Tucker Carlson · Tucker Left Shocked by Megachurch Scandal

1. 1. A megachurch youth group gave children a commitment slip asking them to tithe 10% from allowance, sell electronics, and give savings to the church.
2. 2. About 70% of church revenue goes to buildings and salaries, and less than six cents of every dollar leaves the institution for charitable purposes.
3. 3. The institutional church has been co-opted by capitalistic and political mechanisms, becoming like an MLM or franchise rather than a community pushing against power.
4. 4. Tithing is not scriptural for modern Christians; it was a form of taxation in the Old Testament theocracy, not a New Testament practice.
5. 5. The modern tithing doctrine was invented in the last few hundred years as a revenue stream, not based on biblical teaching.
