This is your definition.but not the true definition of the church my friend.Everything you think,everything you say,everything you  type/write everything you do,of which God is aware of.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.Galatians 6:7

This is not about money.It's about God.

It causes people to be close-minded. It tears families apart. I kind of wish christians were much more humble, but that doesn't mesh well with their need to run everyone's lives.

God gift's him or makes him rich,probably.

I don't think the money comes from heaven. It comes from fleecing the sheep.

When you do something worthy of mocking, you should be mocked. Part of the problem with people in power is that they think power makes them immutable to judgement. For a social species, this is rather stupid.

Nobody will enter heaven because heaven doesn't exist. It's a myth.

Come now, surely God can take a joke?  I'll bet he has a much more omni-sense of humor than you give Him credit for.  But I actually agree with you about submission to 'god', at least the way I define it. 

God isn't out there.  God is a name for the ground of being inside.  Our conscious minds are so well developed that we lose track of the rest of consciousness.  We're an experiment.  Can a creature invest this heavily in an autonomous deductive/inductive evaluative function and still survive and thrive as the organism it is?  Connecting to 'god', understood this way, really is important.  But no worship is needed, nor tithing, nor early Sunday meetings.  Are you sure you wouldn't rather join my belief system?

I wouldn't want to be in heaven anyway. Technically I can't be, because the only way I'd be able t stay is if Yahweh lobotomized me. Which is the implication, given how he feels about thoughts equaling actions. You will think only what he wants you to think. You will do only what he wants you to do.

What does that mean, god is not mocked?

If I mock him, it doesn't count? It gets wiped from history?

We don't have t prove the bible is wrong. That's not our burden. There are many holy books, and many gods, creators of the universe or not. I don't have the time, energy, or patience, to disprove all supernatural entities that anyone has ever believed in.

As a responsible adult, I'm not worried about taking responsibility for my actions.
