This interesting article reveals that many devout Christians continue to tithe (to give 10% of their income) to their church, even as they face foreclosure and the loss of their home.
This article really got me sad. So many people are so simple-minded and naive that it really gets me down. Religious institutions have brainwashed people for so long and so completely that they will lose their home before they stop giving their money to the church.
Here is a reality check: the church DOES NOT = God. Sorry. There are some very well-meaning churches I am sure. But there are also completely and to-the-core EVIL churches as well. Take for example churches run by televangelists.
Ignorant people who have nothing in their lives but the promise that they will be rewarded after death are preyed on by those who seek (and often generously receive) their reward in life.
