I have no beef with tithing BTW, it's all up to you. My only beef would be with someone who tithes what they can't afford to tithe out, ama someone who tithes $100 when they need that $100 to feed their kids, pay their dad's hospital bill, etc.

And believe this too, there are very many people who tithe out of faith and yet they are still wallowing in abject poverty despite their faith that god will help with their finances. You aren't financially OK coz god has helped you out with your finances (because that's like saying he has chosen not to help others out witht heir finances) - you are OK coz you either earn a lot, you have good fiscal policies, etc.
