    Upon further research, I found Wiki Christian lacking theological depth, and carrying a distinct bias against fringe christian groups.

    I also found that Conservapedia was also not very deep in most regards.

    I do wonder why certain theories are suppressed or the questioning of said theories was omitted.

    I found that the critisisms of Evolution bring up good questions that I have yet to see answers for...

    Heh, I like the note at the end of the article on God.
    With their two sources been www.biblebelivers.org.au and www.letusreason.org

    Or the amount of external links from the article on Bible is impressive.

    Wikipedia? Biased? Inaccurate? This is news? I thought everyone knew the problems with wikipedia. That being said, I got some good laughs out of the above quotes.

    Yay, I realized I'm a conspiracy theorist!

    "At the height of the scandal that led to the impeachment of President Clinton, Hillary Clinton blamed it all on a "vast right-wing conspiracy." [1] Her statement was widely ridiculed. " - article on H. Clinton.

    It's nice how much you can learn about yourself from other people.

    I am definately sure that the main sources of the authors are Hollywood movies. Just read the article about Achilles

    Isn't this exactly the way Achilles was presented in the movie "Troy"?

    BOC, that's pretty funny. Seriously, it was a "long time ago"? And he had a "gang of men"?

    BOC... Interesting, I don't remember Achilles having such a big role in the Odyssey, but who am I to say?

    @Shaman

    In Odyssey Achilles appears only during Odysseus' journey to Hades.

    @Goli

    "Gang of men" and "long time ago" are minor offenses compared with "Marmodons" or "He was a big character in the Odyssey and Iliad by Homer, but he isn't in any other Greek plays, because he wasn't a king", which indicate a total ignorance about classic literature.

    True, BOC, those are much worse. Still, I can't help but chuckle to the crude wording.

    [​IMG] I found that wikipedia has highlighted the conservapedia article on Kangaroos. Here's why:

    This is followed by a discussion on whether they got to Australia by land or by clinging to driftwood :D

    Their sex article has been removed and is protected so that no new article can be written.
