There's been some discussion on this site recently regarding Hillsong Church and the concept of tithing. I thought this video, from last week's Chaser's War on Everything, might shed more light on the matter (found this on God is for Suckers; news travels fast). The war was great last week; not only did they take on Hillsong Church with this hilarious song, but also had a crack at new age stupidity. They set up a stall at some market in an attempt to find out just how obvious a bullshit artist you have to be before people will show some skepticism. They named their products gullible snake oil, candles made from pure bull, bollocks balls etc. The sales pitch included all the usual bullshit from woo pushers; positive energy, ancient wisdom, chakras, magical properties, science can’t explain… blah blah blah. Sadly, people still fell for it. Man, people are idiots. The real problem is ignorance; if people don't know anything, they'll be taken in by anything. Our education system is woefully inadequate; it should be completely and utterly impossible for someone to come out of secondary education and still be taken in by astrology (for example). Depressingly, this is not the case.
