If it is just, what is there to feel guilty about? Are you saying you are conflicted? I genuinely want to know; I'm not trying to get a rise.

Edit: Can someone who's not drunk articulate my thoughts for me here? I know what I wanted to ask there, I just can't seem to formulate it.

Well I would feel more conflicted if I actually tithed....have not given money to a Church since last year.

Thought in a way, yes. Especially for the poorer churches and those struggling to get by (my Church has had to borrow money for example). Now for the multimillion dollar churches, I say tax them 25% (a low tax rate). No reason a church should have that much money.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
