I do not tithe always in the typical way. (Putting money in the plate.)
Sometimes I will give to a charity or some sort of organization. Others I will give to indivisual people when I see a true need. Now if I see you have a need and God prompts me to give you money, bus ticket, gift card, rent, or whatever, and you decide to use my tithe for something else does that make you guilty of the same sin as this Polk county pastor in your minds eye? Why or why not?
That money according to christian dogma was not give to the pastor but rather the church and by proxy god. So he stole so called gods money.
In the end funny thing is myself and many i know that do not buy the religion bs give like mad and don't need to be told to do so. I just know what is right based on how I want to be treated. I didn't need a fantasy to be a good person.
