I like what I heard a preacher say once, "You're a big boy, you're a big girl. I don't have to tell you everything you can and cannot do, everything you can and cannot watch."

The "needy saint" would no doubt
welcome such software on their computers.
Paying tithes on house and car purchases?? What is the logic behind that? You pay on your income and then pay again when you buy something? Isn't this a bit like Clinton's "Value Added Tax" that he unsuccessfully pushed at one time?
