Or you could like...give 10% of your income to charity instead of the church. I mean, if it's God's money, and He wants you to share it with His people, then give it to people who need it more than a church potentially requires candelabrum so they can maintain the smell of incense...Seriously, don't you think tithing to single mothers working a min. wage job and struggling to survive even though her predicament is not her fault doesn't need that juicy 10% more than your church? Why does God want it to go to the church? Wouldn't you be saving the single mother in a sense that she can believe even in the darkness there are true people and true christians willing to help those in need? But instead you give money so kids that already believe in God get their Bible classes?
