Why this page is beyond substandard and quite frankly embarrassing:

• It is not actually an essay. It is actually a collection of captioned pictures and links. In fact, there are no words in it that are not links or captions to pictures.
• It claims that one's "machismo" is linked to one's preference in peanut butter, despite no link ever being shows between the two.
• The main thesis, that Richard Dawkins likes creamy peanut butter, has never been proven anywhere.
• Other main points of this piece, like the claims that Chuck Norris and John Wayne enjoy/enjoyed chunky peanut butter, have never been proven.
• Large components of it, namely the bunny and bullfighting pictures, have been used in countless other "essays" by User:Conservative and don't really prove anything.

Ed Poor, if you can't see that this page is an utter embarassment to the readers and editors of Conservapedia, then I don't know what else to say. I am interested in hearing your defense of this article. AndrewTompkins 11:20, 14 July 2012 (EDT)

I agree that it's not actually an essay. It looks like a joke: i.e., the page author is probably using it to tease atheists.

Please don't respond as if you think it wasn't meant humorously. There's no "thesis"; he's just kidding around.

You may wonder whether kidding and teasing atheists will promote Conservapedia's cause. But if you can't tell it was comedic material, there's probably no point discussing it further. --Ed Poor ^Talk 12:33, 14 July 2012 (EDT)
