Become an atheist! No need to tithe you know. ;) :D
Of course, this doesn't really matter if you don't HAVE any money... :-/ :(
is 11% the typical offering? wow thats a lot o dough!
Well, you're "required" in most of the religions to tithe which means to give 10% of what you make to the Church. If you don't give that, then you'll be essentially making 11.11%, right? 8-)
(Remember the math works differently going up or down. If you receive 25% of what you have, for example, it becomes 20% of your new total.)
Let's set up a religion at a more competitive rate of say 8%.
In return they receive the noodley appendage and a guaranteed place in the Pastafari heaven with eternal access to beer and strippers.
The flock will flock to us and we make millions. :)
Good idea! We'll need to come up with some fantastic, yet unproveable stories too - that could be fun! Wow, all that and we could be tax-exempt as well! ;)
Instead of wine we could serve beer. :D
I think the details should be worked out at the next Watering Hole gathering. I'm sure there will be beer, etc. We'll have good music played by us, live, and we can talk shit and make up stuff after say, 11:00 pm.
We need a fear factor. That could require at least a 12 pack. Maybe if you refuse, your arms will rot off and you'll no longer be able to play music and have to drink beer from a straw.
I think we should have a registration fee of at least $100 per person, up front. Maybe add a case of beer to that and a amp of the head guys choosing.
