If you look at this website and you get depressed, your taking it to seriously.

Once you can laugh at these kinds of thing, your golden.

LOL!!!! http://www.conservapedia.com/Starlight_problem#Time_dilation_field

And on the pagea bout the nobel prize:

As an unwritten rule, the award is not given to a conservative (such as Ronald Reagan or Pope John Paul II) or scientists advocating intelligent design, and it is not given to anyone who challenges the scientific establishment on the issues of the theory of evolution or theory of relativity, such as standouts Raymond Damadian, Fred Hoyle and Robert Dicke.

And the sims... This has got to be a parody... http://www.conservapedia.com/The_Sims_2

Blasphemy
The Sims bodies are not those God made for Adam and Eve, but Eunuchs and Barbies. Also, despite the sponsorship of homosexuality, the game blurs the human bodies, as if God's creation was something that should be banned.

Alas, the other sections are not.

Lol, they have runescape! http://www.conservapedia.com/RuneScape
But they aren't too happy about it.

Hehe.
Obv trolling is obv.
Should have said its unchristian even more.
I will have to edit this.
Huesoo, join me in this!
Doesn't matter if you don't know what the game is.

It would be incredibly easy to write an over-the-top article on warhammer 40k. Heck, they would have a field day with the chaos marines alone. And then there's the immortal god-emperor, the uber-communist tau, the necrons and their gods, etc.

Edit: Disregard.

Expansion packs include options to "woo-hoo" in hot tubs or elevators. Combined with "cheat cracks" downloadable from the internet that allow a player to remove Sims' coverings, this game stops barely short of marketing pornography, and many have agreed that it is actual pornography.

Yep, pornography is bad.

Yep, lack of pornography is also bad :/.

They deleted it.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah, you can only create an account during the night (day?) in whatever timezone(s) America has. It's to prevent Liberals from getting an account.

[Leafsnail]

Yeah.  We British have super quick metabolisms, so we have to sleep all night or we evaporate.

One item of concern for conservative Christians is that players' characters do not usually worship God, but instead choose a patron deity from a fictional polytheistic pantheon. The game settings manufactured by Wizards of the Coast (Greyhawk, Faerun, Eberron, etc.) expressly adopt a polytheistic pantheon of fictional deities and reject real-world religions as a part of the game. (The Deities and Demigods[18] supplement offers several different takes on religion, including rules for a monotheistic game world, but deliberately sidesteps the question of any modern religion--Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.--even as it brings up pantheons of old myths, such as the Greek or Norse gods. It's likely they used only "dead" religions in order to avoid controversy.) The question of what extent and form of religion should be depicted in the game has been a question since the earliest days of the game. In an in depth look at monotheism in fantasy games, Joseph R.Ravitts raised some of the problems and benefits for a born-again Christian's point of view.[19]

Ravitts already understood the power of role-playing, which is now well known. Namely, role-playing is a powerful behavior modification tool. If you pretend that you believe something, eventually you will believe that something. For this reason, he posited that it was important to avoid role-playing in a polytheistic world. Referencing the classic argument from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, Ravitts explained how polytheism is really just atheism or monotheism in disguise. He believed that if players and DM's actively played in an atheistic world, they would eventually become atheists.

He then pointed out the difficulties of importing Christianity or other religions into D&D. Ravitts pointed out it is a simple matter to import mythological gods like Zeus or Thor into a fantasy setting. One simply imagines these gods are in the fantasy world and begins playing. But this is much more difficult with religious figures like Jesus, Muhammad or Buddha. Each of these three men were real historic personages. For example, Jesus lived, died and rose again in the Middle East at a specific time and place.

Ravitts proposed two simple work-arounds, for those who care about their spiritual well-being. Firstly, one could assume that all humans are teleported from Earth or descended from folks who were teleported from Earth. These humans have preserved their religious identities and thus Christianity is an option for players without tampering with the historical nature of Jesus. Secondly Ravitts proposed altering the game's mythos to allow for an all-powerful detached God reigning over the "gods, demigods and devils". In this way the "gods" are not gods at all, but just ultra-powerful beings who distract souls from worshiping the one true God.

However, it is worth noting that novels and "sourcebooks" make occasional references to a "God of gods".

Of course there are alternatives such as Testament a D&D type game set in the Biblical Era. Further, many of the game worlds portray certain gods and religions as being metaphors for modern ones. (Even the incredibly polytheistic Forgotten Realms, where more than a hundred deities exist, features a triad of gods that could be based on the Holy Trinity.) But ultimately, D&D is a game of fantasy and players are encouraged to alter the game world to better suit their tastes, and many Christian players and DMs alter the game world so that it better fits their personal beliefs.

...I think they broke my brain.

Isn't it technically possible for these arsebiscuits to get 'sued the shit out of'?
Simply trough Libel, Slander, and deliberate distortion of the truth?

History dork that I am, I've been reading through the pages on Thomas Jefferson, the Confederate States of America, and Apartheid.  It would appear that the insanity of an article is proportional to it's prevalence in popular discourse.  Or put another way, the more obscure the subject, the more neutral and honest the treatment, if a lot shorter and less entertaining.

I would say that a lot of it is just cribbed from other sources, but it's not.  The page on the play of events in the Civil War in particular sounds like the ramblings of a would-be game designer with too much time on his hands, waxing on for paragraphs about how the South could have won if they'd just stopped being racist and put the slaves to work in military roles.  Because, y'know, that would have gone over swimmingly for all involved.

Of course, I also read the takes on Barack Obama and John McCain.  I'll be laughing for days.

The wiki does offer an incredible insight into partisan thinking, if you read related pages enough.  Especially all the waffling over the catastrophic failures of conservative policies or eras.  The exact same people, like McCain, or William F. Buckley, or Pat Buchanan, are alternately labeled as "true" or "false" conservatives of varying degrees, based on the theme of the page.  Because, of course, when conservative politicians screw shit up, it's because they were never really conservative.

I really shouldn't be so confrontational about this myself, but damn.  The attitude.  It's infectious.
