== Congratulations ==
I wish to congratulate the authors of this page for creating the best piece of satire that I have read in a while. You could not have found a better way to popularise sensible mindsets, such as atheism (after all, you get all the cake if you are an atheist it seems- they all have to become obese somehow!), tolerance and fair coverage of topics. I genuinely cannot think of a better method of persuading people that one-sided coverage of topics are humorous at best and ridiculous at worst.
<br /><br />
Whoever wrote this- please, carry on! You have provided a couple of hours of good entertainment. I particularly like it when you string together two statements as if they were related, such as ''"The New Atheism movement claims to be pro-science, yet three out of five of these men have have had issues with being overweight as can be seen HERE and HERE and HERE" ''. Another great page is the one on the young earth [[http://www.conservapedia.com/Counterexamples_to_an_Old_Earth]].
<br /><br /> Another subtle humorous feature that wouldn't be spotted by all is the citations. Many of them were just repeats of what had been stated above, reworded. I liked the reference (although it had been exaggerated) to the lack of unbiased, reliable resources.

This website has been so cleverly constructed, so well done, the only thing that gave it away as humour was the extent to which it took all its jokes. A serious conservative website would have used more intelligent, logical arguments, more reliable sources (and in some cases sources other than the author!) and would not have made some of the shakier points of belief so obvious. However, for its intended use- humour- the articles are written perfectly.
