Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"...so Belladonna was going to keep track of the drinking, but somebody from Tauros recognized her and they kind of got into a bit of a debate—"
"Ruby—"
"—which meant that the next thing anybody knew, Sunny and Snow were really hammered, and they started ranting about Snow's dad being a horrible person for disowning her—"
"Ruby."
"—and since you know, they kind of all are bishops, a few people listened, and they did try to stop the mob but—"
"Ruby Rose, I've read the news report." Sunset sighed. "But unfortunately, this is one of those situations where I shouldn't use my godly powers—"
"Oh I know, I was just wondering if I could ask you to help pay their bail—"
"—which, due to part of my income coming from tithes these days, counts as using my godly powers."
"... Oh."
"I'm also big on 'Let All My Sins Be Remembered' philosophy."
"... You're saying that they should atone for their crimes? That... they should earn forgiveness?"
"I'm saying... that forgiveness is a second chance, one they should be glad and willing to take, and that while I will not demand excommunication or anything like that, I shall also not allow them to forget when they stumbled, so that they will learn from their mistakes."
"Oh. That's a much better message."
"I've been getting practice in."
At some point in the not-to-distant future, Sunset will decide that if people are going to worship her, she might as well be worth worshipping. As much as anyone can be, anyway.
No word on whether her high-level clergy will ever learn to think before acting.

So… do those go through the church, or does Sunset have her own fund set up that people can donate to? Things get weird when the deity who's the theoretical recipient of those tithes is also a physical person.
7942813 One of the benefits with having a physically present god is that the separation of church and god is very obvious, and one can more easily direct funds to whichever of the two seems to be doing a good job. Sunset probably tried to avoid getting tithes until someone dug up her Paypal account from this one time she asked her friends to donate to some motorbike repairs, and at that point she just let it happen.
Or they've found out how to enchant money to teleport directly to her.
7942831 That is... disturbingly plausible considering the oversaturated world and how LOL is the Church of the Divine Bacon Horse
"It sounds better than: 'I'm going to let you two do your community service because you're two idiots and you had it coming.'"
7942813 Divine Patreon counts as tithes.
