"But we need your generous donations and tithes to continue to operate our house of god!!!"
God, huh? The all-of-creation in 6 days guy? The water to wine guy? All the fish that swim in the sea and beasts that roam on the land and birds that sing in the sky? That guy? Seems to me he'd have no trouble magically causing a church to spring forth out of the ground for you if you're so damn devout, then. At the very least he could keep all his bisops and deacons and popes in clean vestments without having to put it on the congregation's dime.
No? How curious.
It is strange that the creator of the universe needs $20.
What does God need with a starship?
Nothing, but his followers have a powerful need to breathe.
Or, like, make mana fall from heaven or give the pastors the occasional plague of quail to handle food requirements.
Not a single instruction in the church age of the bible saying to give tithes. Only to be generous.
Whole thing's a con.
