Are there more gratifying ways of parting with savings other than tithing? The incredible shrinking G-d, who once caused the universe to be by a flicker of her thought. Then came the publicity stunts,flood, plagues, fishes and loaves, and nailing of the carpenter to the sturdy beams. None of it worked then and none of it works now. Lord shrunk to the point that he must be protected by law for anyone (but the most gullible) to pay remote attention to his promises and threats.
