      Most interesting to me is that there really isn't a close second.

              I note that the percentage is computed "...as a percentage of discretionary income -- your income excluding essential expenses." Clearly a lot of people aren't paying on their gross.

                      Yeah, paying tithing isn't really contributing to charity, it's more like paying protection.

                              It could be worse; you could be giving your money to "cure" cancer or "help" police officers, firefighters, and veterans.

                              I'll let UD swoop (!) in and make some thinly-veiled analogies to the Corporation of the President of the Church.

                                  Yep when I look at stuff like that it makes me feel really good about my Fast Offering donations.

                                  And yeah it pains me a little bit to pay tithing and maybe this is just my way to justify it but I do think it helps me put money in the right perspective -- it's just money and there's a lot more to life.
