Yes you are absolutly correct. To me these people are the scum of the earth. They ruin it for everyone.
You don't have to give your money to a church to tithe. You can just give it to the needy, in the name of God, and then recieve his blessings. You are just ackwoledging that money is from him, and you give back the first ten percent to prove this ackowledgment.
I have started it this year, and so far, its been a great year money wise, and blessing wise. I am very careful where it does go.
If you do give money to someone who is stealing it for himself, you will still recieve the blessings, because you have really given it to God, he sees that. True faith in God means that you will recieve those blessings, and you will not be angry at the person who stole them. It doesn't matter how rich that guy is, you have God's blessing, he probably doesn't.
*edit* This is a test of the Lord, it says so in the bible.
