Your pastor is a pious jerk.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Ted Cruz has been exposed as a phony.
His bad acting should have been a clue.

[trebb]

Ask me if I care one way or the other.

That's right - he's Ted Cruz, ayup (that's a Canadian joke...), by God and he can still present as the Christian Champion whether he does what his target audience values or not.

I don't tithe but I do give my church money because, like FR, if one expects someone else to foot the bill, one doesn't really have conservative values....

Ted Cruz Faces Questions About His Tithing History

Evangelicals and political opponents want to know why Cruz gave less than 1% of his income to charity between 2006 and 2010. “It’s hard to say God is first in your life if he’s last in your budget,” Huckabee tells BuzzFeed News.

According to personal tax returns released during his 2012 Senate bid, Cruz contributed less than 1% of his income to charity between 2006 and 2010 — a far cry from the 10% most evangelical leaders believe the Bible demands.

Well you got the author right....

[kdot]

You do know that some people tithe and/or make charitable donations without expecting TAX CREDIT for them? Right?

[grania]

Cruz is passing himself as the ultimate fundamental Christian. Isn’t part of their religion an expectation to tithe?

It matters since Lyin' Ted proclaims he's such a good Christian - an obvious lie and just another example of how phony Lyin' Ted is in real life.

I do believing in giving tithe, but as a strong Trump supporter I will cut Cruz a break. We don’t list what we give to our church on taxes. Maybe he does not either. We just give without expectation of benefit. We do list donations to other charities.

[Vendome]

I heard he doesn’t look both ways when crossing the street.

[Dead Corpse]

NEITHER DO I. OMG I’M SUCH A HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING...

Despite all the volunteer hours I put in instead with various local groups...

[kosciusko51]

There is an implicit assumption that Cruz reported all of his charitable donations. While that is a reasonable assumption, I do know there are some out there that do not report all or any of their charitable donations.
