re: #63 Daniel Ballard

There are Mormons who do not tithe, or at a far less level. They remain Mormons in any case.

I’m not going to debate the meaning of “charity” per se, but when folks give money away, I tend to look at where that money actually ends up rather than the act itself of giving.

The Mormon Church, in my eyes, does not have a great reputation for actually spending money in ways that make people (especially the less fortunate and marginalized of society) better off. Thus, the fact that the Romneys have squillions of dollars lying around that they can shovel over to the Church, without impinging upon their horse-dancing activities, does not really raise my opinion of them.
