If you don't have income because you don't work, then how can you give 10% of your income leh?  God didn't set the number, actually, but it was Abraham who gave a tenth of his crops as a gesture of gratitude. So the Israelites and Jews all followed that 10% Law lah!

It would be more believable, more sincere if from the onset, people like EDH harp on this line
That god did not ask for the 10%
It was his followers who devised this 10%
Then over the years, the followers of these followers keep asking for 10%
Until it’s like a religious disease
Because when each group of followers see how easy it is get other followers to tithe
And how easy it is to get rich
It will attract more followers to devise more and different ways to suck more gong followers to donate and get rich in this way
Of course the 10% is the base
The goal is suck out as much as possible from all who followed
So how the hell does god benefit from his followers accumulating these 10%s?
The fact this happens over 2000 years means either one of the two things
That god is weak and helpless to stop these followers who devise this 10% thingy
Or that all along, these followers just simply lie their way to get the following followers to pay the 10%
