Shurch organization morality is mostly comprized of guilt-extortion money to pay utilities and mortgages. It also funds the virtue signaling tropical vacation-missions that justify nonprofit status and the majority of the revenue goes toward the pastor's private household of homosexual horrors.

the origins of 10% tithes came about to support the welfare of the church - in fact in countries like in Iceland in the 1500s if I am not mistaken, it was only 1% which got the people to agree, but churches accumulated enough wealth to buy the lands of the countries. Missionaries went in for a few decades in Africa, Caribbean, Asia etc and established infrastructure, schools, influenced young minds before global colonization of the west took place. And before that, and the separation of church and state, God was the Kingdom, and all was one. Fast forward to today's times, churches that have larger, richer congregations are filthy rich, and many abuse it - but this is not the same for all. There are many others that's separated from politics and wealth, provide some anchoring and baseline for people to rise and safety net when they fall. But religion can be easily interpreted into anything you want and manipulated no doubt.

The entire concept of church hierarchy and the idea of a pastor living on tithes is grotesque and a continuation of old testament ceremonial law. Being a priest is not a profession, but our tax law presumes it is, and one tax exempt. Im all for paying less to the government, but paying to a church is just sending it to a more intrusive and self inflicted government. Don't get me wrong, I give the benefit of the doubt to those pastors that believe in their concept of mission and calling, but the way they do it is counter biblical and inherently corrupt.
