"When you tithe, God makes promises to us, that he ... is not going to let anything bad or destructive come about," says Mr. Sorensen. For those who don't tithe, he says the Lord "is not obligated to do those things for you."

Ahh. God is paid protection, sort of a hired bodyguard.

I'd like to see the numbers of tithers who have had no problems and never got sick or died, or had anything bad happen to them.

You know what? God doesn't need our money. Why would he?

He doesn’t need anything. Tithing just shows our obedience to Him, that’s all.

“God doesn’t need our money. Why would he?”

God wants you to love him more than your money. Everything you have he gave you, if giving back a tithe is too much then it kinda says where your heart is.
