What use does the lord of the cosmos have for money, and why would the representatives of such a being find themselves so strapped for cash? Why not worship in your homes? Surely a literalist so well read on the matter would be able to find ample "biblical support" for such a practice? A temple is a pretty pagan holdover for your religion to carry around. Tiny little gods needed houses, that's where they were and where they lived you see. Yours is everywhere (or so I'm told). Obviously these temples are built for men, not god. But then one has to ask, why would we require an intermediary, isn't the whole point to have a personal relationship?
Tithing is a fucking scam meant to support the business of religion, not the practice of religion.
