If you don't believe then I hope one day you will but I don't judge. That's God's job. There are a lot of Christian haters out there but also a lot of over-the-top bible pushers as well who that turn away non-Christians.

I have a lot of non-Christians friends and they should no more judge me for being a Christian than I should for them holding their own beliefs.

I also DO run some continuity programs. It depends on the offer. I curse and I love beer. I'm not proud of some of the offers I've run in the past but it doesn't disqualify me or anyone as a Christian. It doesn't work that way. There are no perfect Christians and being a Christian is a lot more than a word it's holding a belief.

My pastor drives an old blue toyota truck, no radio, stick shift.

My youth pastor drives a Sabb. The front door's lock doesnt work, his windows no longer roll down (he had to duck tape them up at one point), etc.

The reason they don't have nicer cars? Because they themselves are dedicated to the cause and even though they have less income than a lot of people give way more on a percentage than most people.

If you think money could go to other causes and be a better usage you're wrong. Other charities charge administrational fees usually in the 10-20%. When I write a check out to an Indian orphanage and give it through my church for example, 100% of it goes directly to the orphanage.

I choose to give through my church because of that.

Lastly, it's not about feeling good. I can feel good just by going and kissing my wife. It's about changing people's lives.

I do appreciate your points however!

Thanks,

JV

I'm just saying, you seem like too smart of a guy to fall into it all. And if you follow "gods rule of 10%" (one of the things that always bothered me…that's a CHURCH/business "rule". What happened to making donations on your own will rather than being told you have to give 10%?) then we can assume you are giving your churches 30k a month? That much money could go to more direct causes where you know the needy are getting most of it. Or better yet, with that amount you could start your own charity and give it out exactly as you feel is needed.

One question to help put my mind at ease…that harvest church you donated to…what kind of car does the pastor drive?

And just to be clear, none of this is meant to be a direct attack at you, Jon, or to offend you at all. You honestly do seem like a pretty good guy which is why it sucks to see you get milked like that. But then again, if it makes you feel good and such then I guess it is worth it right?

It's kind of the same way I feel bad for Tom Cruise…I'm sure it makes sense to him and makes him feel part of something important but doesn't he ever stop to think about it all?
