Charities are notorious for being used to launder money, the sceem of donating to a charity and then letting the charity invest into something under your name or a project that goes bankrupt and the money is payed back to you is hard to trace back.
And it is not only church charities which are used for this kind of scam.
Tithe= Money, Gift, Service given to God, or for the purpose of Glorifying God's name/works.
Tithe in OT times, Meant 10% of whatever your house hold took in needed to be given to the 'church.'
Now a days, the tithe is not limited to 10% nor is 10% even required. The precident in the bible is giving all of one's self. (not just money.)

Getting an atheist to use the term 'sin' is easy peasy, if he thinks that he can use that word to shame or condemn a Christian or Christianity as a whole. That said when atheists do not want to use that word is when they know they can't possiable win an arguement when the crux of the arguement is based on sin. Then out come the reminders that 'technically' you do not even believe in it.
Tell you what, let try and experiement. Say to yourself, that you do not believe in gravity and see if you start to float off the ground... I'll wait...
No?!? You mean your still bound by the laws of graveity even though you do not believe in them??? Then I wonder if your non-belief in sin will really help you float away from accountablity to it?
