Mr. Twitchell manages to reduce this profound idea to the dictates of basic consumer theory. Sacrifice, he says–not least, tithing–signifies value. The more you sacrifice, the more you visibly value the product for which you are giving something up, and the more you show other people that you value it, too. “Why do true believers sometimes puncture themselves, walk on their knees until they bleed, fast until they are skeletal or join a monastery and go mum?” Mr. Twitchell asks. “Brand allegiance.”
This is obviously someone who knows as much about religion as Hillary Clinton knows about life in Omaha.

On the other hand, I’ve read studies that explained that the reason they sell the nets is because when they give them away for free the recipients conclude that they aren’t worth anything and throw them away without using them, while those that they pay money for are seen as valuable and used.

Of course, college and university administrators insist they aren’t actually using quotas when in fact they are, as O’Connor’s decisive opinion in 2003 invited them to do. The result is that one indispensable requirement for being a college or university administrator is intellectual dishonesty. You have to be willing to lie about what you consider one of your most important duties. So much for open inquiry and intellectual rigor.

With no family members to encourage gifts to the original donor’s favorite causes, the banks and lawyers have wide latitude to remake the way the trusts operate and to decide which charities will receive grants. Banks can reduce gifts and grow the foundation’s assets, thus increasing their fees. At the same time, banks and lawyers stand to gain personal influence and prestige by selecting new charities.
Rather like gifts to universities. Or government in the hands of Democrats.
