Preserved for posterity

This has inexplicably been marked for deletion, but the author deserves a pat on the back. Genesis, the opening to the Conservative Bible:

1 In the beginning, God did a cost/benefit analysis and decided that social collectivism was the only sustainable economic paradigm and that the only people that actually go to hell are sinister, self-absorbed, greedy myopic fascists such as those that created Conservapedia.

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." --Richard Dawkins, in honor of your current highlighted article.

"Never trust someone that says, 'Well, what god MEANT to say was.....'" --Bill Hicks

Seriously, you people at Conservapedia are truly mentally ill.

I will, however, chide author Montieth for the comparison to the mentally ill. Stupidity, ignorance, and self-parody are not mental illnesses.
