    Because it’s a tradition from the old testament that some (by no means all) churches use. It’s nowhere near as universal as your own anecdotal references seem to imply.

        Maybe try researching church finances instead of going by the assumption that they’re greedy because they’re asking for money and look like your enemy.

        EDIT: Sorry, I forgot it’s a not-good to ask someone to do research without demonstrating my own. Unfortunately, I have other things I should be doing than research right now.
