[QUOTE="johnr, post: 392493, member: 395"] Again, If I had a choice to give my taxes to the places I felt were deserving I would, however none of us have a choice in that, and I wish they only took 20%. You giving your money to whatever you want is great, no issue with any of this, if its a good feeling for you and you see it as good, keep it going. But your gold covered idols are not part of the teachings of giving to the poor. A church regardless of domination is for the good of its members and the communities, them having huge buildings, gold idols to worship, and piles of tax free advantages, all the while not helping the drug addict, or the homeless is odd at best. I give to our church to keep the lights on, the doors open, the preacher paid, etc. If they suddenly needed a bunch of gold chalets and diamond collection plates, I would feel a lot different.
