im a christian... and im sorry. i really truly am. im sorry that one or a few people made you feel bad about a whole group of people. but not all of us are money sucking assholes. some of us are cool, and love people regardless of where they are at in their lives. so on behalf of all chirstians im sorry for making you feel that way. and i do hope you find what you are looking for.

HAHA awesome question! When I was in college there were these people who tried to convert me! At first they were friendly and nice,... after awhile I told them christianity is the crappiest thing I have ever seen they turned against me and try to say it was a sign from god that they met me etc and I should seize the moment and convert and so on! LOL
Their love is usually fake don't trust them. By the way they say this person that did this and that is not true christian. They lie they are all the same. Christianty is a feel good cult
Anyway when it comes to giving money to churchs look how they exploit poor people and the "man of god" become richer and richer. People should stop going to churchs and make those clergy men find a real job

True Christians don't hate you. We try to educate you as to what Jesus said and God expects. We love you regardless to whether or not you listen. We may not like your ways, your words, your action or your beliefs but we love you. Going to church is not about making anyone rich, it's about fellowshipping with those that share your beliefs and worshipping God. Money is given in obedience to God. The money goes towards making sure the church can pay it's bills and keep the doors open so that believers will have a place to worship. It also goes towards other needs of the church, church employees salaries, helping the needy, feeding the hungry and so on. Trust me I haven't gotten rich from anyone giving money to the church. There may be a few people that have gotten rich, but they will have to answer to God if they did anything fraudulent to gain their wealth. Just like there are corrupt people in all walks of life. Corrupt police, doctors, CEO's, priests. In the end, we are all human, with human tendencies and human weaknesses.

If there are truly false Christians standing in between you and God...just push past them and seek God on your own. Begin a relationship with Jesus and ask Him to lead you to a fellowship of true believers that will love and nurture you.
God is after your soul not your money. And when you give tithes and offerings to the Church,you are giving to Him.(and He will reward you both now and in the next life.

God loves you & I love you because He does. Your giving money to the church has nothing to do w/ my getting rich, but you would be blessed by your giving. The church I attend uses the money received for community outreach, among other things. Our pastor has his own construction business & is not paid by the church.

Actually, it's the priests that want your money. We get zip from them. Really, WE'RE the ones giving money, too. We just want to hear a good sermon and get on with our lives in peace with God. I don't really care if you follow God or not, just don't start telling everyone he's an idiot. We don't appreciate that.

The money part is not the divine created phenomenon. It is the greedy that took the pulpit when the intellegent left the religon, and the dumb supported the greedy.
But the dumb is the most convicted, and will go to heaven and the greedy and intelligent will go to hell for what they did.

Honestly, I couldn't care less if you go to church. I care even less if you give money to the church.
I don't hate you at all. However, ALL Christians want everyone else to experience the peace that we know.

It's your choice. God will bless you if you let Him.

Nobody hates you and nobody wants any money from you. Most Christians have a total peace and joy that they wish everyone could have. Going by your name, you don't have this. If you are not interested then fine. Sorry my belief offends you.
