In Islam you are to give 2.5% of your income to the poor, not the church. This is called zakat.
as a catholic… this isnt how it works. you just give what you can, theres no set percentage required. youre thinking of other christian denominations
It would be more accurate if they showed a picture of Russell M Nelson. I grew up Mormon and if you didn’t pay your 10%, it didn’t matter how little you made. You could be barred from taking the sacrament, participating in blessings, and prevented from going to the temple.
i’m not sure I trust a chicken’s opinion on religious doctrine
No, catholics find other ways to rape the world of its wealth. And little boys.
That’s 10% Gross, not Net, GROSS!
10% is great if you’re content with doing the bare minimum for God, I guess.
And this exactly why people need to pull their heads out of their butts and get some sense. This is a great example of how the church is really just an economical business scam that preys on people’s hopes, dreams, and fears.
running a world wide pedophile ring aint cheap, plus pope got a taste for fine eyetalian footware.
4% of your income so you don’t have to deal with the insurance companies’ BS anymore.

We were always so poor growing up, relatively speaking, we had a decent standard of living. Never had any money for toys and vacations, but when that collection basket came around we somehow always had enough to donate at least a twenty. Sometimes I even got to drop it in the basket. All for the privilege of being brainwashed and bored out of my mind for a couple of hours every Sunday.
