:::::Is it a sin? Yes.  Is it condemned in the Bible? Yes.  Is it a problem in the world today? Yes.  Is it an appropriate topic to be mentioned or redirected to on a total of [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=100&offset=0&profile=default&search=bestiality 210] pages on CP, a site primarily for young homeschoolers to be using? No, I don't think so.  Is it a good idea to cite sources with such crude language on an educational resource? No, I don't think so.  Ask just about any librarian in the world, about where to find good sources for a paper, and they will eventually come around to Wikipedia--not the content, but the sources.  They often suggest you look up your topic on WP, and scroll right to the bottom and view all the resources cited.  If CP hopes to be popular and useful, it should be assumed that people may do this here as well.  Using such resources makes us look bad and unprofessional, promotes their content, and gives them more traffic to their website, which not only makes them think people like it but also potentially improves their website's ranking.  Meanwhile, our ranking will be reduced since we refer to links of such poor quality.  If you are concerned about what search engines think of CP as you seem to be, Cons, you might want to even consider this if nothing else.

:::::Meanwhile, other sins which are mentioned in the Bible (more frequently, in some cases) are mentioned much fewer times by CP. (For example, adultery: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=adultery&fulltext=Search 192], Polygamy: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=Polygamy&fulltext=Search 82], and Blasphemy: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=blasphemy&fulltext=Search 103]) I know it's an issue, but can we give such a disgusting sin a rest, and not shock the poor pre-teen who has the misfortune of clicking on Random Page one too many times?  They'll need to learn eventually, but some things are best taught by parents. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 09:22, 16 May 2016 (EDT)

== On proper grammar, or, did you know that most of the population of Texas is homosexual? ==

I have chided Cons repeatedly on proper punctuation, particularly regarding subordinate clauses and compound sentences.  For a sample, see [[User_talk:SamHB#Re:_Aburke]].

Well, it turns out that the same errors can show up in unexpected places, like the Texas Republican party’s official platform.  It has:
 +
{{cquote|Homosexuality is a chosen behavior that is contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that has been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nations founders, and shared by the majority of Texans.}}
