   I would rather donate my money to charity than give it to a church.

   about 20% of income
   Half is used for variety of church expenses and the other half directly to the church welfare program that helps those in financial need.
   I can’t do better with the money than what the Lord’s church can do with it, so no.
   I have a feeling when Romney releases his tax records you will see that he probably donated around 30% of his income to the church. It is just a normal thing for devout Mormons to do. So is giving hours and hours of time in service and for a Bishop or Stake President, that is usually 20-30 hours a week in unpaid service on top of your secular job and Romney did these callings for over 14 years (that would be tens of thousands of service hours). It is so ingrained in the LDS culture and life growing up LDS that you forget it is not normal. This is probably why he seems a bit shocked at the accusations that he is a greedy or selfish person. When you literally donate your entire lifestyle to a world centered in service, you get a little surprised when people call you greedy or selfish.
   It would be humorous to see people’s reaction to Romney’s lifestyle since it is so foreign to most, if it werent so sad that more people dont understand it and are so suspicious of people that live it.

   The catholic church doesn’t pay taxes and has an income of over $15000 billion a year. I don’t think they need my money.
