I'm thinking of taking money from the collection plate at a Catholic Church.
Do you know that means you are stealing from them?
Millions of dollars are collected at that place in one day. It has money to spare.
It's wrong to steal money that people have donated to a church. Instead, you should talk to the church about your needs and find out if there are any programs that they have to help people in need.
I'm not so sure that they have nothing extra coming in. Plus I don't have time to fill out a form just to get charity.
You should find a different way to get the money that you need then. It is never okay to steal from the church.
