um, have you heard about conservapedia?

The following text is from the main page:

"Conservapedia is a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American. On Wikipedia, many of the dates are provided in the anti-Christian "C.E." instead of "A.D.", which Conservapedia uses. Christianity receives no credit for the great advances and discoveries it inspired, such as those of the Renaissance. Read a list of many Examples of Bias in Wikipedia."

Some gems from the entries:

1. Holocaust: "The Holocaust was the massacring of the Jewish race during World War II. The Germans are not to blame for this but the Nazi are. Besides 6 million Jews dying, 3 million Christians were killed also along with many priests and nuns. This is a very touchy subject for the Jews and is not often discussed amongst them."

That's all it says, folks.

2. Abolition: "Abolition is the act of officially revoking an existing institution by legal means, either through making it illegal, or merely not letting it exist in any way or form. The word was used commonly in the United States during 19th century in the context of slavery. People who wanted to end slavery, campaigned for “abolition” and were labeled “abolitionists”. The word is used in other contexts as well(for example, today some people push for the abolition of abortion), but that was the most common."

That's all it says, folks.

3. Jesus: There's about a screen full of text. Go on, check it out. They can't even expound at great lengths on Jesus? When I looked up the ten commandments there was more text there.

4. Ted Haggard. Hmm. Found no entries on him.

5. Richard Nixon: Last sentence, "Nixon was a Christian; however, like many Christians after he died he went straight to Hell." HAHAHAHA. I love it.

Evangelical homeschoolers rejoice. You can stop using evil Wikipedia to help you with your homework.

Someone tell me this site is a joke. Please.
