Re: More Catholic crooks

The real question is: What does God need with money?

For the same reason he needs a church....oh thats right,it never said anything the the bible about building a place of worship and charging admission.

Jim Baker found that out the hard way.

I'm "pretty sure" it depends on the church. Instead of repeating thing you read an hear, it'd benefit you to research this on your own. Some churches of Christianity handle pay much differently than others. You can not make a blanket statement and expect it to apply to all. Well... you can, but it makes you look foolish...

No,what makes you look foolsih is putting 10% in the collection plate every week and finding out the priest is out crusing a Ferrari and banging hookers with that money.

Re: More Catholic crooks

I believe the Father that took over at my place of worship is pulling in $120K plus side gigs (baptisms, exorcisms, etc)

This place you get hit up 3 TIMES!!!! When you walk in and TWICE with the baskets! (one is for the never ending building fund though)

No, it does not. Faith in God is what drives one to contribute 10% to the church. It may be foolish continuing to contribute more to the same place/people if these actions continue, but someone is simply following the beliefs of their religion when contributing their share.

These people were deceived by an individual, not their God. God asks for 10% and they obeyed. After that, it is out of their control.

Much like taxes... But we, at least I, give far more than 10% and have no choice in doing so nor where the money goes...

Re: More Catholic crooks

Just like other professions, there are bad priests/pastors/preachers/rabbis. The despicable acts of the few don't negate the good works of the many. Some may point to incidents like this as a reason to not support God's work and that is their choice. It's a poor choice IMHO, but that's not for me to judge.

Re: More Catholic crooks

Now I'm confused. God has a tax of 10%?

Yep, and His "penalty" tax is really steep.
