VIOLENCE VS SEX

[Midwest Spy]

They're pretty much saying "hey, most of the congregation feels they have the right to vote on what you do with your life and think you're going to burn in hell, but we welcome and love ya money anyway".

I understand the 'big business' part of church being a real turn-off to some people. I really do.

Passing around the offering plate at times still feels tacky to me. If you feel like giving to your church (and I personally do, because I know where just about all of the money goes) then you should be able to give privately.

Televised services where someone is asking 'folks at home' to give is super tacky.

In short, yes, if your church means a lot to you and you want to support their charitable activities, by all means, give what you can.
