There's a Christian version of Wikipedia, jam-packed with hilarity, like the below definition:

Homosexual
From Christopedia, the Christian encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Another term for gay, which is another term for Got Aids Yet.

That's for real, folks.

Here's the link

Wow, I wish I hadn't clicked on the link. No sources cited anywhere, they've lost all credibility.

I don't know whether I'm horrified, amused, or both.

At what point did they have credibility to lose? That's like saying I lost ten million dollars.

You think there is a source you could cite to prove the inferiority of Negroes?

Oh, for crap's sake.

This is a joke, right? This isn't a real Christian site.

It's sad that I'm not sure.

Nope, Christopedia is real. There are plenty of parody/fake websites, like the magnificent Landover Baptist Church website.

I'm not a fan of religion, but this site doesn't really represent Christian values. It's nothing more than racist propaganda using the "Christian" tag as a hook.

It might as well be the KKK.

this is hilarious. or tragic. i'm not sure.

It's not consistently like that. The Ellen DeGeneres entry (just on a cursory scan) reads like a regular Wikipedia entry.

I'd say it is enough like that for it to be a problem. Go to the main page and read their featured article on Obama. And check out the little note in their In The News section:

"Vatican Heretic Defends Evolution Against 'Useless' Creationism. A professor at a Vatican-sponsored university expressed dismay that traditional Christians reject the Godless theory of evolution — implicitly criticizing the literal interpretation of the Bible."

Anyone can create an account and edit the pages. Any suggestions for what the Homosexual page should say?

Stop deluding yourselves. Anyone who thinks this is real is obviously stupid. Just because you want it to be real, doesn't mean that it is.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 10/6/09 at 11:48am

Well it certainly doesn't seem imaginary, Judas.

[JudasIscariot]

Posted: 10/6/09 at 11:50am

Roscoe, for all we know you could have gone on and edited the articles yourself. It's obviously not supported by the majority of Christians, and we written by someone looking for laughs.

[Roscoe]

How is it obvious? Can you find anything on the site itself to indicate that it is a parody? I'm not finding anything. If you can show me anything to indicate that it is just a big joke like Landover Baptist, I'll gladly mark this thread for deletion.

Oh my! It appears someone appended the Christian definition of homosexuality to ensure accuracy and credibility.

[JudasIscariot]

Posted: 10/6/09 at 11:59am

Why would I need to show you proof when it's obviously a joke or just some sexually frustrated teenager in their mom's basement?

For wanting respect and tolerance, you sure seem to preach a lot of hate.

Judas, it isn't obvious to me that it is a joke. I'm asking you to please provide some evidence that it is a joke or some frustrated teenager in a basement. I'll gladly apologize for posting this thread and mark it for deletion if I'm wrong.

LOL. Really? Get back to me in 2000 years and tell me which group preaches the most hate.

Generally a quick Google search can tell you if something like this is a fake or not. I see no proof out there to indicate it.

Where's the proof, Phyllis?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 10/6/09 at 12:11pm

Sorry! I meant NO proof. Fixed!

I'm not sure what "real" or "fake" means for something like this.

It doesn't claim to be sponsored by any particular church or organization.
