Assuming that at the age of 16 a young Catholic will start their working career and tithe 10% of thier income as Jesus told them to every Sunday until the age of 23, when they begin a higher paying job and start tithing 10% of their increased total income. Here's the breakdown of the figures: Ages 16 - 23 = 7 Years of Tithing assuming that your making $125 a week, probably working at McDonalds comes to a Tithing Total of $4,550 from just 10% of your income Ages 23 - 65 (Retirement) = 42 Years of Tithing assuming that your making $40,000 a year at a job you've hated since the age of 23 comes to a Tithign Total of $168,168 from just 10% of your income 65 - Death (Social Security) = Assuming you die at the National Average age of 76 years old, which means that for the last 11 years you've been donating...I mean tithing...your almost worthless Social Security check at 10% a year and praying to your "god" that the government gives you more than $1,500 this month, comes to a Tithing Total of $21,450 Which means that every "Good Catholic" will pay their church and the Pimp of the Vatican "The Pope" who rides around in his blinged out "Rolls-mobile" that costs more than your house, your car, and your kids a Total Of $194,168 So when you have an abortion your costing the Catholic Church about $200,000 of it's hard earned money! No WONDER they hate abortion!!!
rebelfight420 - I've heard that argument from Christians but this point was brought up to me by the Minister at the church I went to for the first 12 years of my life; he said that the "New Testament" is to be followed and that the "Old Testament" is only applicable to a time when "god" had another covenant with "man". He used to say that Jesus made a new promise to love everyone, etc... and that the old testament doesn't apply anymore Either way - The church is still raping it's followers for almost a quarter of a Million dollars!!!
meh, the church knows damn well nobody gives 10% of their income. most people give a couple bucks, which assuming they are making a meager $200 a week that's still only 1%
exactly, it's just like those damn greedy iraqi peasants! i mean look at saddam hussein's palaces; you just know ALL iraqis are cruel greedy dictators
