| This Conservapedia-related article is of largely historical interest and is no longer the focus of RationalWiki today.
Conservapedia (and religious fundamentalism to an extent) was a major focal point in the early history of RationalWiki, but long ago ceased coming up with new ways to appall and amuse.
Our energies are now spent debunking other, fresher examples of pseudoscientific claims, authoritarianism, and deceit.
For RationalWiki's less ancient content, try the Best of RationalWiki.

This article is about the crazy fundie blog. For the slightly less crazy fundie blog, see Conservapedia.

Conservatipedia was a blog owned by Chris Francis. It was ~~believed to be~~ a parody, ~~though nothing of that nature has ever been proven~~ (see Poe's law). In a post answering the satire question, Francis said: "It must be hard for seculars to handle the fact that there are real people out there that follow God's words and live by it."[1] There wasn't any indication of parody found in the HTML code of the site. Rumours have circulated[citation needed] that were members from Conservapedia who wanted to help support the site and write with a more offensive tone. The site used the slogan: "battling the liberal bias of the internet".

## 2008 U.S. election[edit]

Conservatipedia endorsed Mike Huckabee as the candidate of choice for the Republican Party. It called John McCain a "filthy liberal"[2] and Mitt Romney a "filthy mormon"[3]. Links to Mike Huckabee's website were found under the conservative links menu. Huckabee is also suspected of being a parodist.

## Claims[edit]

The blogger declared such things as:

* "Madonna has AIDS," which he claimed is divine punishment for having anal sex.
* "A strong belief in our Lord Jesus Christ is really the only cure for aids."
* "All Moslems should be put into concentration camps."
* "Atheists are out to get your children".

## Reaction[edit]

A few people commented on the blog posts, and seemed to be roughly split between those who believed it to be a parody and those who were just horrified.

## The party's over[edit]

The final post on the blog, dated to October 31st, 2013, explicitly stated the blog was an example of Poe's law in action, though the author stated[4][dead link] he did mix in his own beliefs. So, that's it, folks.
