[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And those who do put their faith in God must tithe one tenth of their gross income to church. If you do not do so you are robbing God.[/quote]

Yes, God needs money -- to build and maintain buildings where humans can come to worship him - and for salaries for people to lead others in worship.  God is omnipotent, but he can't support his worshippers without their monetary assistance.[/quote]

Why can't God allow people to worship in their homes?

Why do I need to pay someone to read the bible to me?

priests, reverends, ministers - all as bad as other "middlemen" like lawyers and insurance sales reps[/quote]

there are many kind, good clergy who provide the same sorts of support you can get from a social service agency, family members or close friends.  The difference is that clergy are also associated with a religious institution that requires monetary support from its members.  Another difference is that clergy supposedly are God's representatives on Earth and can help solicit divine intervention, if you believe in it or think it will help in a way the other support networks will not.[/quote]
yes, priests are gods representatives on earth, and god is hungry, therefore you have to give money[/quote]
