Because money donated to a church is expected to be used towards "good works" (feeding the poor, helping the homeless, etc.) as opposed to money stolen from a person who likely isn't that bad off, so the perception is that you're harming those who have already been kicked around by life.BathorysGraveland2 said:The thing that makes me most curious about this is not the guy wearing a fedora, or any of that childish rubbish, but that it seems that stealing from a church is somehow worse than anywhere else, or as they put it, "outrageous". I don't see why a church's money is more significant if stolen than money out of anyone's wallet or purse.
