Conservapedia is probably the only place on the internet with a zero tolerance policy for rudeness and trolling.
For Conservapedia's Critics
- You only think someone is "biased" when their bias is different from yours
- You only think of something as "propaganda" when it promotes an ideology you don't like
- You only think people are being "indoctrinated" when people are being educated in a way that teaches them things you don't like
The reality is you have a bias, you like propaganda that supports your own ideology, and the way you teach your ideology to others is indoctrination.
What's great about Conservapedia
This is a place where rules apply. Rules governing civility and decorum are strictly enforced, and those who break them are quickly blocked, making this one of the few places on the internet where socially inappropriate behavior has consequences. As a result, Conservapedia is the cleanest, most civilized, and morally upstanding place on the internet.
I've just been granted blocking rights
I vow to use these privileges to keep this site free from vandalism and trolling.

Christianity
I believe in God the Father, Maker of Heaven and Earth, in Jesus Christ, his only Son, and in the virgin birth. I believe that Jesus did all the work that was necessary for our Salvation and that nothing we do has any bearing on it (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3 and 4 with emphasis on 3:27-28 and 4:1-5).
