When you finally thought that the extreme religious views couldn’t get much worse, there’s Conservapedia.  If they’re not wacky enough for you, then you can try Christopedia.  Both are frighteningly scary in their own ways, however, their extreme views give conservatives and Christians a very bad name.

Much of their information is taken to be accurate and factual, when, in fact, it is not.  Yet, many people visit these two sites because of the appearance of accuracy and the inability for its users to genuinely filter out the garbage and add in the truth.

An example of inaccuracy is entry on Barack Obama:

President-elect Obama could become the first Muslim President to be sworn into office at his inauguration on January 20, 2009, possibly using the Koran.

Besides this being wholly inaccurate, the citation at the end of the sentence is a link to a Christian Science Article from 2006 about Congressman Keith Ellison, who is a Muslim, and wanted to carry a Koran to his swearing in ceremony.  The problem is that most people don’t read the citations.  They merely look that there is a citation and assume that whatever was written is accurate.

Conservapedia still feels like it is written by home schooled or Christan-schooled children who do not know any other way of life besides what has been spoon fed to them.

Conservapedia, however, seems very liberal when comparing it to Christopedia.  Their main page still features President-Elect Barack Obama prominently, with several inaccuracies in the entry.

Obama was allegedly born in Honolulu, Hawaii to an African Muslim father from Kenya, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., and an atheist white American mother, Stanley Ann Dunham.

There is no “allegedly” to his birth.  Barack Obama has released copies of his birth certificate and the hospital in which he was born in, as well as the state government, have verified his birth.  It is unnecessary to point out the religious leaning of his parents unless you are trying to stir up hatred against these belief systems.

They also make a point of showing Obama in Muslim dress, without giving the full details of why he wore such clothes.  I too, have worn traditional Muslim dress before.  I was at a friend’s wedding and it was the custom, so I dressed appropriately, yet, three years later, no one is accusing me of being a Muslim.

They also use “guilt by association” by including Reverend Wright.  The problem here is that make a point of mentioning here that Barack Obama has had an association with Reverend Wright for since 1988, yet they don’t see that they are claiming Obama is a radical Christian, while at the same time, a Muslim.

Michelle Obama, Barack’s wife, is also referred to as a Negroid-American, claiming that she will be the first “negress” to become first lady of the United States.

It is a bit ironic that “today’s verse” listed on the main page, under the entry for Barack Obama, is Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” and Mark 12:30-31 “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. ”

It does not appear that they can practice what they preach.
