:::You presumably know that the internet is a big place, and one can find statements in support of just about any viewpoint, however outlandish or nonsensical-by-the-standards-of-normal-sensible-people they may be. If one spends huge amounts of time scouring the internet for wacky statements, one will find them.

:::There are a few people at Conservapedia who frequently do this, User:Conservative ("Cons") perhaps foremost among them. I still occasionally find treasure troves of this sort of thing, like [https://www.conservapedia.com/Essay:_Attention_atheists:_You_don%27t_own_the_internet this thing about someone named "cultofdusty", who posted some silly thing on youtube about how atheists own the internet]. If a normal person came across such tripe they would simply move on, after promising themselves not to spend so much time clicking on asinine youtube videos.
:::On another topic, please be aware that posting <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tags at Conservapedia almost never ends well. Countering misinformation is not easy. Choose your battles carefully.
