Can we delete neils post so the thread can actually be read?

As for the money part. A tithe is an act of faith. It's not something people are supposed to ask others to do but something God asked of us as an act of faith. God knows money is the most powerful human force and while he doesn't need our act of surrendering shows faith in him. A tithe doesn't necessarily mean giving money directly yo a church but to whatever it is God directs you personally to give to.

As for the McDonald's thing that is stupid. Bribing anyone to go to church or scripture classes is wrong and counter to what the Bible teaches. God gave people the freedom to choose so who is man to counter that and try to force or bribe people into choosing? Public schools here are not allowed to offer spiritual classes of any type. Private schools are a different matter.

People are free to choose their own way. I don't make cracks at those that don't believe nor do I chastise or make fun of them. I only feel sorry for those that feel the need to do those things to me or others who believe in God. As it is, making fun of people and offering silly remarks is no way for you to endear them to your cause no matter what side of it your beliefs lie.
