Of money and faith

Why does Faith need money?


I have yet to see a faith that does not ask for your money. When your spouse has sex with you does he/she ask for money? Asking for money in religion is prostituting it.Tithes, Daanam, whatever ! And we hear all sort of humbug, spirit of sacrifice, putting God first and who uses that money- a group of humans; what decides the fate or use of that money- humans again!
Granted some of it goes for charity, some of it even for private jets, and some for spreading the superstition of divine punishment.

Hear preachers confidently saying God wants you to do this or not do this as if they are his private secretary and you cannot but wonder how much of organized religion is a marriage of  convenience between  spiritualism the venal needs of the corporate!
