Exactly my point.
Exactly my point.
== My Parthian Shot ==
Hello, contributors of Conservapedia. I have been here for some time now, observing the various arguments for your worldview and reading your articles. I scantly contributed, instead preferring to be a follower. However, the seeds of doubt were sewn in my mind, and I do not believe that I can continue to be an active user here without complaint. I have decided to move on to better climes. And before I go, this is my Parthian shot. It is my hope that you read this in its entirety and learn from it.
I have read many an article here, and I am sorry to say that many have left me with just as many questions as answers. I asked questions, whether in the articles' talk pages or my own, but they have all been deleted without answer, as though the current leadership is unable to answer them. So I began to search for the answers myself. My questions have taken me to many a website, with a wide range of political and religious views, from AnswersinGenesis to the infamous Wikipedia.
In light of the answers I've found, I have slid from a KJV reading Baptist to an Agnostic. Many of the questions I've asked ('Why doesn't God just destroy Satan now, instead of allowing him to corrupt more people', for example) have no adequate answer from the Christian side, yet many a sensible answer from atheists. It doesn't help that many of your articles seem to misrepresent the state of science (Your article on [[evolution]], for example).
And then there are politics. Gentlemen, '[[liberal]]' and 'evil' are not the same word, by any stretch of the imagination. No one is purely evil or purely good in this world. Instead, there are many shades of gray. Many of your articles are little more than slander against anyone who isn't conservative. Slander is not a valid argument (Barack Obama has his very many faults, but it's a pretty well known fact that he is not a Muslim). And every conservative politician isn't exactly sunshine and daisies, either. There have been plenty of scandals on both sides of the coin.
To sum up: I found many of your arguments flawed. When I questioned those arguments, my queries were deleted, meaning you are unwilling or unable to answer them (I expect this to be deleted as well, as you all seem to rely on censorship to keep your ideas intact, but hey, maybe you'll prove me wrong, that'd be a pleasant surprise). The answers I've found from other, more reliable sources do not align with the answers here. Do what you will with my account, I will no longer be needing it. I hope you've learned a thing or two from this Parthian Shot, and may you all live happy and pleasant lives. Goodbye. --[[User:Bdor24|Bdor24]] 20:43, 23 May 2012 (EDT)
