Put a search into Google for Tithing and look close at the results. You would find that many of the results and the web sites that are listed are against Tithing. Some of them mask what they are about until you get to their site. They want to lure visitors in and then do the bait and switch. This article is about the real rea

The comedian Bill Hicks had the answer for pseudo-christians all along!

I have engraved it inside, and will call it out at every opportunity from now on. It will be a default, standard response to people who lack any curiosity, compassion or capacity for humility and humor - the ones who call themselves Christians, but have
