I personally say no since charity starts at home and if your filing bankruptcy that means you don’t basically have the finances for anything extra such as 10 percent tithing. What do the rest of your think?
~FYI~ Senator Orin Hatch of Utah and Baraq Obama are in favor of this bill
So it is alright to default paying others their money but it is alright to keep giving money to whatever church you happen to belong to, interesting—-

Washington – Congress has passed legislation co-sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, that would allow a person to contribute to charity or pay religious tithing during the course of a consumer bankruptcy. The bill, also sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., passed the House on Wednesday; the Senate approved the measure in September. "Congress has a long history of protecting our religious freedom to tithe," Hatch said in a statement. "That was our intent when we enacted bankruptcy reform last year, and this bill clarifies the law so that those who tithe can continue to live their faith while in bankruptcy." A ruling by a New York bankruptcy court earlier this year prompted the legislation. The judge ordered that an upper-income couple filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy could not pay tithing to a church until all creditors were paid first.
