(Should we ban atheists from Conservapedia?)
I will side with the answer Yes, but have reservations. Me more than anybody wants liberals out-of-here. But I realize us conservatives have more to learn about 'them'. Though, this requires a tremendous effort to monitor their asinine postings. I feel the same can be said for atheists, which also tend to be liberal. We can learn from their stupidity but at a cost to slowing the development of a highly credible website.

Credible? The site that finds the Wikipedia too 'liberal? That has Hitler as the first image on their evolution article? That won't even mention their greatest hero after Jesus, Ronald Reagan, has any kids, for instance a certain Ron Prescott Reagan? That says porn is part of, and I quote, "A satanic trap"?
Believe me JP, Conservapedia's credible when Battle Royale 2 is a good movie.
From the thread;
They also fear a reference source that, unlike Wikipedia, actually reflects what most of America believes!
REFERENCE SOURCES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.
My word, the more I hear out of Conservapedia the more Ifjjkbx,vcgklhhf

Me discouraged by this 'grammars.' Does people actually right like those? Is him a cave mans?
Two thoughts come to mind.
1 So you'd ban conservative atheists from a conservative website?
2 "A highly credible website???" ROFLMFAO!!
Relax, jp, you're perfectly safe. No sensible liberal or atheist would bother trying to edit your site, a) because we've already got Wikipedia, and b) we know damn well that anything contradicting the decrees of the fundie elite that control Conservapedia would be moderated out of existence within minutes anyway.
Something that is out of touch with reality, and deliberately witholds useful information it deems to be morally questionable, is probably doomed to obscurity and eventual collapse anyway (through evolutionary competition with other sources, amusingly enough); attempting to inject a little sense into it will make it last longer but cannot redeem it as long as its overall bias is enforced.
What?? I thought that anyone with a brain had already been banned by those ignorant dolts! Seriously, "constipedia" works wonderfully as a parody site of the stupidity and bigotry of the far-right, unfortunately the people over there are too stupid to realize that they are stereotypes of everything bad about nose-led, neo-con sheeple.
"We can learn from their stupidity but at a cost to slowing the development of a highly credible website. "
Your development is extremely slow. It might even be slower than evolution. (the real thing, not the blabbering on conservapedia)
[Me more than anybody wants liberals out-of-here.]
Good luck with that.
[But I realize us conservatives have more to learn about 'them'.]
...among other things.

Nobody ever said that debate was easy.
Wow, this site is amazing. I also did not know that it is part of my "atheist agenda" to destroy Conservapedia. Quite frankly I really didn't even know that it existed until I just went there, but I will certainly put this on my to do list now.
My favorite argument from these nut jobs is that atheists are closed minded. The fact of the matter is that if a religious person or organization ever shows evidence of ANYTHING supernatural I would consider it. If new facts came to light and a new theory better described what we see in nature then evolution I would discard evolution in a second in favor of this new theory, be it creationism or something else. It is the religious that will never be disuaded from their beliefs because their beliefs are not based on logic to begin with. What they believe to be true is true only because they say so...and it is also irrefutable.
What a jackass.
A highly credible website?
I dunno about highly. There's like a hierarchy.
Reputable:
Slashdot
The Gawker network
Cnet
escapistmagazine
snopes
Then there's
Wikipedia
And then joke encyclopedias:
Encyclopedia Dramatica
Uncyclopedia
Then goatse:
Goatse
Then a few more levels, then Conservapedia.
You people might move up a few notches in credibility if you made it a secular website for conservative causes. It is possible to be atheist and conservative. But no, that's not what happened here. Your site is just a mouthpiece for religious conservatives. Sadly, the Republican Party has been hijacked by the same nuts and moved in the same direction, becoming more of a Christian Democrat Party than a Conservative Party.
I love how they try to mimic the way people talk on WikiPedia:
"Yours is a powerful argument, Silvio, and one that I wrestled with before writing my proposal. Its expression does you great credit. My counter-argument is that while we are doing great work that reaches many, we could, without the constant need to fight these maggots, be doing greater work that reaches multitudes. Neither of us (of course!) could say for certain how many souls are saved, but we may honourably have different views about the better approach. Bugler 15:59, 19 August 2008 (EDT)"

Me thinks you should put your club down and pick up a book.
But I realize us conservatives have more to learn about 'them'.
Like our use of grammar?
The rest is just pure irony and stupidity.
i just read conservapedia's 'athiesm' article that was article of the year or something, and i dont think i've ever seen so many logical fallacies and blatant lies in my life and i hope never to again, thus i will refrain from reading conservapedia articles for my own mental health and to maintain my IQ
"Should we ban atheists from Conservapedia?"
Well, since conservapedia's a compilation of lies and ommision, it wouldn't surprize anyone if you did.
But atheists are pretty good at pretending to be socially-backward uneducated deluded dickwads, I don't know how you'll stop them from poeing
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
