Equating buying pants/your neighborhood with deliberately joining Fundie Baptist church as an adult is gonzo.  There are limits to tolerance, you know.  Jules Bailey believes in female submission, that gay sex is sinful and that Pastor McKinley talks to a sky god.  And, Bailey doesn't have the guts to affirm the church's doctrine or explain why he doesn't attend a less bigoted denomination.
Bailey tithes to a bigoted church because he supports their fundie Baptist message.  Giving money for an obnoxious golf shirt is not "tithing".
