Re: Conservapedia

Chistianity was thefounding for most institutions in Europe
they were the ones educating people
they were the ones redistributing wealth
has anyone of you opened a history book?
why is that people have to critisize chistianity for its conservatism?
yes, there's a lot of bad about it - extremely bad.
but I can tell you one thing, you certainly wouldn't be sitting here without it
for the enlightement, of course it helped and was the foundation for it - and as like a lot of situations, the creation killed its creator

you guys really leave me speechless

They were redistributing wealth? Vassals and nobles ring a bell? Why do you think the French revolution happened?

And educating them? By that do you mean educating them on God and then exiling those who decided to seek rationale explanations about the cosmos and various other scientific areas.

High school history books are plagued with christian non-sense, completely forgetting about the rest of the world who contributed to the wealth and progress of Europe.

And people criticize Christianity because it continues to try and show the mechanisms of life without rationale thought. They criticize it because it breeds ignorance and only has room for a limited scope.

No, we wouldn't be sitting here without the help of multitudes of ethnically different people. And just because we are America, does not mean everything is hunky dory over here.

Christianity, like any other religion, exploits individuals and devoids them of rationale thought.

U need some help, definately

They were redistributing wealth? Vassals and nobles ring a bell? Why do you think the French revolution happened? .

Revolution happened for other reasons. In those days, you gave to the church because the church was running the hospital, the hospices, the asylums and schools. Giving to the church was a way to give to poor people.
Vassals and nobles were more statutes of the monarchy - linked to church but quite distinct institutions

And educating them? By that do you mean educating them on God and then exiling those who decided to seek rationale explanations about the cosmos and various other scientific areas..

Again, don't piss me off by taking the extremes, Christianity has some I know and I'm the first one to show them. But whether you like it or not, they were the ones building schools. Even today a lot of academic institutions are run by people like Jesuits

High school history books are plagued with christian non-sense, completely forgetting about the rest of the world who contributed to the wealth and progress of Europe...

Did I say that other religions or culture did not contribute? No fucking way, they all did, that's not even the point.
Talking about history books and bias in them is another story - I can give you an example: history books change at each presidential term in France like in a lot of countries - again, not the point

And people criticize Christianity because it continues to try and show the mechanisms of life without rationale thought. They criticize it because it breeds ignorance and only has room for a limited scope.

Again, don't take extremes - you seem young my little one. You need to understand that these movements are not one. The Christian church has a lot of different variances and I'm with you on the fact that creationism is dumb.
To be honest, I don’t get the end of your sentence here.

No, we wouldn't be sitting here without the help of multitudes of ethnically different people. And just because we are America, does not mean everything is hunky dory over here.

See above, in addition to this, European culture wouldn't be the same without Judaism or here Islam. Just calm down, look at the broader picture and stop puking nonsense.
Never said everything was nice in the US. btw, I live here too

Christianity, like any other religion, exploits individuals and devoids them of rationale thought.

Being Christian, I can tell you one thing: you're not forced to do anything and no one is exploiting me. Open the bible next time you're in a hotel room.

1. They gave to hospitals and schools in the name of God. And was taught in those schools? Religious texts. And hospitals? what a great way to be castrated by society if your child had a deformity or even to be told what to do with your well-being. The church had ultimate power over one's life, whether they liked it or not. To add, nobility and religion were self-ingrained - if you were a noble, you consequently held a high position in the ranks of the church. So yes, unrest and abuse by the church helped lead to the revolution. In turn, the donations and alms were pretty much useless.

2. Perhaps maybe private universities. I can't really see jesuits running the more notable private universities in the states.

3. So then what was the point of 'opening up a history book?'

4. It's not just creationism, it's a multitude of other facets such as ethnocentrism and the condemnation of other individuals. My last sentence was meant to show that christianity has a very limited view and encourages people to NOT look outside the box.

5. Eh? I have looked at the broader picture. I guess if you don't want your sentences to be misinterpretated, you should probably post a little more after them rather than leaving it up to us to figure the point you're trying to make.

6. There's no reason for me to open the bible. It hasn't really held water in it's proclamations. Furthermore, I don't tend to read books that were probably started by some guy that ate some mushrooms.

France??? short history in 200 words i.e. toilet reading for degenerates and in-breads!

France is a country in Western Europe.
At its height, the French Empire rivaled the British Empire, with colonies in every corner of the world. It continues to be a strong presence in academia and has been the birthplace of countless renowned scholars. It remains a powerhouse in the European Union, often at odds with the United Kingdom on issues of EU policy. The capital city is Paris, often called the "City of Lights" due to its renown for a center of learning and philosophy.
It was a founding member of the European Coal and Steel treaty which led to the EEC and EU. It greatly assisted then-Great Britain's North American colonies both militarily and financially in their effort to gain independence, and established universal legal codes in much of the non-Anglo-Saxon west. It has made a number of philosophical contributions to the world, including Descartes and Sartre, existentialism and post modernism. It gifted the Statue of Liberty to the USA in celebration of its independence, echoing the French aid given to the colonies during the American Revolutionary War.
In March of 2003 A.D., France did not participate in the alliance that attacked Iraq, with its ostensible aim to remove the Baathist regime, suspected of hiding weapons of mass destruction.
[edit] Gaul

Back during the time of the Roman Republic, France was a territory called Gaul. It was home to many fierce Saxon tribes. Julius Caesar personally led the invasion.
[edit] Frankland under Clovis

France is named after the Franks, a Saxon tribe who established Soissons, the capital. A Frank called Clovis united the Franks and established Frankland

Re: Conservapedia

I'm glad that there is a group of people who are looking out to make sure that misinformation I might access is both properly Christian and American. Thank you for showing the way, Conservapedia guys! Don't know where I'd be without you.


And regarding whether Christianity has done anything good to help society advance...don't be nutty, guys, of course it has. Read your history books.

Re: Conservapedia

bump!!!

This site was featured in the LA times today:

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-schlafly19jun19,0,1038574.story?page=1&coll=la-home-nation

The article itself is an interesting read, but what makes it really entertaining is that the folks at Conservapedia evidently view it as validation of the fine work they are doing, noting on their front page:

The LA Times praised our entries on the tuba, Claude Monet, the nation of Latvia, Robin Hood, polygons, and The Renaissance.

[shosh]

Re: Conservapedia

^ tuba and the nation of Latvia! wow

[godisadj]

Re: Conservapedia

What the hell were the LA Times searching for? They focus on polygons & Tubas? WTF?
