==I don't even know what to say about this article...==
I was going to leave Conservapedia but when I see this kind of article, I just can't. Conservative, do you know that you are becoming very offensive? 
I heard that you were always eager to debate. I have a lot of questions about christianity & atheism that I would like to discuss. Would you be willing to answer my questions ?--[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 16:56, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

== Absolutely revolting. Andy Schlafly, please put an end to this. ==

Disgusted. As a Christian I am reviled by this. There are no links that support what this Peter Singer said, merely heresy from another website which doesn't state its sources. Then it is taken to paint a group of people in the same stripe. Absolutely immoral, unsupported filth. [[User:MaxFletcher|MaxFletcher]] 17:14, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

:What's next? '''''Atheism and mastur<nowiki />bation'''''? Oh wait, [[Conservapedia:Deletedpage|mastur<nowiki />bation]] is a naughty word - even the spam-filter doesn't like it. Bestiality should be added to the list! [[User:RonLar|RonLar]] 17:15, 22 September 2011 (EDT)
::Yeah this is really bad, not that anything else this user has done has been that much better. -1 for lack of fatty fat fat ad hominems and lack of bunny photos. --[[User:MarkN85|MarkN85]] 17:20, 22 September 2011 (EDT)
::: I suggest [[Atheism and Mass Murder]] or [[Atheism and evolutionary racism | Atheism and Racism]]. Oh wait, it already exists ! That's just great encyclopedic content ! And so objective by the way !--[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 17:22, 22 September 2011 (EDT)
::::I saw your response and noticed that you started it off with "I suggest..." so I stopped reading it, but here's an article on flying cats instead. --[[User:MarkN85|MarkN85]] 17:23, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

Can I be a sysop if I copy/paste my "essays" on at least twenty different pages (and then some)? I promise to write them at a third grade level.

Talk:Essay: Penn Jillette, here is the evidence you claim you need to debate me

MarkN85: /* What if.... */

== What if.... ==

Penn Jillette would only challenge you to a video debate? [[User:MaxFletcher|MaxFletcher]] 21:38, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
:Given the [[atheism|weakness of atheism]], I would be surprised if Penn Jillette formally debates a Bible believer on the existence of God by November 20, 2011. Conservapedia also said, "if Jillette declines to debate Conservapedia we certainly strongly encourage him to seek out the strongest Bible believer opponent who is willing to publicly debate him concerning the existence of God". With that being said, "The written debate will be between Penn Jillette and two atheists of his choosing and myself and two Christians of my choosing. I prefer written debates as I believe they offer the audience the maximum amount of information to render a decision. Oral debates are often subject to the participants' memories and also do not allow additional research to be done on particular points. (Please see: [[Essay: Conservapedia's challenge to atheist Penn Jillette|Conservapedia's challenge to atheist Penn Jillette]])."[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 21:52, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
::''Oral debates are often subject to the participants memories and also do not allow additional research to be done on particular points'' Not so because if I were to reply to a video on youtube for example I can always go back to it and have just as much time to do research as I would if it were written. If Penn offered a video debate would you accept? [[User:MaxFletcher|MaxFletcher]] 21:57, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
:::His medium seems to be primarily video, and yours primarily writing. You've already got the advantage with the terms. [[User:WesleyS|WesleyS]][[User Talk:WesleyS|Hello!]] 21:58, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
::::But you cant re-edit yourself fifty times in 20 seconds to correctly spell two words during a video debate. --[[User:MarkN85|MarkN85]] 22:00, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
