This is priceless – and yet very, very scary. I think someone above said something like ‘if 5% of americans belive this…’, i get the distinct impression that its nearer 25% (including those who are uneducated enough to learn via a miosis of bigoted, fundamentalist thoughts). Can we all pool our collective objective and ‘liberal’ minds together to set up “anythinggoes.org” and see how riled we can get these poor misguided fools?

Also may i just flag up the Dinosaur entry – namely

“There are a number of lines of evidence that point to dinosaurs and man co-existing… explorers have reported seeing a live dinosaur” – and “Fossils: The preserved remains of once-living organisms.”

Thank goodness, and what a relief. I grew up being told by my conservative-christian friends that dinosaur remains and fossils were merely put on earth by God to test us. At the very least i can sleep a little easier at night in the knowledge that he isnt a trickster God. Phew.

That website is simple bullshit. If Conservapedia was the primary source of information in today’s world, we’d have a generation of kids that won’t know what sex is. That generation would probably die out due to lack of procreation.

Ya know, the young-earth creationist moron faction does not quite cover all conservatives. No more than Shining Path Maoists should be accepted as examples of “liberals.” These folks are an embarrassment to any faction they adhere to.

Most Conservatives deeply resent these fools using their label. Even most Christians view them as nutters. al-Christa, if you ask me.

Here’s the current entry on Sex:

This page has been deleted, and protected to prevent re-creation

No page. Sex doesn’t exist at all so far as conservapedia is concerned. Try as they may, I doubt they can prevent sexual recreation. Head in the sand may be their only form of protection.

On other news, love doesn’t exist either.

Btw, has anyone wondered why exactly mainstream Western religion posits that the universe is ~10,000 years old?

I think this has to do with the fact that 10,000 years ago the Ice Age ended. After that period there was a population explosion, rise of civilizations etc. The stories about life in the Ice Age would not be relevant to the people anymore and would not be transferred to the next generation.

When people thousands of years later try to reconstruct history based on known stories, then that reconstructed history starts about 10,000 years ago.

The entry on France is worth the price of admission alone – that of course being absolutely squat. I was expecting screeds on hyperliberalism and defeatism in the War on Terror, and I get this.

http://www.conservapedia.com/France

“A country in Europe. Thrived during the middle ages. The capitol is Paris, France, which was founded in the Middle Ages.”

I’m going to close that site now before I die of LOL and fail my thesis.

I’m really bummed that you cannot create an account. Their friggin’ documentation still tells you how to do it. Reminds me of the Southern Baptist Convention web site, immediately after Lonnie Latham (pastor of Southern Tulsa Baptist Church and executive of the organization) was arrested trying to give a blowjob to a cop – their site had blank spots where they had yanked his name, photo and credentials, but left the frames. Very funny.

Hey – why isn’t there a page for “Lonnie Latham” on conservapedia? There certainly is one on wikipedia. And I, for one, am DISGUSTED at the liberal slant facts have, as reported by Stephen Colbert.

[...] At the time of this posting, the site is down. I blame Daily Kos/terrorists. Anyway, since bloggers are having a field day with this (which probably explains why the site, which I presume to be hosted on a mediocre PC in a basement somewhere), it’s still pretty simple to get a feel for the site. Everyone’s talking about the entries for Harry Potter (Conservapedia hints that Rowling promotes paganism), but I think the entry for the musical Anything Goes is my favorite: “Anything Goes” is the title of a 1934 musical production written by Cole Porter. Popular songs from the musical include “You’re the Top,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” and “Anything Goes.” [...]

Jesus is his nephew?? So, was this god dude having sex
with his sister-in-law? I’m confused.

Seems to me the only reason the nutters take the bible
as an authoritative text is that it has been in print.
All stories passed by word of mouth from generation
to generation are clearly only ‘myths’.

As for Pearl Harbour, facts known to the Japanese for 120 years have recently entered the popular press that
the US (and other European) navies used to sit off
Japanese cities and shell civilians and houses until
christian missionaries were allowed entry by the Shogun.

“Give me christianity or give me death” Right?
