Where a man's treasure is there his heart will be. Arguing that we are all ministers (which I agree with) means that the tithe should not pay the pastor and staff and other employees is ridiculous.
Again there abuses for sure, but it doesn't negate the practice.

I have tithed faithfully since I got into church and was taught to do so. I do to this day, even though I think it is a terrible doctrine, because I understand the church needs money to pay the bills and that if I want a full time Pastor it is my responsibility to help pay for him to live. So you are incorrect in your assertion. I argue very hard against the lie of tithing and yet I always give more than 10% away to church and those I know who are in need.
