To me... it comes across as a convenience fee.

God would have to answer why since it is per his instructions. I wish we knew why God instructed them to do this but, as far as I know, he never explains why.

You're a good teacher even if we don't agree politically.

We don't agree politically... but we're pretty tight on the rest of it.

Just thinking...does the word "LEVY" come from levi (which would relate to those who received mandatory tithes?)

It's an interesting thought. I did see one person's name Levi also spelled Levy, but the source didn't go further with that. I didn't see anything alluding to that in Oxford's online word origin source.
