I totally agree, and I do give 10% when I am a member of a church. To me, it is the coercion and making people feel bad that I dislike.I think tithing is wonderful.
Some denominations might be more prone to it, but it is more of a pastor thing and management issue than denominational. That said, I have not heard it in the Lutheran Church, whereas it is dominant in non-denom and similar as they tend to lean to prosperity doctrine theology, which is probably the pinnacle of tithe sermons, IMO.But I haven't heard the sermons in five different denominations (that includes United Methodist that my neighbor took me to when I was in high school). I heard that Assembly of God encourages tithing.
