Come on, you don't see a parallel between religion and government? Are you sure you're agnostic? You don't seem to be able to look at religion objectively.
Do I have a choice to tithe? Indeed I do.
Do I have a choice to pay taxes? I indubitably do not.

Oh look! Another thread on religion that stirs a debate had time and time again on this board! Yay!

You mean your church doesn't make you turn in your income documents at the end of the year? I gotta get a new church.

I actually do know some churches like this down in the south that ask to see your paystub in order to help you pay your tithe.

And if you don't pay it, you go to jail, right?

The notion that churches want to see paystubs is just ludicrous (I'm what the Bible calls a cheerful giver so it wouldn't affect me).

Not only that, they can force them to attend and worship, and throw them in prison if they disobey.

Damn evangelicals and their force of law.

Don't pay your taxes - go to jail
Don't tithe - go to hell
Seems like a pretty easy parallel to draw

You don't know much.
But I know I love you.
And that may be all I need to know.

What church is that? Does the pastor's name end with "Dollar"?

That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I wonder if placement in that church's version of heaven is similar.

Tax fraud. Tithe fraud. Both government and churches know there's more money that can be coaxed out of the turnips. They just have to get bigger and bigger.

Can I be incarcerated for not tithing at a church I don't attend?

Don't bother. They're not interested in an actual argument. Just poo slinging at establishments of the morality that sticks in their craw.
