I don't think giving money to a church so that you get special favors in your next life (which for him means being the intergalactic ruler of a planet) is really all that charitable.

That's easy for you to say, when you haven't been on the receiving end of Mormon tithe payers like I have. My wife is an active Mormon. I honestly had to be dragged to church with her on Sundays because Id rather stay at home and watch TV. And when she asked me early on in our marriage if I would give 10% of my income to her church I sortof balked.
That was until 2008 when my whole world was turned upside down and the company I worked with was gone overnight.
Without question, and without ever even asked to pay back, her church 1) Paid my $2500 rent/util payments for 4 months, 2) made my $600 minivan payment and insurance, and every single day members brought food from the Bishops Storehouse. Also free help watching the kids while I looked for work, and even put me into an employment services to help me find a job.
All this is possible because people like Mitt Romney paid tithing. I didnt have to turn to the government for welfare or unemployment, and they helped us to our feet.
Ever since, Ive gladly given up 10% because I see firsthand how beneficial it is.

Cause you're not quite evil enough. You're semi-evil, you're quasi-evil, you're the margarine of evil,
you're the diet coke of evil, just one calorie, not "evil" enough.

Make your own thread for religious attacks! This thread is all about Mitt Romney's generosity, and other people's stinginess.

I guess your wife gets to spend eternity making soul babies to populate planets now?
EDIT: But on a side note, if you had taken 10% of your salary and kept it for all the years you paid the tithe, how much would you have had to take care of the problems yourself?

And next you'll be using this as an argument against any kind of insurance, right?
'Cause you're consistent like that.

No, because insurance is a contract. There's no contract that says the Mormon church has to take care of people who pay tithes, how much they have to pay out, or how long. You're trusting the benevolence of people over the rigors of contract law. The two things aren't even comparable.

How about you send me 10% of your paycheck, and then maybe if you ever need some help, I'll swoop in and save the day.
Maybe.
