We called it offering in the church I grew up in.

That's because the United States never tithed you, pierce. Separation of Church and State and all.

It can also mean voluntary giving of money to the church, not just the church getting tax money from the state.

I'd argue semantics, but I don't feel like it. All I'm going to say is that "tithe" comes from a root word meaning "tenth."

Tithes and offerings are different. I don't know about all churches, but in most they kind of expect you to give 10% of your total income for the previous week in tithes after becomming a full fledged member. An offering is what you are offering out of your pocket, whether you are a member or visitor.

Any more questions?

I know in the Christian churches there is a call to pay tithes(hope I spelled that right). When attending an Islamic mass is there something similar?

Yes, it's called Zakkat.

How do you feel about the liberalization of Islam to how Christianity is now?

I Dont think it's a good idea because I dont want it to become how christianity and it's holidays have become now [no offence] (all about money, no faith and look at all the fake healers...you will be saved, you will be saved and they slap you on the head...im saved! <_< )

And the strong message to send the Evangelist money. Nothing pisses me off more than listening to a "pastor" brag about all of the materialistic goods that God provided in thier life and then turn right around and ask for donations. Maybe the money they spent on the second new car should have paid their bills.

The reson is simple bee, they need to support there crak addiction. There all druggies dont you see. They need to stay constantly high for them to be able to spew out that kind of creative BS.

Hmm...I'd have to say Atheist cause all the rest would try to force thier religon on myself (I'm Ukrianain Catholic), whereas the Atheist probely won't care. (Unless they want to argue about why there is no God, which won't come up unless the subject of religon come up.)

Depends on whether you get an activist atheist or one who, you know, isn't a total fucking moron.

Activist atheists -- I like to call them "fundy atheists" just to rile 'em up good -- are every bit as obnoxious as their religious counterparts.
