Deuteronomy 26:12 New International Version (NIV)

12 When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied.

ungodly theft?

Well.. that tithe sure didn't go to the government.
