For most of the big and rich churches, it is compulsory to GIRO 10% of your gross earnings every month to church if you want to be a member. Before u can become a member, u got to fill an employment slip detailing your job and gross monthly salary before CPF contribution. So really cannot siam one. Where else u think they got the money to build such big and nice buildings?Thats not all, u frequently have to cough out extras for whatever additional fund raising events such as money for new buildings or overseas missions.
So really, modern churches is very much about fishing for rich enterprising individuals to become their members. Of course the poor are welcome, but the handsome pretty rich individuals are even more welcome.

works both ways. Everyone (including (non)/ believers) needs to learn to think more.

that is hilarious. the questions we posed are the results of our thinking. the more we think, the more we find the concept unsustainable and far fetched, not to mention bothers on the ridiculous.

dont think too highly of yourself. you don't quite seem to be able to think and reason. most of your posts are mere RANTS. White noise. drivel. With your intellect, whatever that remains, it's not surprising that you're not able to comprehend beyond what you can perceive at the moment.

boy oh boy. this is all you can come up with personal attacks when you are unable or unwilling to answer the questions posed by left, right and centre. how utterly pathetic you are, but then you are not alone here. your non answering of the questions have answered my questions indirectly already, not to mention the personal attacks. thank you very much.

No money then don't donate. No God will look down on anyone just because they are poor. If u feel discriminated, it's probably others around u, not God.

Hi imacattt,
You don't have to pay tithes to be a Christian. Being a Christian means you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, while repenting from sins.
Even if 10% of your tithe is 10cents, God will be pleased too! :)
-
if you cant pay up your tithe, you are not supporting god and his churches, you are satan follower!

it's not a personal attack when I'm stating the obvious about you.
Where have i not answered your questions? I'm still waiting for your response to my post on the evil thread page 12, dated 28 May 11:16pm. And also the one at 11:22pm. Have you found out what "epistemology" means? on the other hand, you blatantly avoided answering my questions by "passing"...
Be waiting for you back on the other thread. For once, bring something substantial to the table...

stay home,read a bible and eat sharks fins soup with mney meant for tithes

I will not reply to any of your incoherent or illogical argument, that is why. not personal attacks? go re-read your own threads and comments posted. anyway I am not surprised at the way you are having a go at me, just like a few of your like minded mates here. I will be surprised if you did not have a go at me because your reputation have preceded you. I have maintained my stand earlier, your incoherent replies or non replies have answered my questions already.

if this is not deemed as personal attacks, I dunno what is seriously.

illogical?? asking if you have warrant for your beliefs is illogical? first of all, i haven't made any argument to be branded illogical. Second of all, asking for warrant is not illogical because if you don't have a basis for asking those questions, how can you pose them in the first place?
incoherence does not answer any questions, unless you justify them in your head with your own irrationality. which is why i'm still waiting for your response in the other thread.
i don't care about my reputation, i prefer to call a spade a spade. i see that most of your rants are filled with hatred, spite and bitterness which understandably leads one to commit all sorts of logical fallacies, just like you have. So what do you say? prove to me you've substance for once, or at least humour me by showing that you can answer some of my questions.

you reminds me of someone here previously. its been a long time I didnt see him here. the pattern of your vitriol and lack of coherence and logic sounded very familiar. Let me go find out the identity of his nick.
till date I have not seen any coherent and logical replies yet. all the same usual personal attacks and lack of coherent thought process. alot of questions asked was actually deflected or wasnt answered. actually the way they replied is already answers to the questions asked.

making tentative observations hence the phrase i used, "don't quite seem to be able..." But really, again with your level of comprehension, it's understandable why you would misunderstand.

again, how? seriously, stop avoiding my questions in the other thread and just answer them. why waste time (avoidance) trying to find out who the other person is?
okay okay let's make things much more simpler for you to understand, I cannot proceed to answer your questions because the platform from which you're asking them from is shaky. If you dont have a basis for your questions, how can you pose them in the first place?

I suggest you talk to the church's pastor and get sound advice. Posting such a question in an open forum is just inciting flame wars.

wah I didnt know a question must have a platform in order for it to goes off otherwise it will be shaky. my platform is SMRT
I only know the warrants of shares
they are financial instruments with an expiring date with the cost of a fraction of a share. there are 2 types of warrants, call and put warrants

i give you a kindergarten standard illustration and you attack it. didn't i state that i wanted to make the question simpler for you to understand? how much more juvenile can you get? you're not insulting me, you're insulting yourself. mate, this is not the time and place for you to be practising your straw men attacking skills ...
once again, asking for warrant is not illogical because if you don't have a basis for asking those questions, how can you pose them in the first place?
