Actually I was thinking of using Kool-aid and non-poisonous snakes just to prove the point that Christians don't really believe their own bible. But there could be a suicidal, mentally ill person who actually is so delusional as to actually believe the bible. When this person dies, the RRS would be sued but not the pastors that told him the bible was the inerrent word of God.
When the pastors need more money(always), they love to throw this verse out:
Malachi 3:10 (New International Version)10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
And they say test the Lord and see if he blesses your life when you give 10% or more to our church. But will they give us any objective scientific proof? I am not holding my breath waiting.
Let's not forget the two verses prior
8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me.
