"Both homosexuals and atheists have lower fertility rates." "Well gently caress, I wondered why my boyfriend wasn't getting pregnant."  Why don't they get rolling on that whole 'if gay marriage, then why not polygamy' thing? Then they can pretend to have more of the spare thin Indian belly dancing ladies.

I'm surprised Conservapedia hasn't jumped on Russell Wilson as their new NFL Christian poster boy. He's public about his Christianity and he's actually a decent to elite quarterback depending on who you ask. Instead, the only mention of Russell Wilson on Conservapedia is on Seattle Seahawks/Roster, last updated October of 2014, but for some reason still includes players that weren't on the team in October 2014. As much as I love crazy Conservapedia, I also enjoy horrendously out of date Conservapedia. The article on the Seattle Seahawks, a team that just played in back-to-back Super Bowls, winning in 2013 and losing on the final play in 2014, has this to say about the Super Bowl: quote:The Seahawks lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL after defeating the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship. The Seahawks are the only team to have played in both the AFC and NFC Championship Game. Two sentences about a game that happened nine years ago.

I dont know posted:I know you are joking, but I've met many religious people who don't know that the bible repeatedly condemns advertising how faithful you are. I decided to look up the Conservative Bible Project version of Matthew 6:5. quote:And when you pray, don't be like the hypocrites. They love to pray when standing in the synagogues and in the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. I tell you truly: They will get what's coming to them. This is generally fine, just kind of modernizing the language, but the last sentence "They will get what's coming to them" completely misses the point. The phrase in every translation I am aware of is something like "they have their reward." The point is that when you pray, you are praying to God. God sees everything, so don't be ostentatious about it. The only reason to be ostentatious about your prayer is if you want attention and admiration from your fellow man for appearing holy. So, if you pray openly, you get nothing from God, because you already got your reward, attention from other people. In the Conservative Bible this is lost completely. Rather than being about God being the audience for your prayers, not other people, it's a story about praying to yourself because otherwise God will gently caress you up for some reason. The Conservative Bible does this throughout Matthew 6, changing all of the messages about doing good things privately because God will know, and that's all that matters, into do good things privately because God will get angry otherwise.

Not My Leg posted:I decided to look up the Conservative Bible Project version of Matthew 6:5. One thing I've noticed about fundamentalism in general is that God is always either rewarding you or punishing you. Any action you take, especially a religious action, must either be righteous or wretched. There's no concept of a merely futile action (such as praying in public), or one that is only bad because it distances you from God (e.g. obsessing over money), both of which are fairly common concepts in mainstream Christianity. I wonder what they would think of Limbo in Dante's Inferno. The people there, mostly unbaptized children and virtuous pagans, are left to their own devices and are not directly punished in any way (some of them even get their own kickass clubhouse!), but they're forever locked out of Heaven, away from God, and they know it - and that's why it's part of Hell.

Instead this one focused on his approval numbers. quote:Comparing Muslims to mosquitoes? Seriously?!? [3] quote:Nevertheless, I refer to guest speaker Hussein Rashid, who denied the intensity and frequency of religious violence, citing that Muslims kill a mere 17 Americans per year (surely, not in the year 2001), while mosquitoes kill an average of 750,000. This is the new Moral Inversion, that Sharia law is now moral and mosquitoes immoral. Are we to flick a wrist at jihadists and the growing body count? (According to Muslim historian Firistha, Muslims killed ~400 million Indian people during invasions and occupation of the Indian continent alone, bringing the worldwide total to more than 890 million victims since the birth of Mohammed.) I don't have the numbers handy but I'm pretty sure that mosquitoes have vastly outperformed a mere 1 billion deaths since then, too. poo poo, if we're at 750k in 2015 then mosqiutoes have outdone that in the 20th century alone. This is of course a conservativenewsandviews.com writer claiming that a Muslim killing someone is motivated exclusively by Islam. Kind of routine for them at this point. quote:A Wikipedia article on Alleged Clinton Controversies is about to be permanently deleted. Read it while you still have the chance.

It goes without saying that 750k is an approximation of worldwide mosquito deaths, and is probably a significant underestimate. He's not wrong in his general thesis, though, that ISIS ain't got poo poo on big poppa plasmodium.

I'd be surprised if the number of deaths ISIS has racked up is even in the same order of magnitude as one strain of mosquito borne disease. It's not a comparison worth entertaining in anything other than in a purely academic sense.

We had to wait for the black death to delve into that in order to try and cure the disease That's not entirely true. It was banned in the Roman Empire because of Roman pagan beliefs, but the Catholic Church never banned it so there was no de jure ban after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. There was a Papal order banning the practice of dismembering corpses and mixing up the body parts of soldiers to more easily transport them home that was sometimes erroneously cited as a ban on medical dissection, but that was it.

It wasn't even "banned" in the Roman Empire. Greco-Roman doctors were quite able to go delving into the inner workings of the human body; it was viewed as spiritually unclean, but all that meant was that the doctors got slaves to do it instead of doing it themselves. Surgically-skilled slaves were fairly valuable and well-treated in antiquity for that very reason.

The other issue is that once you've goobered around in a body for a while, well...then what? It didn't really take all that many bodies to see that humans had really the same parts inside as other hairy things. This was a time where if somebody was seeing your innards you were hosed anyway because fancy things like blood transfusions, sterilized surgical tools, and related things weren't around yet. One of the reasons there wasn't much going on when it came to surgery was that it just wasn't useful. Procedures had to be done before somebody bled to death if you wanted to do work on somebody alive so there wasn't much for doing long procedures. Even simple ones were still very likely to kill the patient so surgery was just not really all that done. There also wasn't much reason to analyze dead bodies either because...well what would you do with the information? Autopsies weren't all that useful.

 Conservapedia, the broken encyclopedia. Someone's scheduled maintenance didn't have the intended effect. Anyway you see [3] don there at the bottom right? It's Bradlee Dean! quote:If such crimes have already come to the light in the Boy Scouts, one must ask why the radical homosexual lobby is determined to force the BSA to allow homosexuals to infiltrate their organization. Weird, Dean's using the word "homosexual" instead of "sodomite". Has he started softening his "whiny angry white person" image? quote:As one would expect when the doors to sinful behavior are swung open. Sex abuse by leaders in scouting is another tragic consequence (Romans 1:24-27). Also yes he's acknowledging the existing sex abuse scandals but is arguing that gay scout leaders will make it worse. quote:Even worse is the lack of justice these young boys receive. Canada’s epidemic of child sex abuse is largely swept under the rug to protect pederasts. There has to be a name for this, claiming there's a problem that happens to reinforce your point but also claiming it's been covered up, also something that reinforces your point. Is there an epidemic? You can't answer that, because it's been covered up!!

First, look at what Conservapedia's front page says about Bill Cosby: Hollywood Values/Entertainment values further exposed: "I’m No Longer Afraid": 35 Women Tell Their Stories About Being Assaulted by Bill Cosby, and the Culture That Wouldn’t Listen.[19] Then, look at what their article about Cosby says. "Cosby is highly regarded amongst conservatives who feel the same way." Not that anyone at Conservapedia supports or endorses the use of narcotics to facilitate rape, though.
