[After someone points out that while atheists outnumber Christians on Wikipedia, the number of Wikipedians of all faiths still outnumber atheist Wikipedians]
Faith is a uniquely Christian concept. It is being used incorrectly above

I was about to argue that no one could be this fucking stupid, but then I seen that it was from conservapedia, and realized, yeah, some people really are that fucking stupid.
If faith is uniquely Christian, then the existence of all other gods have been proven.
If so, then why do you still believe in your god?
@Dio Fa -- We know for sure that Bast is real, she sent her children to have dominion over the world...
/Happy Caturday, everyone!
LOL.
Look up faith in the dictionary:
in the context of religion: a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny
Faith has been around a LOT longer than Christianity in cultures all around the world.
I just spent time helping a friend argue that UV radiation doesn't pass through everything (they likened it to xrays and said there are cameras that use UV to see through things) and then I come here.
Did I miss where today is "make up your own definition of words" day?
Why don't you all throw a comment about the laws of thermodynamics in there and go for the piss me off trifecta - after all, I went to grad school and majored in that shit, with a minor in complimentary medicine. (Which includes faith, not faith healing, just faith and prayer.)
Something tells me this guy would claim that all the dictionaries are wrong about the definition of "faith"...
Of course, it's Andy Schlafly, the guy who believes himself to be the infallible mouth of God himself.
The thing about Wikipedia is it agrees with other sources of imformation ( in fact is mostly pulled from other honestly compiled sources of imformation )
The thing about Conservapedia is it's a compilation of old and new lies pulled from Christian propaganda with a Republican bias
Therefore, Conservapedia is almost always wrong
Dawkins should have included it in 'The God Delusion'
OK Andi, you've trolled us enough. You can stop now. Oh, you think you're right??? Man, put down the shit, it's not good for you, believe me. Incense is a hell of a drug...
I am trying to read everything this guy says and responds to in this page, and I have to conclude this man who claims that Wikipedia is biased is extremely biased himself. The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me.
The fact he is on Conservapedia is proof alone that he has a slanted view, which I think he has failed to notice.
@ smartz: he's the FOUNDER of conservapedia.
And yeah, Assfly is an idiot. He tried to pose legal challenges for "copyright infringement", clearly talking out of his ass, and has been shown to be an ass by professional trolls from RationalWiki on his site. He tried to erase the evidence, not realizing that every single damn thing he does is logged.
"Faith is a uniquely Christian concept"
So the Ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Chinese et al were just pretending, re. their respective beliefs?
And now you know why Wikipedia is almost as big as Google (certainly used almost as much), Mr. Schaftafly. 'Bias'? You mean how you verbally lick George Dumbya Bush's arse in his entry, but in the same Conservapoodia, you don't do the same with President Barack Obama? Oh yes, that's certainly being unbiased.
And now you wonder why Wikipedia is referred to more by internet users. It's certainly trusted more.
..the...fuck?
>.< Oh god, the stupid. It burns.
Faith is essentially firm belief in something for which there is no proof. That is something completely independent from religion.
You know, some of the ideas within religions were really nice until people got involved. Like that whole, "love your neighbor" thing. Also, "judge not, lest ye be judged".
*shakes head*
I mean, really. You're making Jesus sad.
Please, please, go to Mecca, find the biggest loudhailer known to man, and repeat that. I'd swim to Saudi Arabia just to be able to watch.
^No, no it isn't. Just look on this site. There are plenty of examples of "moronic crap" coming from Jews, Muslims, even atheists.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
