FWIW the 'money machine' seems smarmy to me. Inhuman.
OTOH my wife and I give reg thru the Church, she was the lead on that but I've seen where the money can really do good things for folks that are in need and we get a financial statement every year showing what goes where.
It isn't my nature, I've been close with the dough all of my life but I've found that the more we give has never made a dif in our lifestyle, there always seems to be more than we need. How that works, well, who knows huh.
Churches can be vetted in much the same way charitible org can so if you decide to give do the same checking.
I've always been proud that Americans are generous people.
