I went to church on the weekend

[*mrgrizz*]

That was a real eye opener.

the sermon was about giving to the church using some verse from the bible that i can't remember.

well anyway in a nut shell you are meant to give 10% regardless of how much you earn

so someone on minimum wage who happens to beleive has to struggle week in week out to satisfy the church
