 That's not bad advice--just depends on one's personal definition of giving 
the $$ to the Lord! If you subscribe to the theory that 'there is no God but 
man,' then Rev. Pat was telling him to take 10% and stick it in the bank, or 
under the mattress, or bury it in the yard, or..you know! IOW, the guy's 
question was answered plainly, he was probably just too befuddled to realize 
it!
        My late great friend, mentor, and bro, Lone Wolf Tim, once explained 
'tithing' to me in clear terms: cash your paycheck. Stand in your living 
room. Throw all the money up in the air. If God wants any of it, he'll grab 
it. That's the tithe. The rest is yours to keep. Works for me!  ;>
