This is going to make me sound like a horrible person, but oh well. >_<

I do not just randomly give out anything, whether it be money, items or whatnot. I only give to people that have helped me out in the past, or I have known for ages. In these days where it costs seven dollars for twenty cigarettes, $4.40 for a gallon of gasoline and five dollars for a sandwich, I do not have enough liquid assets to just throw at people.

Where in the world does it say that you should pay tithe to a church?

@d0min1nated14
It says it somewhere in the Bible. Here:

Numbers 18:26 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

26 "Speak to the Levites and say to them: 'When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I give you as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the LORD's offering

@d0m1nated14, it does say in the bible that you must give 10% of your financial income to your church

but i do agree that things are way too expensive to just give your money to anyway, luckily a majority of people dont live in places like Germany where about 10% of your income automaticly goes to the Church of Germany no matter what(with taxes),even if you dont go there, or arn't christian

Whoa... really? I had no idea about that in Germany. But you guys do have some strange laws. My brother got a citation for not getting all the snow off of his sidewalk.

ya asherlee, and the bad thing about it is that unemployment rate is very high there, so people definitly cant afford it

I once went into a bathroom in a gas station outside of Frankfurt and I closed the stall door. On the back side it read:

"One day the world will realize that Hitler was right."

I was like...GOTTA GO!

lol how was hitler right? thats what i wanna know...well i guess ww2 was really just lesser evil vs. evil not good vs. bad

To some people Hitler is right.

your not gonna get struck by lightning or anything if you don't tithe, but it's still a good thing to give a little every once in a while, and i don't think people should offer 10%, because that's a little bit much, especially if it were Bill Gates or sumthing

I know I'm not going to get struck by lightning. I know I don't have to, but I chose to.

I'd rather donate to a good cause,eg salvation army,at least i know that it's for good,but if i donate to a church,i do not know where to funds go,except for more facilities for the church,etc.unless there's donation drive,i will donate.

I know I don't have to, but I chose to.
