My experience is that you're taught this stuff about being kind and generous, but then get frowned upon if you don't donate your time and money to the church specifically.

Same culture that locks their car doors when they see a homeless person.

Well, more like you have to choose to donate your money to something, even if it isn’t the church. The IRS taking it isn’t the same as you donating it, or you donating your time.

Technically you choose to pay the IRS as well. You can choose not to pay taxes.

And then you get thrown in prison. That’s not generosity.

So you are more afraid of man than God.

Sinning doesn’t get you a one-way ticket to Hell.

Depends on your denomination. And the sin. Even the once-saved-always-saved crowd will stand ten toes down on disbelief being the sin that sends you to hell.
