To Snark Or Not To Snark
If you’ve been reading my stuff for a while you’ll know that I can be pretty snarky towards my fellow Christians. I love Jesus, and I try my best to live by the Word, but I don’t really like Christians that much. Especially Christians of the fundamentalist persuasion.

I saw a couple of my own excuses in the comments, a couple of people that I thought were right on target, and at least one comment that blew my mind (I hope it was tongue in cheek.) He was looking for responses to the 10% of net/gross. What I want to know is “What about tithing at all?” Do we still need to do it? If we are supposed to be tithing, then why aren’t we?
