There's no "I didn't even know about it until yesterday . . . and it's good for a laugh" option on your poll

Of all abortion supporters they could have chosen, they chose Hitler... Two of the seven pictures are of Hitler...

See this is what I don't like about Conservapedia. When it comes to issues that conservatives are either strongly for or strongly against, there is clear bias in their assessment. From what I've seen, other types of articles have better information.
 
Conservatopedia as opposed to what ?
Are they so stupid that they think Wiki is liberal ?
I think not, so its possibly a plant from the so-called liberals.

Your saying this is a serious website? lol.. I was half laughing at the material.. then I was reading other material and didn't think it was so funny. So I think well that is bad editing or something then I come back in here and you saying it is serious? Scary stuff. Of course these people are trying to put Palin in office so.... it is still kind of funny but a freaky funny I guess.
 
WRT the pole. I take a centerist roll I will agree with whichever I think is appropriate for time and place in terms of politic so I selected other. Just so happens though the right is wrong most of the time. :)

And that's not also true for liberals?

Out of curiosity I looked up aninism on conservapedia and found nothing. Then I looked up Animism and found this:

Not that I am trying to stick up for them but they don't say anything about it being a science.

Do you know what Intelligent Design is? Do you understand how principly the notion of "can't explain the eye now = Goddidit" = "can't explain lightning = Zeus" is the same thing?

What's that have to do with the claim that conservapedia says that animism is a provable science? It doesn't say that, at least not that I could find.

Legal disclaimer: I don't give a damn about conservapedia.

Did you read the quote you quoted?
 
Conservepedia reinforces my world view





at least the portion of my world view that harbors the realization that there are some people that live their entire lives in some misinformed close minded non critical thinking crazy alternate reality that my mind cannot even begin to fathom.

lemmings.. such funny critters they are.

Of course I do, this little sub-thread is a result of you saying " They say animism is a testable science." Which it doesn't. You threw in Intelligent Design later, which has nothing to do with your original statement.

You seem to not understand that Intelligent Design is Aninism. Apparently "can't explain the eye now = Goddidit" = "can't explain lightning = Zeus" that didn't tip you off to that.

No, it's not.

Actually it is.

Aninism explains natural phenomena that could not be explained at the time, such as lightning and the rainy season to anima, or functionally spirits generally of the supernatural state.
Intelligent design argues that because some things are too complex to arise on their own and because we can't explain how they got there, something (namely supernatural) was the cause.

The underlying logic is identical.

A belief that argues Goddidit because we can't explain how a complex organ like an eye formed is the same belief that Zeus throws lightning because we couldn't explain how it happened back then.

Intelligent Design is nothing more then repackaged Aninism. Therefore, Conservapedia arguing that Intelligent Design is real science has argued that Aninism is real science.

That's a huge stretch that makes no real sense. That's like saying that air and water are the same thing becuase they both contain oxygen.

Uh, how is it a huge stretch? Animism explains phenomena that couldn't be explained to supernatural beings. Intelligent design explains phenomena that can't be explained to a supernatural beings.

How are they different aside the fact that in the second sentence it's Animism and in the third its ID?

Are psychology and psychiatry the same thing? Are cars and airplanes the same thing? Are trains and ships the same thing? Are planets and moons the same thing?
