Conservapedia.

[Miserabilia]

jesus shit what a depressing website "conservapedia" is.

Let me begin by saying it is in fact not satire. I used to think this. I thought, how could anyone take it seirously.
But no.
This website actualy exists. (http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page)

Hm let's see. Here's a small hand of the articles related to atheism.

-Atheism (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism)
-Atheism and obesity
-Atheism and communism
-Atheism and women (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_women)
-Atheism and arrogance
-Atheism and morality (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_morality)
-Atheism and Mass Murder (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_Mass_Murder)
-Atheism and child pornography (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_child_pornography)
-Atheism and bestiality (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_bestiality)
-Atheism and irrationality (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_irrationality)
- Irrelegion and domestic violence (http://www.conservapedia.com/Irreligion_and_domestic_violence)
- Atheism and anger (http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism_and_anger)

Thank you, "the trustworthy wikipedia", for giving me this objective information.
Ofcourse ,there's absolutely nothing hilarious about the fact that about 50% of it's articles are "atheism and" followed by anything bad that exists in the world.

Now, let's have a look at articles related to christianity , shall we.
-
Christianity (http://www.conservapedia.com/Christianity)
-oh
- oh wait that's it actualy
- wow that's strange, there are hunderds of pages about atheism but only one about christianity?

Well, let's scan through this page real quick.


What's a subject on the christianity page?

"Christian beliefs are well supported via a large body of compelling evidence. "
:lol: Let's have a look shall we?
That sentence links us too...
Oh, ofcourse; the page on christian apologetics. (http://www.conservapedia.com/Christian_apologetics)

This is only the outter and least disgusting layer of utter dusgusting vile abommanation that is this "trustworthy" website.

What do you think of a website like "conservapedia"? Do you aggree with their statements of being superior to wikipedia, being a non-editable "guidebook" for conservatives? More importantly, how do you feel about this being an approved way of teaching for the homeschooled??

[Horatio Nelson]

That is hilarious, holy fuck.

I can just imagine a bunch of angry white people writing these articles. I honestly don't believe that people take this seriously. In the section "secularized language" they say "crackpot" is the "secularized" version of "heretic"

This whole page is a laugh, read it: http://www.conservapedia.com/Mystery:Does_God_Have_a_Sense_of_Humor%3F

In 2007, "Discovery Institute (http://www.conservapedia.com/Discovery_Institute)'s Center for Science and Culture...announced that over 700 scientists from around the world have now signed a statement expressing their skepticism about the contemporary theory of Darwinian (http://www.conservapedia.com/Charles_Darwin) evolution."[4] (http://www.conservapedia.com/Evolution#cite_note-3)700

Guys, spread the news. 700 scientists, from around the world, have found the truth!

http://www.esreality.com/files/placeimages/2014/100747-Jesus%20Facepalm.jpg

Well, at least it's honest.

In addition to the evolutionary position lacking evidential support and being counterevidential, the great intellectuals in history such as Archimedes (http://www.conservapedia.com/Archimedes), Aristotle (http://www.conservapedia.com/Aristotle), St. Augustine (http://www.conservapedia.com/St._Augustine), Francis Bacon (http://www.conservapedia.com/Francis_Bacon), Isaac Newton (http://www.conservapedia.com/Isaac_Newton), and Lord Kelvin (http://www.conservapedia.com/Lord_Kelvin) did not propose an evolutionary process for a species to transform into a more complex version. My father has a PhD in physics, but he doesn't know batshit about biology. Ergo, biology's bs. Ah yes... argument from authority.

Macroevolution has never happened and the earth is approximately 6,000 years old (http://www.conservapedia.com/Young_earth_creationism) and not billions of years old. Some prominent modern biologists have made a distinction between microevolution and macroevolution [..]

The term macroevolution is often hated by ill-informed, militant, internet evolutionists (especially evolutionist poseurs who knew that evolution is lie and an ill attempted escape from biblical authority) because they are unable to demonstrate that macroevolution occurred and they also unable to satisfactorily answer the reasonable objections/questions posed to them by biblical creationists and intelligent design (http://www.conservapedia.com/Intelligent_design) theorists nah, the Earth is only 2014 years old.

that was basicly my reaction, I mean, it was actualy hard making this thread. :lol:

Unfortunately we don't have a mind altering program. I guess those people force their beliefs on children meaning that they'll grow up in ignorance too.

[Gamma Male]

Oh, that's not even the worst of it.

The guy who started this website is the same man who once started a huge bible editing project in an attempt to remove the "liberal bias" from the modern day bible. I shit you not.

"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

That famous line, attributed to Jesus in Luke 23:34, could well apply to the folks at Conservapedia -- the "conservative version" of Wikipedia -- who have embarked on a project to rewrite the Bible.

In an effort to rid the Good Book of "liberal bias," the group has set up the Conservative Bible Project, which aims to rewrite the Bible from a modern, conservative perspective.

"Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations," the*project's Web site*asserts.

And the line quoted above is one of the group's targets for deletion in a truly "conservative" Bible. The "forgive them father" quote "is a favorite of liberals but should not appear in a conservative Bible," Conservapedia states.

And evidently many of Jesus' other teachings -- from the "turn the other cheek" lesson, to his disdain for profiteering -- will also no longer be acceptable in the conservative Bible.

"Socialistic terminology permeates English translations of the Bible, without justification," the Web site states -- a strange assertion, given that English versions of the Bible date back at least to the 16th century, while socialism as a concept was formed in the 18th century.

To combat the Bible's "socialism," the Conservative Bible Project wants to see Biblical use of the words "comrade," "labor" and "fellow" (as in "fellow worker") reduced.

Even other conservatives think this guy is fucking crazy.

[TheN3rdyOutcast]

I tried to read the article on homosexuality.

Aaaaaarrrrrgh!!! At the stupidity.

[Karkat]

I'd go and read it for shits n giggles, but I've already been subjected to this load of mental anthrax today. (http://www.returnofkings.com/45334/5-reasons-why-girls-with-tattoos-andor-piercings-are-broken)

My thoughts, condensed for the sake of brevity: Shit's cray. People can be fucking lunatics.

Tool University. I bet he got a doctorate in being an arrogant, self-absorbed asshole too- that's some pretty top of the line material in that article there.

[ImCoolBeans]

Wow that site is quite something. I'm all for everybody having their own opinions, but once you start becoming that ignorant or closed minded I just start shaking my head.

[CosmicNoodle]

Everyone is allowed an opinion, but often that opinion is wrong....this is one of those times.

This is just a website designed to stroke the dicks of the conservative, Christian, republicans. Telling them what they want to hear in a fashion they can pass off as fact, as to bainwash there children into being as close minded and idiotic as they are.

It's a shame. There are kids out there who use this website as study program..

[Karkat]

That article. That entire website. why

I know, right? I just kind of saw that website and went "I can't believe that women are out there with low enough standards to sleep with this guy."

I'm nearly inclined to think that he's lying. Or rich. Maybe that's it.

Pedias and wikis are hardly noteworthy. I am a Christian Conservative, my whole family is conservative. Those sites are nothing of the sort.

That was actually a lighthearted joke but OK, take it how ever you want, I don't realy care. I just wish tone of voice where convayed in font.

[World Eater]

If you hate Conservapedia, you'll love RationalWiki (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page). And/or vice versa. I was actually very tempted to put some pages from both of these sites at somepoint to discuss the differences but I was lazy, so nyah.

But yes, Conservapedia is a...mindblowing site. I don't understand how people can buy into their crap, but whatever. I just tend to ignore it...or read the articles to remind myself that there are people more insane than I am.

Rationalwiki... Atleast I can read that without getting a headache.
I like how a page on rationalwiki immmediatly shows obective data supporting a claim, whereas conservapedia immedaitly goes "ALL ATHEIST ARE NAZI'S"
:lol:

I don't see we'd even *need* a rationalwiki; wikipedia should be rational enough, shouldn't it?

Neoliberalism is a new form of the old economic liberalism laid out in Adam Smith's famous capitalist manifesto, The Wealth of Nations, which was published soon after the Industrial Revolution. Neoliberals believe regulation should not be an impediment to manufacturing or commerce, and that high tariffs can be harmful. These ideas were liberal in the sense of advocating loose controls. In neoliberalism, profits are sought by lowering costs through improvements in the productive powers of labor. There should be reduced costly and unnecessary government regulation without sacrificing environmental protection and job safety. Neoliberalism has led to a widening gap between the rich and the poor, with the rich gaining wealth while the poor remain poor, justified by Social Darwinism. Neoliberalism is based on the uninhibited flow of capital without barriers, which many neoliberals use to protect their capital from taxes, or wealth the state uses to the benefit of all citizens. Neoliberalism also relies on the exploitation of many countries whose resources are sold out by corrupt leaders. For example, mineral rights in a poor African country could be sold to a wealthy Neoliberal whose company could use those resources to gain capital, while the citizens of that African country gain nothing, save its dictator, who gains a private jet. This is prime exampke of Neoliberalism's use of Karl Marx's Core-Periphery model, where the neoliberals are the core are those who exploit the periphery, who have no means to defend themselves. Periphery countries are reduced to providing labor, often at pay that is less than a dollar a day. Neoliberalism was espoused by both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and its policies of deregulation led to the global economic crisis of 2008.

.....took me a minute to regain composure here, was not expecting to see actual bona fide facts in a Conservapedia article. congrats guys, you get a gold star from der Phührer lmao

[Babiole]

Apparently it's run by Phyllis Schlafly's son. That's a good reason not to trust it.

[Hyper]

Meh opposition to vaccination, abortion, same sex marriage, any kind of international organisation oversight, sex-education in schools

I don't even bother getting upset in my eyes these people are a bit sad, a bit dangerous and definitely not worth my time.

[World Eater]

I don't see we'd even *need* a rationalwiki; wikipedia should be rational enough, shouldn't it?

Well this is their mission statement on their front page:


1. Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement.
2. Documenting the full range of crank ideas.
3. Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism.
4. Analysis and criticism of how these subjects are handled in the media.

[Miserabilia]

Well this is their mission statement on their front page:

Hm, well I guess that makes sense.
