Anyway if people voluntarily like donating  to churches for services provided and the upkeep of the building etc, it seems fair to me..Smile
Even Jesus and the disciples had a "money bag", so presumably people gladly donated to keep them from starving.
BTW, guess who was in charge of their money bag?- It was Judas! (Yes that Judas)..Smile

Bolded mine.  If you could come up with a good, clear definition of a True Christian so the rest of us (and the rest of Christians) could tell, that'd be nice.  And while you're at it, make a definition for a True Scotsman as well.

Good point, nobody has ever been to define what a "true" Christian is.
For example Jehovah's Witnesses think they're "trues", but I think they're satanic to the core, and they think the same about me!
One definition of a "true" Christian that I like is- Somebody who likes Jesus.
If we like him, he becomes like our powerful gang leader and his strength automatically trickles down to us.
So I suppose if an atheist likes Jesus,  it'll at least get them to the pearlies and maybe even through them..Smile
As for the Scotch, half think they're "true Scotsmen" because they want to split from the UK and become an independent nation, but the other half regard themselves as "trues" because they want to stay in the powerful UK and reap its benefits for Scotland, so which are the "trues"? You tell me..Smile
