Very true but the person you responded to talked about being forced to give, rather than choosing to either give or not of their own free will. Also, doesn't it seem likely (by the mention of death by 1000 cuts) that Matthew 23:4-28 could describe the situation?
e.g., the dad could have significantly eased the burden by giving the son the money to then hand over to the church, although ofc none of us will ever know what was going on inside the dude's head.
