==How '''NOT''' to proselytize==
[[User:Conservative]] ("Cons") has the laudable goal of introducing people to Christianity on the pages of this wiki. However, I don't think the incredibly obsessive way he does this is likely to be effective.
*He seems obsessed with svelte Indian Christian ladies and their graceful dancing style, as though that should persuade people to embrace Christianity. (Many references in [[Essay:_Indian_Christian_culture_is_better_than_low_class_atheist_%22culture%22|this article]].)
::"Well, gosh. Those Indian Christian ladies are so graceful, that must show that Jesus is the son of God. I'd better join a church right away."
*He also seems obsessed with Penn Jillette's lack of grace when dancing the "Walrus Slide", and with the fact that Ken Ham likes to yodel. (See [[Essay:_Penn_Jillette%27s_walrus_slide_vs._thin_Indian_Christian_lady_dancers|this article, which is remarkably similar to the one cited just above]].)
::"Well, gosh. Ken Ham likes to yodel when climbing the Triceratops model at the Creation Museum, and when climbing mountains. I guess that shows that the universe was created in 6 days, 6000 years ago."
*He also points out that the Swiss like to yodel, [http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:SamHB#re:_well-intentioned_and_level-headed_people here].
::"Well, gosh. The Swiss like to yodel. Jesus is lord!"
*He also likes to point out, in too many places to list here, that non-Western cultures are expanding at the expense of traditional American cultures. He says this with a degree of glee that makes me wonder whose side he is on.
::"Well, gosh. Non-Western societies are rapidly growing due to their high birth rate. I guess I'd better convert to Islam."
*He points out the atheists aren't as good-looking as religious people [[Atheists and physical attractiveness|here]], as though there is something meaningful that we are supposed to take away from this notion.
::"Well, gosh. Women don't seem to want to date me. I guess I'm ugly. I'd better join a Bible study group at my college. That will make me better-looking, and I'll get lots of dates."
*And then there's [[Essay:_Militant_atheism_and_short_man's_syndrome|this]] gem.
::"Well, gosh. I'm kind of short. Most women I know are taller than I am, and seem not to want to date men shorter than they are. Maybe if I go to church regularly I'll grow taller. There ''is'' a causal relationship, isn't there? It's right in the essay: "Get over it little man, shortness is a causal factor for militant atheism!"
*He has also been pointing out for several years and "20XX is going to be (or already is) the worst year ever for atheism. He even made a past-tense claim about a year that is still happening [http://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_index/166#2018_was_a_TERRIBLE_year_for_militant_atheists here].
::"Well, gosh. After all this, are atheists still around? How come I still see so many of them? Does the existence of God not depend on something someone once said in an elevator?"
*He had recently been obsessed with potholes in British streets, even putting an article on the main page for a while. He apparently wants to use the state of British roads to make some quasi-political, quasi-religious, quasi-scientific argument.
::"Well, gosh. There are potholes in streets in the UK, and Charles Darwin (more than 100 years ago) was British. I guess that means that evolution did not occur. I'm glad people can see these scientific principles so clearly."
Most of his "articles" contain enormous numbers of references to other of his articles, as though that counts as a "reference".
