Is this what tithing is?

[TapirDangerDan]

What are going to do about it?
Bark up a beechnut tree, or Man up?

Do you think that North Koreans should also toughen up and let their children die while they save the photographs of their former leaders from fire?

Ah yes, I read the same article. Since Kim Jong Un lives in a narrow neck of land, you should ask DCP about that.

I'm gonna tell the good Lord he made the streets of heaven paved with gold, he didn't need my money, use your own damn wealth. And, why didn't you use your own damn wealth better in our miserable suffering world when it was needlessly suffering and you could have done a whole lot more than all of us combined to get rid of all the suffering for lack of money, which you, and your power, could actually make?

No. I am not going to be judged by God about what I did with my meager amounts of money I made, he is going to be held accountable for being able to make so much gold he could have planets the size of Beetlejuice all over the galaxy with nothing lost for Him, and shared the wealth to alleviate needless deaths from starvation, again with no loss to Himself of any kind. It's God who is on trial, not me. I'm not the immoral, money loving greedy wretch, God is. He COULD have done something about it, in fact, everything about it, and CHOSE NOT TO, for whatever reason. This cannot be a morally good action, causing needless suffering when it’s solveable.

I am not worried about my judgment, I am worried for God's.

You enjoy bringing up the suffering of others as some strawman to keep from paying tithing, which you’re capable of doing. But what do I know. I’m sure you give a generous donation to the suffering, but maybe not, since you’re glad there’s suffering in the World as an excuse to not pay tithing.

As for God’s gold, I don’t believe the Federal Reserve recognizes His wealth on their financial books nor has provided an international exchange rate for the USD. Since the Church is based in the US, the majority of its transactions will have to be in US Dollars, which you’re capable of paying, not in God’s gold.

And good luck in judging God. Make a video of it on YouTube so everyone can a good laugh.

so far off and you can't even see it... Of COURSE I am not paying my tithing to Joseph Smith's invented church. DUH. I am using my money for the betterment of others as I have the ability to do so, and am perfectly happy doing so.
