2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

1 Timothy 5 is a real strong advocation for handing over the money to the church in hopes of young dudes scoring some lady-chattel with no clear ownership. Don't muzzle the ox (Deuteronomy 25:4) of your sex drive, but also pay the elders who marry you crazy kids. Probably widely accepted what with disease and war, but hey, the church elders are workers too They're tellin' you what to do with somebody else's daughters whose husbands have died and whatnot and that takes divine tact. "I ain't tryna bang your girl, gimme some money and I'll get you and your young widow married straight up, good with God style." CHURCH. Gol Sarnitt (talk) 05:31, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
