of course he does. the tithe basket depends on it. last couple times i went to church it seemed like they were passing that thing around for the whole service.


Another thing I hate about churches. Matthew 6:24: "No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches."



Quick reminder, God did tell his followers to tithe 10% of their income to the religious authorities, and if I remember correctly there was a little something in Matthew about giving to God what is God's and to Caesar what is Caesar. I think I see where you are going with this though, as a lot of times the funds in churches get misused and misguided, through the greed and legalistic tendencies of the humans running the church.
