10) making the speed of light more scriptural

This sounds cool!

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 14 May 2012 04:46 (eleven years ago) link

The earliest, most authentic manuscripts of the Gospel According to Luke lack this verse fragment set forth at the start of Luke 23:34:[13]

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

Is this a corruption of the original, perhaps promoted by liberals without regard to its authenticity? This does not appear in any other Gospel, and the simple fact is that some of the persecutors of Jesus did know what they were doing.

What really amazes me is the number of people who really believe in the idea of a trustworthy conservative encyclopedia, and are then disillusioned when Andy Schlafly calls them liberals for attempting to point out that maybe Sharon Tate wasn't a victim of "Hollywood Values."

So God created gigantic crocodile-like creatures, and made the waters teem with every moving creature after its kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God deemed this good.

Also:

Considering his major themes, Shakespeare is undoubtedly a conservative figure by today's standards. Major conservative themes in his works include the sacred nature of the familial structure in King Lear, the recognition of God in his plays and personal life, the existence of necessary war in The Famous Life of King Henry V, and the exposed injustice of taxation in Coriolanus. Not surprisingly, modern liberal literary critics often ignore these themes because of their place on the modern political spectrum.

"As of May 2011, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris have not publicly commented on the significant problems the New Atheism leadership has experienced in terms of overweight members."

Conservative Bible isn't very conservative with it's exclamation points.

This shit always makes me think of this:

Mayor Quimby, you're well-known, sir, for your lenient stance on
crime. But suppose for a second that _your_ house was ransacked
by thugs, _your_ family tied up in the basement with socks in
their mouths, you try to open the door but there's too much
_blood_ on the knob --
Quimby: What is your question?
Barlow: My question is about the budget, sir.

No mystery too esoteric or controversial for these fearless investigators.

Touché Gödel (ledge), Monday, 14 May 2012 08:29 (eleven years ago) link

Sin is a crime of infinite intensity. That’s why the sinner must go to hell forever. It is such an aggravated crime that it can never be paid for. Sin is an infinite crime demanding infinite punishment from an infinite Holy God who has been infinitely insulted by our infinite crime and rebellion against Him, and what all this actually displays is His infinite love for humanity and his infinite hatred against sin.

i'm actually learning here. (learning how much of an infinite dick these people's god is.)

1) preventing gay marriage 2) preventing abortion 3) putting the 10 commandments in schools 4) convincing the global scientific community that evolution is false 5) defeating terrorism indefinitely and continuously 6) stopping liberals 7) keeping guns 8) stopping socialised health care 9) preventing environmentalist lies from damaging America's economy 10) making the speed of light more scriptural 11) abolishing public education 12) promoting conservative facts

This has to be a poll. That 10 will win in a landslide.

The term "eternity" rarely occurs in the Old Testament, and when it does occur it does not have the modern sense.

The Greek words for eternity, "aion" and "aionios", lack the full Christian meaning also.[1]

Jesus and his disciples mention "eternity" nearly 70 times in the New Testament. Was this a new concept that originated with Christianity?

Yes, let's just ignore the far older Egyptian & Occidental traditions. So this concept that we are defining solely according Christianity - did it originate with Christianity?

Also that Jesus the New Testament was written in Greek (as [1] points out), making the third statement nonsense. The page was created by Schafly, of course.

Also that Jesus

These guys are great examples of what Frank Schaeffer talks about Jesus victims and how the children of religious rightwingers can often be even more batshit than the parents. Doubling-down helps to cover up the nagging doubts in ones head about the way one was raised or the horseshit indoctrinated into one's head.

conservapedia is just andrew schlafly talking to himself, but even that is sorta entertaining

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Andrew_Schlafly

He was lead counsel for the committees to recall US Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ)[24] and US Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND).[25] In both cases, Schlafly argued that although recall for Senators was never provided for in the Constitution of the United States, a letter George Washington had written to his nephew indicated his "sincere" personal support for the idea, and therefore recall should have been considered implicit. In both cases, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruling on November 18, 2010[26] and the North Dakota Supreme Court on December 21, 2010[27] dismissed the petitions before them.

A letter George Washington wrote to his nephew is the same as a law because.... ok, I can't even think of any reason a person who has a law degree would confuse that.

http://conservapedia.com/Fidel_Castro

Fidel Castro (August 13, 1926 - ~2009 )

In September of 2011, it was reported that a Venezuelan reporter had interviewed Castro [52], but independent media have not confirmed that this was not actually a doppelganger standing in for the long-deceased Castro.

In February 2012 the mainstream media reported that Castro met with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. Predictably there have been no reports from the liberal media as to whether this was actually Castro or a lookalike [53].

Conservapedia was created in November 2006 by Andrew Schlafly, a Harvard- and Princeton-educated attorney and a homeschool teacher.[5] He started the project after reading a student's assignment written using Common Era dating notation rather than the Anno Domini system that he preferred.[15]

It's booglarising my brain trying to work out how much of it is satire and how much is sincere.

thomasintrouble, Monday, 14 May 2012 17:24 (eleven years ago) link

I think it's 100% sincere! It wouldn't be as scary if it involved Schlafly trolling the rest of the world in any way.

The Bible Project is pretty stupid. I mean, I'm all for going back and re-translating, finding new sources, etc, but it's one thing to do that and another thing to go "This canonical thing that Jesus said, it sounds a bit commie, so let's just cut it out".

Canada, despite being the host country, was disappointed by its third-place finish in the overall medal count, and struggled even to win the gold medals in men's and women's hockey, its national pasttime. By winning medals in snowboarding, freestyle skiing and other "joke sports," Canada did salvage some national pride by setting a record for the number of gold medals in the off-season games.

Turn it up! Bring the LOLz!!

i love the large auns pictures! (Phil D.), Monday, 14 May 2012 17:47 (eleven years ago) link

oh, that's ace.

there is an occasional pocket of resistance, or at the very least, self-awareness, on there though - I quite liked this : "It is well known, in fact that cats ARE dogs, in spite of what those silly, left-wing inspired dictionaries, naturalists, scientists, and pet owners claim. We at Conservapedia face an uphill battle undoing several centuries of leftwing brainwashing that attempts to sell the notion that these domesticated, four-legged mammal carnivores are different animals entirely, and as soon as I find some scientists and naturalists who agree with me, I'll be sure to post them as cites"

thomasintrouble, Monday, 14 May 2012 17:47 (eleven years ago) link

The more I look at Conservapedia, the more I'm convinced it's an elaborate hoax. Then again that could be liberal bias on my part.

So much O_o to choose from. From conservapedia proven right:

Date of Conservapedia statement : Oct. 14, 2010
Conservapedia statement: Conservapedia observes and predicts increased premature graying as a Counterexample to an Old Earth.[37]
liberal claptrap in response: Liberal denial that premature graying is increasing.
Result: A top actress -- Katie Holmes, the wife of Tom Cruise -- is observed having gray hairs at only age 33.
Date of Result: April 29, 2012

cats=dogs quote is fake, right.......right?

arby's, Monday, 14 May 2012 18:44 (eleven years ago) link

It actually isn't fake. I *think* it is supposed to be funny though.

Saying that, I think this one is 100% earnest:

"While most scientists believe that the cheetah evolved, the very oldest cheetah fossils show us an animal that is just about like the cheetahs we know today. This complete lack of evidence for evolution, plus the intelligent specialized features of the cheetah, lead us to the conclusion that the cheetah is a special creation of God."

thomasintrouble, Monday, 14 May 2012 18:54 (eleven years ago) link

It's good to point that out cos the first thing you learn in Biology these days is that evolution explicitly states that nothing is a special creation of God.
