@NickGates Yeah, I get that. Progressive churches tend to attract financially stable people; not having to work on Sunday morning is a big thing. And the generational thing ... I ran the numbers to see if donations would hold up til I retired, and the serious money came from the first half of the baby boom and older. Second half of the baby boom and everyone younger gave substantially less - they don't have nearly as much to give.

@NickGates I don't see why this is automatically a bad thing, and I'm kind of stunned by the reactions you've received.
If more people gave 10% of their income to things they truly believed in, the world would be a better place. Some of us who grew up in religious traditions with tithing still aim for this in our charitable giving. I also know someone who looks at how much of his taxes go to the military and tries to give a comparable amount to charity.

@NickGates
I just figure all those people are not taking up space in the places I can get good food.

Nope! The very last episode is probably the worst in this regard, besides being just generally terrible.
