anything other than a lot of Clemson students attend New Spring?
Dabo took the team to Redemption World Outreach in Greenville for the church service they offer. A lot of people choose to go to New Spring, but they don't have to. It's just the fad at Clemson among students and athletes. I'm sure partly because Dabo attends there.

I know that most of this is supported by Atheist so I will attempt to be careful in the words that I choose. My intention is not to offend anyone. However, I would like to point out that 99.99999% of all Modern Day Churches are a complete heretical practice. They preach Grace, Mercy, Freedom from Religious Law, and then speak out of the other side of their mouths by enforcing the Old Testament Laws and Mosaic Law. Tithing is LAW... In the New Testament the Apostle Paul erected the first 7 Churches. He did not highlight his focus to be on law. Only the spreading of the Gospels of Yeshua Bin Yousef or Jesus as some may refer to him. His name in English is actually Joshua. Weird, but that isn't important. What is important is what came next. At the time of the creation of the first 7 churches, the Apostle Paul had collected about 58 different Gospels on the man we know as Yeshua Bin Yousef. who was a 1st Century Rabbi out of Nazareth. What would happen in 325 A.D would grossly violate the integrity and the instructions that the Apostle Paul left behind for the Church. After Paul's crucifixion by the Romans there was in insurrection lead by the Christian insurgency in the Roman Empire for well over a Century. Emperor Constantine felt threatened by this insurgency and feared that it would collapse his Empire through division. So he summoned 318 Christian Leaders and formed the 1st Council of Nicaea. The Emperor had a direct influence on what Gospels would be allowed in the Christian Bible. Out of 58 Gospels, only 4 were allowed by the Emperor. The bad news is that Constantine wasn't even a Christian. He believed in Pagan gods and practiced the ceremonial orgies of Ishtar. What we Christians refer today as Easter. Then came the King James translations. King James was not a Christian either. In fact he was a tyrant to his own people and a conqueror of other Kingdoms. He was intrigued by the Bible and how much attention it had gained by his own people. He envisioned a way for himself to use it as a way to control his kingdoms. He accented several text to place emphasis on certain passages in the Gospels to twist the meanings. This is the beginning of what you see now. Jesus did not create nor support a religion and neither did Paul. Paul in the Book of Corinthians did not teach nor collect a tithe. He encouraged willful giving to the poor and needy. I could go on and on about the heresy that Christians call church today, but just to correct Pastor Nobel on his bogus sermon I thought I would share this. For this very reason, I have not attended church at all in the past 9 years. Instead, I have began to educate myself on matters pertaining to Religion, Science, and History. I have come to several conclusions about many things, but one thing is for certain, GOD DOESN'T COMMAND A TITHE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Tell me, how many churches you been to?

Bet it's less than 5.
But you speak as if you've been to hundreds or even thousands.
You are a real jerk to lump all into one nice group...

So we just forget the the old and only go with the new? riiiiiight...... The main reason why Christianity has become so watered down is due to the fact that "Christians" seem to pick an choose what they wanna folllow in the Bible. Ya know..... All the happy stuff is what they want. I'm not perfect. We're not meant to be, but for some reason the world thinks we are. As soon as one has a moment of weakness/in a valley of life....... BOOM!!!!! THOSE CHRISTIANS ARE FRAUDS AND HYPOCRITES!!!......... I have been tithing faithfully for the last 8 years. My wife,and I have school debt as well as credit cards. 10% of the total income goes to God every week and he still provides abundantly....... Three kids to care for too. The few time where we slipped up..... YIKES!!!

Not saying this guy is or isn't shifty....but
There are some preachers on tv with a suit and a tie and a vest. They want you to send your money to The Lord but they give you their address. Cause all of your donations are completely tax free. God bless you all but most of all send your money...
That said, I believe most church's do the lords work and they are better suited to take care of the needy than the government..... In fact, they did all of the welfare until politicians found out they could get voters through welfare. Now less monies go to the church
