^Even as elementary school kids we were issued a box of little envelopes with our names on them to put our money in for the collections baskets that were passed around at mass. As a kid, the church was tracking who gave how much.

I'll say one thing. Local churches can have some mercy at the lower levels. My mother put an envelope in the basket every week, at the risk of food in our mouths. Somebody there cut a refund check for her at the end of the year, from the church's checking account.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
