I don't want to put down Mitt Romney's Mormon faith

As a pauline christian, you are expected to give some of your money to the church. If you are following the acts of christ, you sell everything and give it all to the communal church. Not a lot of folks do that anymore, but it's right there in their scriptures.

Nobody actually really tracks the money as intrensely as you seem to believe, but hey, assume there's some mega conspiracy.

The title is 10%, or less, if that is what you can afford to give ("Widow's mite" ring a bell? If you re a christian who reads the bible, it should). A bishop interviews you, asks if you're current, and stamps away.... I did it, pretty much everybody in my church group did it, I'd say 100% of us got temple recommends, unless we were going to jail.

But keep speaking as if you know anything about it, apparently having never done it yourself. It's becoming quite amusing.
