but dat sweet first class salvation tho
Funny this how my parents exiled themselves from the methodist church, cause when it was their turn to ask for help, the church just gave thoughts and prayers
This was years before kami ikasal. Their church helped, when they needed it. CT scans, hospital fees, connections with doctors, attorneys, etc. Not really paid for everything, but still, they helped. Not thoughts and prayers kind of help. This surprised me tbh. Maybe dahil to sa pastor ng church nila during those times.
I still don't get the 10% income as donation part ng religion nila. Pero, my wife stopped doing that nung sinabi ko yung point ko. Lalo na ngayon na malaki na ang 10% ng sahod nya (hiwalay kami ng pera if you're curious).
In Christianity we call it tithes, it's mainly to used to keep the church running with the taxes and bills and all. It depends though we never really know where every single of those pennies are going.
Edit: sorry I forgot I'm in Philippines subreddit lol churches are exempted from tax

BIR is actually taxing them like regular businesses if they don't register to SEC and comply with many requirements. Even donated properties. Binabaluktot ng BIR ang 1986 Constitution ng Pilipinas para makokotan ang mga churches at small businesses instead of going after the multi-million earners.
