One thing that pissed me off and contributed to my leaving religion-this insistence on tithing. Neither Jesus nor Paul command Christians to tithe. In fact when it's mentioned in the Old Testament, it's a tithe of FOOD. That's right FOOD. To be given only to: the Levites, the poor, and the person tithing. It was only to be required of those who produce or deal in food and crops. It's total bullshit intended to separate people from their money.
It contributes greatly to the stigma many Christians have for those on government assistance that often don't (and often can't) tithe.
Then you have the scripture where Paul says "If you don't work you don't eat." further adding to stigma. So, fuck the disabled I guess.
How about Fuck God? and Fuck religion.
