Money and God's Viewpoint (according to various religious thoughts)

There was a protestant, catholic, Jewish, FFWPU 'priests' at an inter religious conference sharing lunch. During the course of the meal the topic of money / tithing came up. The question floated was one about what they as the 'priest / rabbi / leader' get from the 'offering'. The responses where in the order as follows,
The protestant priest / pastor stated that he draws a circle around him only one foot round, says a prayer over the collected offering, and then tosses into the air. What lands inside the circle is for his personal use.
The catholic priest says he does the same thing but his circle is THREE feet across as there is three in the God head (trinity).
The Jewish rabbi says he does not draw a circle, but he does say the prayer and tosses the collection up, and what ever God needs he will keep.
The FFWPU leader just looks at them and says 'why make it so complicated'.
He goes on to explain that, He takes the money and if anyone asks about it HE tells them to ask God about it, but do NOT ask him as it shows a lack of faith and understanding.
