Tithes over debt obligations
#13
RE: Tithes over debt obligations
Mormons tithe at 10% PLUS any extra the Church wants for say a new temple.

Muslims are meant to tithe at 2.5% (I think,Rayaan will know) but are admonished to look after the poor widows,orphans etc. Christians are obliged to care for others. This is pretty clearly outlined in the parable of "The Good Samaritan".

Although Catholics are not obliged to tithe,when I was growing up,there were heavy financial burdens on my parents from the church.MY father felt morally obliged to send his four children to Catholics schools,for which he paid fees. (the so-called 'education' was appalling,although one did get chronic Catholicism imbued by the constant use of violence upon one's person) PLUS our parish had a 'planned giving scheme' whereby you pledged a certain amount each year.
