Isn't religion the ultimate scam anyway? A 10% tax paid to an invisible man in the sky is pretty crazy. I don't mind paying tithing, though--it keeps people from being upset with me.

What? Invisible man ? You mean he has never showed up for expression of gratitude or something ? He must not have received the money then.
As a second thought ,he might not be pleased with people who pay for "visible men" pleasure rather than "invisible man" cause.

I promise I have never ever paid for visible men pleasure.
