Christianity: For entertainment purposes only?

Brian, the Bible itself calls for tithes, 10%,etc...I'm sure you're aware of this.
It's not enforced though, my father in particular used to struggle trusting Him with our finances and thus did not give much toward the Church.
That was a while ago, today he gives of his earnings and is the better for it.
Note, we are not wealthy, far from it, yet we are relatively content.
Besides, all is the LoRD's anyways, so it's fully within his "rights" to ask for a little back.

"Christians help people because they want a reward when they die"Brian, this is a hugely mistaken claim. You cannot soley base your argument on your OWN assumptions as to how other Christians live.
Christians reach out to others in gestures of Love and kindness, as instructed from scripture.As a side note, try an Evangelical church sometime. You'll be surprised as to how God moves in those places...
