    Interesting how you only "give" what you don't have any choice handing over but say nothing whatsoever about contributing to charities or doing anything outside of paying taxes. And I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that you're one of those who gets back more than you put in (receiving the "Earned" Income Tax credit -- EIC) so of course you are "happy to do so."

    And if not, you do realize that you can send even more money to the government than what you are required to do. Funny how those who claim that they are "happy" to pay taxes never seem to do this.

      Nobody should reveal their charitable giving. Jesus was clear that it is to be secret. Thus I feel asking is out of bounds.

        I don't publicly reveal what I give. I even send money orders so that it is anonymous. But there is nothing wrong about saying that you do give to charities. And I don't think jimmy cares what Christ says about giving to charities.

        ETA: And since I give anonymously I also have never claimed a tax deduction for any contributions. The only reason that I'm even saying any of this here is that almost nobody (only two or three people even know my real first name) here has any idea of who I am.

          Jimmy isn't Christian. and he doesn't give to charity. He's a hypocrite. He claims to be an advocate for the underprivileged and poor, yet he only pays taxes all the while complaining about us Christians who do give to charity.

            Thats correct, jesus or not, and I wish people would stop boasting about how personally generous they are as an argument against their tax dollars going to help the needy.

              You have no idea what you're talking about Sparko, so stop making up lies in order to make yourself feel superior.

                        So you decided to join in on the lying game I see, OBP. What is it with you christians here on tweb, are you all just inveterate liars and hypocrites?

                          So you can't say what I lied about then?

                            You have to actually specifiy what you are claiming someone is lying about JimL not just make a vague accusation. And you have to substantiate that they are lying. Accusations of lying without substantiation is against our rules.

                              Jim, accusing somebody of being a liar without substantiating the claim is a serious offense. So, which part(s) of Sparko's statement are you calling (a) lie(s) ?
                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                                I don't think that's as ironclad as some people think, after all, there's "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven". (matt 5:16)
                                But I think this is worth discussing, so how bout making your best case for "nobody should"?
