In 1889, Tit-Bits magazine offered a prize to the spinster who could provide the best answer to the question: Why are you still single? The results proved far too hilariously on point for the magazine to choose just a single winner. Instead, they published their favorites and gave each winner five shillings – the equivalent of about $26 today.

Spending time over at r/atheism for a welcomed break from religiosity.. Recommend the recent thread written by an Islamic woman yesterday. I’m a woman who studied Islam in school for 12 years and this is how Islam is really treating women I’m a woman who studied Islam in school for 12 years and this is how Islam is really treating women I was born in a very Islamic conservative country and its education system requires you to learn 4 religious subjects (quran, hadiths, fiqh, tawhid) per term and 2 other religious subjects(tafseer and tajweed) once per school. I basically studied Islam for 12 years and learned all of its sides. I wanted to write this post because I got tired of all these fake apologists trying to deny our struggles and justify their unfair religion. A woman body is Awra (awra means something forbidden to look at in Islam and in Arabic it means a flaw or demerit) so she is forced to cover up. Women’s voices are considered awra which means no man (other than her family and uncles) should hear it unnecessarily. The wife cannot leave her house without her husband’s agreement. If a man smelled a woman’s perfume she is as guilty as a zaniah (woman who had premarital sex). In a Sahih Hadith Mohammad said that women are the majority of the people whom are going to hell. In another Sahih Hadith Mohammad said that women are incomplete in both religion and mind. Beating wives is allowed in Islam if they’re not “obeying” their husbands. A woman obeying her husband is a part (or way) of obeying Allah. Obeying husband is considered more important than obeying her parents in Islam. A woman can’t divorce her husband but he can divorce her even if he doesn’t have a vaild reason. A woman cannot object against her husband marrying another wife. A man should give an amount of money to his future wife which is considered a justification for all the inequality above (seems like buying a slave me thinks). Women in Islam can’t lead people. There is a Sahih Hadiths that says: a nation would never succeed if a woman led them. A woman cannot have custody of her kids if she married another man. marital rape is allowed. If a woman refused to have sex with her husband the angels will curse her until the sun goes up. Men can marry kids literally but can’t have sex with them before they got their period. Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6 years and had sex with her when she was 9. Women inheritance is half their brothers’. Women testimony is half men’s testimony. Women can’t be judges. Woman’s kids cannot have her surname Women cannot marry non-muslim men, however men can marry non-muslim women. There is a Sahih hadith that says: women come in devil shape and go in devil shape. Its explanation is women seems like devils because they’re “seductive” to men so they shouldn’t walk between men unless it’s necessary. (Victim blaming at its finest) Men will have plenty of virgin good looking women in Heaven. Women will have none, instead they will have their husbands in heaven.

As part of the proposed plan, the Sackler family would agree to pay an additional US$4.2 billion over the next nine years to resolve various civil claims. However, this would amount to a "legal firewall" that would protect the Sackler family, such as making them immune from criminal prosecutions. It was thus opposed by 24 state attorneys general as well as the attorney general for Washington, D.C.

She attended church twice when we were trying to decide whether to raise her with religion (we decided against it). She's been at synagogue a few times, attending friends' bat mitzvahs, but those friends don't believe in God either.

They are less diverse when it comes to religion: Except for one girl, who's an Evangelical Christian, religion is not important to these kids. [link to psmag.com (secure)] Atheism Doubles Among Generation Z It may come as no surprise that the influence of Christianity in the United States is waning. Rates of church attendance, religious affiliation, belief in God, prayer and Bible-reading have been dropping for decades. Americans’ beliefs are becoming more post-Christian and, concurrently, religious identity is changing. Enter Generation Z: Born between 1999 and 2015, they are the first truly “post-Christian” generation. More than any other generation before them, Gen Z does not assert a religious identity. They might be drawn to things spiritual, but with a vastly different starting point from previous generations, many of whom received a basic education on the Bible and Christianity. And it shows: The percentage of Gen Z that identifies as atheist is double that of the U.S. adult population.
