Nailed it!
Now there are some preachers on TV,
With a suit and a tie and a vest,
They want you to send your money to the Lord,
But they give you their address,
‘Cause all of your donations are completely tax free,
God Bless you all but most of all send your money
~ Hank Williams Jr., The American Dream
I attend some social meetings and Bible studies at various Protestant churches.
I’ve lost track of how many people I’ve met there who tell me “I used to be a Catholic”.
And those churches all practice tithing. Accountants at the Vatican have noticed, apparently.
