Do you donate when you go to church?

[blondfrog]

I only donate directly. I don't trust anyone else with my money.

[Jjpayne]

I do give a tithe when I go to church

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I usually drop my enveloped check into a basket when I attend mass. However, this darned pandemic has prevented me from physically going to church. So, for nearly a whole year now, I've been mailing my checks to the churches I used to frequent on Sundays.

If I'm sick - I don't go to a hospital.
When I pray - I don't go to a church.
The 'offering' is a social pressure and an invention of church functionaries; it has nothing to do with God or with Jesus.
Further: the idea of cultish sacrifices is rather from pre-Judaism, or Paganism.

[Horny-ashell]

I don't go to church but I have gone in the past not sure how I feel about donating. I had seen in the past that the church my grandparents attended took advantage of them with donations it got a bit out of hand till it came to an end. Just my experience don't want anyone getting the wrong opinion of churches I'm sure they don't all work this way.

Tithing as churches preach it is a lie. The tithe was in ancient Israel and was for the Levites, who were God's chosen priests. Pastors who claim they are owed a tithe are literally claiming to be God's chosen priest class, when Jesus Christ literally abolished the priest class by going to God in behalf of people.

Haven't gone in a year but I do when I go. More than that though, even if I'm not attending church at the moment, I help out my colleagues monetarily when they're in need and I know the money is actually making a person sleep peacefully at night.

[Lyndsielee666]

I’d literally explode if I stepped foot in a church. Wouldn’t donate to them anyway, they keep the money for themselves

[matchrestore]

My wife and I don't get to church often with our work schedules, but we do give offering online. Not a ton, since money's still tight.

[zagor]

I go maybe once or twice a year (pre-covid) while visiting my parents. Since their church seems to be struggling (I think the median age is > 70) I'll put a twenty in the plate.

[DizzyDesii]

I pay tithes but i dont donate because i dont trust where that extra money goes too

[AmeerX]

I don't go to church nor do I donate specifically at my own religious place.
I give charity to whoever I feel deserving

[SamtheDnDgirl]

I am not one for church. I was, figuratively, burned by them when I came out of LGBT.

[legalboxers]

you aren't really donating to the church. You are buying the pastor a fucking bmw or Porsche #fightmeonthis

[Anonymous]

No my local parish has millions in real estate they don't need my money

[michael1469]

I dont need a church to donate to a cause. I also dont need s church to believe in god.

[Anonymous]

I haven't gone to church in over a decade. When I did I usually donated charitably, but I stopped after our Parish priest stole the donation money and ran off with some girl.

[Anonymous]
