What I like about the Tithe

1. It's easy to figure out. Just take your paycheck and move the decimal one place to the left.

2. No need to pray for an answer about how much to give or to whom.

3. Keeps the pastor off my butt.

4. I can glare at the guilty looking shmucks during stewardship sermons.

5. Monogrammed tithe envelopes.

6. Blowing off pan-handlers with a smug "I gave to my church"

7. Easy to figure out my charitable contributions for Schedule A.

8. An occasional nod or wink from the pastor during stewardship sermons.

9. Watching the ushers dive for my check when I drop it on the floor.

10. Woo Hoo! 90% left for me! ;)
