Tithes over debt obligations
#2
RE: Tithes over debt obligations
This whole giving money to the church shit always reminds me of this one:

Quote:Three friends, a priest, a minister and a rabbi are sitting around discussing how they divide up the weekly collection from the congregation.

The priest says, "I use a pretty simple method. I draw a chalk circle about 3 feet diameter on the floor of the church. Then I stand in the middle with the money from the collect on a plate. I throw the money up in the air, and what lands inside the circle is for God, what falls outside the circle is for me."

The minister says, "I use the same method, but I make the circle only 1 foot diameter."

They both look at the rabbi, who says, "Ach, I don't bother with the circle, I throw the money up in the air... What God wants he takes."

Seriously, Number 18:21 says:

Quote:“To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting,

How much do you want to bet that some fucking "Levite" wrote that in there as part of his clan's strategic business plan!
