If all that they say was true about tithing... Christians who tithe would be among the most wealthy and prosperous people on earth. But, if memory serves me correctly, a report a couple years back showed how those most dedicated to tithing are on average ranging middle class to poverty level. It seems that those who are most in need fall prey to this idea because they desire God to bless them and lift them out of poverty.
Everyone wants a quick fix blessing.
