Pastor Creflo firmly believes in tithing. In fact, he is so insistent on his church getting 10% of every member's income, that if he had his way, he would shoot and kill the “crooks” who have not given to Creflo's church. Here are his thoughts on that matter, in his own words, from a sermon he gave to his congregation:

“I thought about when we first built “the Dome,” (his large megachurch) I wanted to put some of those little moving bars and give everybody a little card. They’d stick it in a little computer slot. If they were tithing, beautiful music would go off and, you know, ‘Welcome, welcome, welcome to the World Dome.

But ... if they were nontithers, the bar would lock up, the red and blue lights would start going, the siren would go off, and a voice would go out throughout the entire dome, “Crook, crook,crook,crook!”

Security would go and apprehend them, and once we got them all together, we’d line them up in the front and pass out Uzis by the ushers and point our Uzis right at all those non-tithing members ’cause we want God to come to church, and at the count of three Jesuses , WE WOULD SHOOT THEM ALL DEAD!

And then we’d take them out the side door there, have a big hole, bury them and then go ahead and have church and have the anointing “
