The Lie of Tithing?

Found this link on the "lie of tithing".

This is a more detailed discussion on tithing than an earlier one that I found. It's a pretty long read, so prepare to have sore eyes after reading it.

Conclusion: Is tithing appropiate in the 21st Century? In Singapore, we see pastors of some churches (no names lol) living the high life in expensive homes and wearing thousand dollar suits. Are we driven by the "Law" to tithe 10% of our income or allowance, or do we give freely and cheerfully whatever we want to give. What is the point of tithing? To pay Church expenses? (Including the pastor's salary as well as the numerous church staff), or rather to support the homeless and hungry? If you had $100, would you give it to the church as part of your "duty" to tithe, or would you rather give it to a brother (or sister ;p) you know that has financial diffculties?
