Oh no- you are not one of those are you?
The uninvolved?
Until it's your own grandmom being ripped off, then suddenly it matters?

Is your grandma being ripped off?

So now you have to be Black and Jewish to speak out against Racism and
anti-Semitism?
And a woman to speak out against inproper work place behavior, sexual harassment, and rape?

I have no church, because too many believers like you run them.

Then you should have no problem with people other than yourself deciding to support their local church. It seems that you hold one opinion but don't like other people having a different opinion. How are you being harmed by Christians deciding on their own to support the good works their church is doing?

I don't have a problem with others giving, I have a problem with believers being deceived about the whole tithe issue; why you can't understand that??? I don't know. Tithing is obsolete.

Tithing was an issue of the specific economic system of ancient Judea/Israel. It was an AGRARIAN society which
was based on HEREDITARY LAND----fixed and forever. Every tribe had HEREDITARY LAND-----except the tribe of LEVI. The tribe of Levi was LANDLESS in an agrarian society------the tithe included---amongst other somewhat socialistic economic issue---the support of the landless Levites. At that time LAND meant power.

Churches don't force their congregants to tithe, so if a person decides he wants to do it, why does it bother you so much?

If you are not a Christian and never have been, you really have no horse in this race. All you're doing is sitting on the outside, carping at those on the inside.

I was Christian for 20 years; tithing should be public issue discussion, if you think its private, then you leave the thread.

Christians use tithing for power, and they are trying to claim its God's will. Giving is God's will, but these churches have made it a mandatory curse.

I would suggest that since you aren't Christian, now, that the Christian practice of tithing is none of your damn business.

It's called personal freedom ... or, freedom of religion, if you will. Frankly, your opinion is irrelevant.

Having been a practicing Christian for a lot longer than your 20 years, I have NEVER seen tithing to be mandatory. Quit painting false dichotomies.

Then don't go to Creflo DoLLARS CHURCH, OR ANY PROSPERITY MINISTRY.

I don't think it's private. Christianity is an open book. The fact, though, that you are no longer a Christian means that, as I said, you have no horse in the race and you're sitting on the outside, complaining about choices that people on the inside make.

So where's the mandatory? Those guys are committing fraud, and will answer to God for it, but where did it say giving was mandatory?

Giving is not mandatory, its voluntary. And should be. Why would God require giving?? For what? It defeats the purpose of giving.

Lets say you now have a chance to actually give God something; why would you give him money?

What's God going to do with money?

You claim you were a Christian, yet you display no understanding of what giving is or its purpose.

Interesting.

I note two things .....

1) You have no practical understanding of tithing. The very idea that the money goes to God is beyond laughable, and clearly demonstrates a level of ignorance beyond normal human conception. Further, I wonder why you think it is within your purview to judge the actions of others. Maybe you should look a little closer to home.

2) I am continually amazed about how atheists feel the visceral need to prove their position. I wonder who they are trying to convince - Christians or themselves. It appears atheists don't exactly really believe the nonsense they spout - and are looking for validation. Christian, on the other hand, seem very content with who they are and what they believe. It's almost as if we recognize the more atheists there are, the more backyard space we'll have in Heaven.
