:::You'd be surprised how many of those things you list that churches supposedly spend their money on are actually done by members at no charge to the church. [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinx McHue]] 16:32, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

:::Additionally, expensive projects such as remodeling and additions are typically paid for by church members above and beyond their usual tithing. For example, my church paved their parking a while back and members pledged to pay for it with donations specifically for the project. (And lo and behold, God blessed our faithful giving through the state generously compensating the church for major roadwork being done nearby.) You see, if you actually researched the issue, most churches have specific rules for what can and cannot be done with tithes and some churches (like mine) even allow members to have control over what tithes are used for.

Hey, I was just link-surfing and I came upon this page. I noticed the picture of two un-named (presumably poor) children. In my personal opinion, the photo has very little to do with the article. The article concerns atheists, not poor people. Perhaps a different photo would be better? [[User:Luminite2|Luminite2]] 22:47, 9 April 2009 (EDT)
