Well, at the risk of continuing this Christian bashing thread, I will respond.
I think tithing IS Biblically supported. I am not sure exactly which churches you have been attending that DEMAND a tithe. My church (United Methodist, although denomination doesn't really matter to me) has an offering every Sunday and does preach that tithing is Biblical. At no time, however, have they DEMANDED that I tithe. Nor have they ever DEMANDED 10% of my income, whether it be gross or net income.
Tithing is how the Christian supports his church. Through tithing and other donations, your pastor gets paid, the light bill for the church is paid, missions are accomplished, etc.
If the churches members do not support the church...who will?
