Some argue tithing can still be sincere
![“[Altruism] is a moral system which holds that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the sole justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, value and virtue. This is the moral base of collectivism, of all dictatorships.” quote by Ayn Rand](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f16/ayn-rand-59_altruism_altruism-is-a-moral-system-which-holds-t_311034.jpg)
