Get in to heaven.

[Chad32]

This reminds me of the saying, "If god is your copilot, switch seats". I find it odd that this god, who can speak whatever he wants into existence, would demand your most valuable things. Your time, your money, whatever you grow or make. He doesn't need it. You do need it. Your family and friends need it. It should be a red flag that this is not about giving to god, but about giving to people in power, who claim to speak for god.

If someone asked me to give my best to god, I think what I'd do is make a secret stash, and that's my god stash. Nobody else knows where it is, but I pray to god and tell him that he can take from it whatever he wants. Anyone else would just be an unneeded middleman. at the end of my days, I will tell my child about the stash, and say they can have whatever god didn't take, and do the same with their own stash.

I doubt that religious leaders would like that idea.
