March for Our Lives

TheAntiWikipedian: added reference to age of protesters

'''March for Our Lives (MFOL)''' is a [[leftist]] organization similar to [[Women's March]] that is best known for organizing its namesake [[protest]] on 24 March 2018, with the main event taking place in [[Washington D.C.]] and similar protests being held all over the [[United States]]. MFOL, whose main goal was to push for stricter [[gun control]], was founded in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting, a tragedy which was extensively used by the [[mainstream media]] to advocate against the [[second amendment]]. MFOL also stood for other [[liberal]] positions (such as opposition to [[Donald Trump]]), though to a lesser degree. After the protests concluded, MFOL faded somewhat into obscurity.

MFOL's initial run was marked by a hefty amount of anti-[[NRA]] rhetoric in the media,<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2018/03/25/after-march-for-our-lives-students-and-senators-take-aim-at-nra/</ref>as well as a major focus on the activism of anti-gun Stoneman Douglas survivors such as David Hogg and Emma González. Meanwhile, pro-second amendment survivors like Kyle Kashuv were ignored almost entirely.

MFOL and its advocates also presented [[Generation Z|Gen Z]] as a generation unified in favor of stricter gun laws,<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/march-for-our-lives-2018_n_5ab69787e4b008c9e5f7cf8f?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALesb2mzuWk10UFH1Xucq6zU7o4thKD5CYg5DvCly7d35XyvDA-EcIIn1ejsRdQQ18ET0ggYA83fa2PDMSMsI5as0F64i2BfQ0Hg73qAyYoK87XDNQ4A_ljFZC0rlsdrxYK0Bdlg8Jb7F4uaVCdn4f-SGGjTopo5P1gMI_DICuQO</ref> though surveys tend to indicate younger generations are not actually any more likely to support gun control than their elders.<ref>https://www.npr.org/2018/02/24/588069946/millennials-are-no-more-liberal-on-gun-control-than-elders-polls-show</ref> Additionally, it was found that only 10% of participants in the protest were 18 years of age or younger, with the average age of attendees being just under 49.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/03/28/heres-who-actually-attended-the-march-for-our-lives-no-it-wasnt-mostly-young-people</ref>

==Aftermath==
While the protests achieved a large turnout and were continuously praised by [[Democratic Party]] officials and news outlets, it is difficult to demonstrate anything that was actually accomplished by the activism in the long term.

The official website<ref>https://marchforourlives.com/</ref> and [[social media]] accounts set up for MFOL are still active, and are now mainly dedicated to encouraging voter registration as well as supporting other left-wing endeavors, such as the 2020 [[Black Lives Matter]] protests.

Dual-covenant theology

2020-06-19T22:08:12Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Created page with "'''Dual-covenant theology''' or '''two-covenant theology''' is a belief espoused by some Christians that the covenant of the Old Testament still applies to [[Jews]..."

'''Dual-covenant theology''' or '''two-covenant theology''' is a belief espoused by some [[Christians]] that the [[covenant]] of the [[Old Testament]] still applies to [[Jews]], while [[Jesus]]' new covenant is meant for [[gentiles]]. Proponents of the dual-covenant view tend to be indifferent toward or even opposed to [[evangelism|evangelizing]] to the Jewish people, often saying that "Jews don't need Jesus".

Dual-covenant beliefs are opposed to the traditional Christian (and [[Messianic Judaism|Messianic Jewish]]) view that Jesus is the Jewish [[messiah]] as foretold in the Old Testament. While a relatively new invention within Christian circles, Jewish [[theologians]] have promoted a dual-covenant way of thinking for centuries, typically in response to Christian attempts at proselytizing.

Expose Racists

2020-06-18T21:36:39Z

TheAntiWikipedian:

'''"Expose Racists"''' refers to numerous [[left-wing]] extremist [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] groups/pages which became popular in 2020 following the death of [[George Floyd]], existing as an online extension of the [[2020 Antifa riots]] and [[black lives matter]] protests. The groups/pages are explicitly pro-[[bullying]] and anti-[[free speech]], existing solely to encourage the [[harassment]] of people who post even vaguely [[politically incorrect]] content. Likewise, these groups exist in violation of their respective websites' community standards, and should be reported to site staff as such.

Not all pages that fall into this category are actually called "Expose Racists", though they tend to use variations of this title. "EXPOSE RACISTS+ 2020" <ref>https://www.facebook.com/groups/184096139543207/</ref> is the most prominent group of this type.

==Activities==
''Expose Racists'' activity typically consists of [[social media]] users posting screenshots of "bigoted" users' politically incorrect posts so that fellow group members can harass them via DM, attack their profiles, or contact their workplace in hope of getting them [[fired]]. The "offenses" of the harassed users can range from use of racial slurs to (more commonly) the making of simple [[conservative]] posts, such as those respectfully defending [[traditional marriage]] or the continued existence of [[Confederate]] monuments for historical purposes.

''EXPOSE RACISTS+ 2020'' has attacked [[white]] swimmers who wore [[African]]-patterned swimsuits for "virtual [[blackface]]", and has defended a woman who was arrested for purposely getting Antifa [[terrorists]] to attack her own parents.

==''Expose Racists'' in the Media==
Despite their hateful tactics, such activity has been praised or defended by [[mainstream media]] for promoting "accountability".<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/06/callout-culture-black-lives-matter-adidas-bon-appetit-lea-michele/613054/</ref> [[Disney Channel]] actress Skai Jackson has openly promoted and taken part in ''Expose Racists''' brand of [[cyberbullying]], though she attempts to make excuses for why it isn't actually bullying. <ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8395807/Skai-Jackson-exposes-teen-racists-Twitter-believe-people-ignorant.html</ref>

Not all pages that fall into this category are actually called "Expose Racists", though they tend to use variations of this title. "EXPOSE RACISTS+ 2020" <ref>https://www.facebook.com/groups/184096139543207/</ref> is the most prominent group of this type.

==Activities==
''Expose Racists'' activity typically consists of [[social media]] users posting screenshots of "bigoted" users' politically incorrect posts so that fellow group members can harass them via DM, attack their profiles, or contact their workplace in hope of getting them [[fired]]. The "offenses" of the harassed users can range from use of racial slurs to the making of simple posts respectfully defending [[traditional marriage]] or the continued existence of [[Confederate]] monuments for historical purposes.

''EXPOSE RACISTS+ 2020'' has has attacked [[white]] swimmers who wore [[African]]-patterned swimsuits for "virtual [[blackface]]", and has defended a woman who was arrested for purposely getting Antifa [[terrorists]] to attack her own parents.

==''Expose Racists'' in the Media==
Despite their hateful tactics, such activity has been praised or defended by [[mainstream media]] for promoting "accountability".<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/06/callout-culture-black-lives-matter-adidas-bon-appetit-lea-michele/613054/</ref> [[Disney Channel]] actress Skai Jackson has openly promoted and taken part in ''Expose Racists''' brand of [[cyberbullying]], though she attempts to make excuses for why it isn't actually bullying. <ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8395807/Skai-Jackson-exposes-teen-racists-Twitter-believe-people-ignorant.html</ref>

Kehinde Wiley

2020-06-18T02:03:14Z

TheAntiWikipedian:

'''Kehinde Wiley''' (born February 28, 1977) is an American [[portrait]] [[painter]] who specializes in [[baroque]]-inspired portraits of [[African-American]] subjects, with some of which featuring macabre and negative depictions of [[white people]]<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kehinde-wiley-painted-black-woman-severed-head/</ref>. In 2017, former President [[Barack Obama]] commissioned Wiley to paint his own portrait for the [[Smithsonian]] National Portrait Gallery, a choice which was highly criticized given Wiley's history of creating [[racist]] paintings.

==Obama Portrait==
Widely mistaken for the official Presidential portrait of Obama, Wiley's portrait for the Smithsonian features the former President seated in a wooden chair and superimposed over a background of various foliage meant to represent Obama's heritage and past residency. The portrait was unveiled by Obama and Wiley at the National Portrait Gallery on February 12, 2018, along with Amy Sherald's portrait of [[Michelle Obama]]. <ref>https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/12/politics/obama-portrait-unveiling/index.html</ref>

The portrait was unveiled to much fanfare and praise in the [[mainstream media]], with commentators and journalists saluting the work as "powerful" and praising Wiley for his depictions of Obama and other black Americans<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/kehinde-wiley-on-painting-president-obama-michael-jackson-and-the-people-of-ferguson</ref>.

==Racist Artwork==
Prior to painting Obama's portrait, Wiley was little-known outside of art circles in [[New York]], [[Los Angeles]], and [[Seattle]], with his 2005 painting "Napoleon Leading the Army Across the Alps" (an African-American take on "[[Napoleon]] Crossing the Alps") perhaps being his most famous work.
With the unveiling of the Obama portrait, however, many came to find that Wiley had twice painted depictions of black women [[beheading]] white women, with both paintings having been completed in 2012. While this fact caused significant [[controversy]] on [[social media]], mainstream news sources either ignored it or attempted to make excuses<ref>https://indyweek.com/news/recent-backlash-kehinde-wiley-s-work-ncma-gets-wrong-art-s-past-present/</ref>, pointing out that the paintings were meant to depict [[Judith]] beheading [[Holofernes]] in the [[Bible]], a tidbit which does not explain why "Holofernes" is depicted as a woman and caucasian.
Furthermore, Wiley himself has referred to the beheading paintings as "kill whitey" paintings<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/artists/obama-portrait-painterkehinde-wileys-past-work-depicted-black/</ref>. It is not clear how Obama became aware of Wiley's art, nor his opinions on Wiley's racist past.

==Kehinde Wiley and Liberal Hypocrisy==
Kehinde Wiley's paintings (and their subsequent public response) can be seen as illustrating [[liberal hypocrisy]] in at least two different ways. For one, they show the mainstream media's willingness to ignore blatant racism (the "kill whitey" paintings) when it doesn't help to further their agenda, and they also showcase a willingness to ignore what would have otherwise been considered "[[cultural appropriation]]" (Wiley's revisionist depictions of people of other cultures and ethnicities as conforming to his own, as in the case of the Napoleon painting).

Fatima

TheAntiWikipedian: Minor cleanup and additions

[[Image:Fatima2.jpg|right]]
'''Fátima''' is a town in central [[Portugal]] that is famous among [[Roman Catholics]] for being the site of the "Our Lady of Fatima" [[Marian Apparition|apparitions]], in which [[Mary]] is believed to have appeared to three shepherd children, revealing secrets to them that pertained to coming wars and persecutions of the church. Fátima attracts thousands of religious [[pilgrims]] each year and features a Neo-Baroque limestone basilica and an esplanade twice the size of St. Peter's Square in [[Rome]].<ref>Eyewitness travel guides: Portugal, first American edition. Ferdie McDonald (editor). page 184. DK Publishing. 1997.</ref>

==Angelic Apparitions, 1916==
In the spring of 1916, three shepherd children: Lucia dos Santos, age nine and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, ages eight and six, were tending their sheep on a patch of land called the Cabeco. While they were playing a game of pebbles, a strong wind moved through, revealing a transparent figure of a young man hovering over the olive trees. The young man said to them: "Do not be afraid. I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me."<ref>Our Lady Comes to Fatima. page 3. Leaflet Missal Company. 1987.</ref> The angel knelt on the ground and asked the children to repeat after him: "My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You." After repeating the prayer three times, he arose and before he departed, he told the children: "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."<ref>ibid. page 4.</ref>

The children were silent about the apparition but for awhile, prayed the Angel's prayer regularly. By the summer of 1916, they had begun to pray less. One day while playing by a well, the Angel appeared again and asked what they were doing? He told them that the most holy hearts of [[Jesus]] and [[Mary]] had designs of mercy for them. They were to offer prayers and sacrifices to [[God]] as an act of reparation for the sins by which He was most offended and, to accept and bear with submission the suffering the [[Lord]] would send them.<ref>ibid. pages 4-5.</ref>

The third and final appearance of the Angel came in the fall of 1916. Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta were in the Cabeco, praying the Angel's prayer when he appeared to them, holding a chalice in his hands with a Host above it, from which drops of Blood fell into the chalice. This time, he instructed the children to say: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners."<ref>ibid. page 5.</ref> The angel then gave the Host to Lucia and the Blood to Jacinta and Francisco.

==Marian Apparitions, 1917==
On Sunday, May 13, 1917, the children were tending their sheep in another patch of land called the Cova da Iria. Seeing what they thought was a flash of lightning, they started to return home when they noticed a Lady, radiantly dressed in white, hovering over a small holmoak tree. She told them not to be afraid, that she was from Heaven and wanted them to come to the Cova da Iria for six months in succession on the 13th day. She asked the children to pray the [[Rosary]] every day, in order to obtain peace for the world and an end to the first world war, which was taking place at the time.<ref>Fatima in Lucia's own words (15th edition). Fr. Louis Kondor, SVD, editor. Secretariado Dos Pastorinhos, Fatima, Portugal. pages 174-176.</ref>
[[Image:Fatima.jpg|left]]
On July 13, 1917, Our Lady told the children: "Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times especially whenever you make a sacrifice: O Jesus, it is for the love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."<ref>ibid. page 178.</ref> As she spoke those last words, she opened her hands and pointed to an opening in the ground. The children saw a vision of hell where demons and souls in human form, burned like embers and shrieked with pain and despair. Our Lady told them: "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart."<ref>ibid</ref>"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of [[Russia]] to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays.<ref>Letter from Sister Lucia dos Santos, transcribed by Rev. Fr. José Bernrdo Gonçalves, S.J. June 13, 1929.</ref> If my request are heeded, [[Russia]] will be converted and there will be peace.<ref>Letter from Sister Lucia dos Santos, transcribed by Rev. Fr. José Bernrdo Gonçalves, S.J. June 13, 1929.</ref> If not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate [[Russia]] to me and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.<ref>Fatima in Lucia's own words (15th edition). Fr. Louis Kondor, SVD, editor. Secretariado Dos Pastorinhos, Fatima, Portugal. pages 179.</ref> When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need."<ref>ibid</ref>

The children faced much ridicule from their parents, the townspeople and even faced arrest and intimidation from the local authorities. However, increasing numbers of people did believe and accompanied them on their journeys to the Cova da Iria when they received the apparitions. Our Lady promised the children that on the 13th of October, she would perform a miracle for those who did not believe.

==Miracle in the Field, 1917==
On October 13, 1917, a crowd of thousands gathered with Lucia, Francisco and Lucia in the rainy field. Our Lady told the children that she wanted a chapel to be built on the site in her honor; she called herself the Lady of the Rosary. She asked them to continue to pray the [[Rosary]] every day. "The war is going to end," she told them, "and the soldiers will soon return to their homes.'<ref>ibid. page 182.</ref> Our Lady departed from the children and Lucia told the crowd to look at the sun. The people gathered in the Cova da Iria saw the sun turn into a huge silver disk. It spun like a wheel of fire, then rotated, casting hues of color onto the crowd below. Then, the sun fell from its orbit toward the earth, causing many people to make acts of contrition, thinking it was the end of the world. The sun though retracted and left the rain-soaked crowd dry and many of those who had arrived with infirmities, cured.<ref>Our Lady Comes to Fatima. page 31. Leaflet Missal Company. 1987.</ref> ''O Seculo'', a free-thinking newspaper would report, "...the sun has trembled...unprecedented and outside of all cosmic laws - the sun has danced..."<ref>O Seculo. October 15, 1917.</ref>

==Aftermath==
Francisco died on April 4, 1919 from bronchial influenza<ref>Our Lady Comes to Fatima. page 34. Leaflet Missal Company. 1987.</ref> and Jacinta died February 20, 1920 following complications from pleurisy.<ref>ibid. page 39.</ref> Lucia became a nun and continued to receive apparitions from Our Lady and Jesus. She lived to be 97 and passed away on February 13, 2005 at the Carmelite Convent in Coimbra, [[Portugal]].<ref>http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=35248</ref>

Today, Fatima is one of the world's most visited Marian sites. The site of the apparitions of Our Lady in the Cova da Iria is now called the Capelinha. During the evenings, the [[Rosary]] is said by visiting pilgrims from all over the world and a candlelight procession in the esplanade follows.

Church Fathers

2020-06-17T18:10:13Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Page creation

'''"Church fathers"''' is a loosely-defined term which is used to refer to early [[Christian]] [[theologians]] whose writings<ref>http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/churchfathers.html</ref> and teachings are considered by some to be authoritative in defining and defending Christian [[theology]] and practices. Much reverence is given to them in the [[Roman Catholic]] and [[Eastern Orthodox]] traditions, while the more [[protestant]] and [[evangelical]] sects tend to disregard their opinions in favor of [[sola scriptura]] ([[Bible]] as the only authority).

[[Image:Augustine of Hippo.jpg|right|thumb|[[St. Augustine]] of Hippo]]

While there are fathers as late as the 8th century, church fathers are often divided into "Ante-Nicene"(prior to the [[Council of Nicaea]], 325 A.D.) and "Post-Nicene" (after the council) categories,<ref>https://www.ccel.org/fathers</ref> with the former often considered particularly important (though many later fathers are highly revered as well). Even more revered among them are the ''Apostolic fathers'', fathers of the 1st and 2nd centuries who are believed to have personally known some of the [[apostles]].

The writings of the fathers are often used as a reference point for determining what is considered [[orthodox]], with authoritative documents like the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]] making heavy use of their writings.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2020-06-17T17:13:25Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Minor expansion

The '''''Catechism of the Catholic Church''''' ([[Latin]]: ''Catechismus Catholicae Ecclesiae'', commonly called simply '''"Catechism"''' or '''"CCC"''') is an official document from the [[Vatican]] that details the religious beliefs of the [[Catholic Church]] in book form. The current catechism was approved and endorsed by [[Pope John Paul II]] in 1992, and is considered the most universal and authoritative Catholic catechism since the ''Roman Catechism'' (or ''"Trent Catechism"'') of 1566.

The Catechism does not have a single author, but is instead made up of excerpts of writings from [[saints]] and the [[church fathers]]. It is organized by topic and arranged into numbered sections for ease of access, not unlike the system of chapters and verses in the [[Bible]].

March for Our Lives

TheAntiWikipedian: added category

'''March for Our Lives (MFOL)''' is a [[leftist]] organization similar to [[Women's March]] that is best known for organizing its namesake [[protest]] on 24 March 2018, with the main event taking place in [[Washington D.C.]] and similar protests being held all over the [[United States]]. MFOL, whose main goal was to push for stricter [[gun control]], was founded in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting, a tragedy which was extensively used by the [[mainstream media]] to advocate against the [[second amendment]]. MFOL also stood for other [[liberal]] positions (such as opposition to [[Donald Trump]]), though to a lesser degree. After the protests concluded, MFOL faded somewhat into obscurity.

MFOL's initial run was marked by a hefty amount of anti-[[NRA]] rhetoric in the media,<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2018/03/25/after-march-for-our-lives-students-and-senators-take-aim-at-nra/</ref>as well as a major focus on the activism of anti-gun Stoneman Douglas survivors such as David Hogg and Emma González. Meanwhile, pro-second amendment survivors like Kyle Kashuv were ignored almost entirely.

MFOL and its advocates also presented [[Generation Z|Gen Z]] as a generation unified in favor of stricter gun laws,<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/march-for-our-lives-2018_n_5ab69787e4b008c9e5f7cf8f?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALesb2mzuWk10UFH1Xucq6zU7o4thKD5CYg5DvCly7d35XyvDA-EcIIn1ejsRdQQ18ET0ggYA83fa2PDMSMsI5as0F64i2BfQ0Hg73qAyYoK87XDNQ4A_ljFZC0rlsdrxYK0Bdlg8Jb7F4uaVCdn4f-SGGjTopo5P1gMI_DICuQO</ref> though surveys tend to indicate younger generations are not actually any more likely to support gun control than their elders.<ref>https://www.npr.org/2018/02/24/588069946/millennials-are-no-more-liberal-on-gun-control-than-elders-polls-show</ref>

Our Lady of Guadalupe

2020-06-14T23:34:20Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Cleanup and Expansion

[[File:guadalupe..jpg|thumb|Artist's rendition of Our Lady of Guadalupe, based on the venerated image.]]

'''Our Lady of Guadalupe''' (also called the ''Virgin of Guadalupe, Empress of the Americas, or The Brown Lady'') is the name given to a series of five reported [[Marian Apparition|Marian apparitions]] as well as a venerated image on a cloak currently enshrined within the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in [[Mexico City]]. The Guadalupe apparitions are among the most famous of those approved by the [[Catholic Church]].

The image associated with the apparitions, believed to have been given directly to the seer by Mary, is an important symbol of [[Mexico]] and Mexican identity, and is venerated by [[Roman Catholics]] all around the world.

==The Apparitions==
===First Apparition===
According to tradition, [[Mary]] first appeared to indigenous Mexican Juan Diego (formerly Cuauhtlatoatzin) on December 9, 1531 at the Hill of Tepeyac as he was on his way to a Saturday morning [[mass]] at a nearby church.

Heavenly music filled the air as Mary appeared in a cloud, dressed like an Aztec princess and speaking in Diego’s own language. She identified herself and instructed that a chapel be built on the location of her appearance.

===Second Apparition===
After the first apparition, Juan Diego sought out the archbishop of Mexico City in order to inform him of what he had been told. The bishop was quick to reject Diego’s story, and Diego would go on to see Mary for a second time, telling him to keep insisting.

===Third Apparition===
On December 10, Diego spoke with the archbishop again, to which he was instructed to ask Mary for a physical sign of her appearance that can be accepted by the church. Diego then returned to Tepeyac and experienced the third apparition, in which Mary consented to provide something tangible on the following day.

===Fourth Apparition===
By December 11, Diego’s uncle Juan Bernardino had grown seriously ill, so Diego chose to tend to him rather than meet with Mary for a fourth time. On the following day, Bernardino’s condition had worsened to the point that Diego was ready to seek out a [[priest]] to minister to him on his deathbed. Though Diego set out on a different route in order to avoid Mary, he was intercepted by her and asked where he was going.

Upon Diego's admission, Mary gently rebuked him and assured him Bernardino had just made a full recovery. She instructed him to bring flowers from the top of Tepeyac hill (which was typically barren in the winter), where he would find non-native Castillan roses. Mary arranged the flowers in Diego's cloak, and upon Diego's returning to the bishop, the flowers fell from the cloak to reveal the image of Mary on the fabric.

===Fifth Apparition===
On December 13, the recovered Juan Bernardino described having also witnessed an apparition of Mary, and having been told by her to inform the bishop of what he had seen and that she desired to be known by the name "Guadalupe".

==The Image==
Currently enshrined at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, the original image believed to have been given to Juan Diego by Mary is preserved behind glass above the altar. Many Catholic sources have attested to the cloak’s supernatural or miraculous qualities, such as:

* The fabric’s maintaining its structural integrity for nearly 500 years in spite of exposure to soot, candle wax, incense, and the fact that it was displayed for its first 115 years without any protective covering, while replicas are described as typically enduring for only around 15 years in similar conditions.
* The image repairing itself with no external assistance after an incident in which nitric acid was spilled on its top right in 1791.
* The image taking no damage from a November 14, 1921 [[secularist]] bomb attack, which damaged the altar of the basilica as well as other items, but did not affect the cloak.<ref>https://denvercatholic.org/lady-guadalupe-numbers/</ref>
* Biochemist Richard Kuhn analyzed a sample of the fabric in 1936 and announced that the pigments used in the creation of the image come from no known earthly source, whether animal, mineral, vegetable, etc.
* An infrared light inspection by Dr. Philip Serna Callahan found that portions of the face, hands, robe, and mantle were painted in one step, with no visible corrections, sketches, or brush strokes.<ref>https://cruxnow.com/faith/2014/12/four-awesome-facts-about-our-lady-of-guadalupe/</ref>
* Photographers in 1929 and 1951 claimed to have noticed a figure reflected in Mary’s eyes which tripled upon inspection in what is called the Purkinje effect (commonly observed in human eyes). Opthalmologist Jose Aste Tonsmann later enlarged an image of Mary’s eyes by 2500x and claimed to have found the aforementioned single figure as well as the images of others, variously believed to be either the witnesses present when the cloak was first revealed in 1531, or the images of a family - 13 or 14 people in all.<ref>https://www.catholiceducation.org/en/culture/catholic-contributions/science-sees-what-mary-saw-from-juan-diegos-tilma.html</ref>

Miracle

2020-06-14T22:45:03Z

TheAntiWikipedian: added link

A '''miracle''' is an extraordinary, favorable event which apparently defies the laws of nature and science, <ref>https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/miracle</ref> indicating divine intervention in human affairs.<ref name="M-W 09">Merriam-Webster's dictionary (2009)</ref> The term is also sometimes used to exaggeratedly describe some unusual event, thing, or accomplishment with no divine intervention.<ref name="M-W 09">Merriam-Webster's dictionary (2009)</ref>

The Catholic definition of miracle is a "sensibly perceptible effect, surpassing at least the powers of visible nature, produced by God to witness to some truth or testify to someone's sanctity."<ref>John A. Hardon, S.J., "A Modern Catholic Dictionary" (1999).</ref>

Other definitions include:

: a remarkably good event that has no plausible scientific explanation
: an extremely unlikely occurrence consistent with [[faith]] or [[prayer]]
: a joyous happening contrary to all reasonable expectation
: "a violation of the laws of nature" ([[David Hume]])

Though the term "miracle" can often be heard from Christians and non-Christians alike, the entire [[Bible]] only contains one genuine reference to "miracle" and that was a quote of a non-believer (the Pharaoh) in Exodus 7:9 (RSV): "When Pharaoh says to you, 'Prove yourselves by working a '''miracle''',' then you shall say to Aaron, 'Take your rod and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.'"

Under [[Christianity]] and [[Judaism]], God is truth and a miracle is nothing more than a "sign" of the truth. "Miracle" is the non-believer's term for what believers properly describe as a "sign", a term that does appear repeatedly in the [[Bible]]. The scholar [[Chad Walsh]] echoes [[C.S. Lewis]]—''Miracles: A Preliminary Study''(1947, Macmillan)—when he states that no other religion bases its ideas upon miracles as much as does Christianity. Its foundation is the [[Incarnation]].<ref>''C.S. Lewis: Apostle to the Skeptics'', Chad Walsh, Macmillian company, 1949, page 34</ref>

==History==
There are many cases of miracles recorded in the Bible, some of which are confirmed by other, non-biblical (or religious) books. They were commonly used under the [[Old Testament]] to prove the validity of a prophet or the power of God.

Under the [[New Testament]], there were also a number of miracles performed, by Jesus and his disciples. The first '''miracle''' by [[Jesus]] was at a traditional [[marriage]], as described at John 2:1. He continued to perform miracles (sometimes referred to as "signs and wonders") regularly throughout the three years of his public ministry. Crowds gathered and followed Jesus, seeking to witness of benefit from his miracles, many of which were quite astounding, and some of which were slightly humorous. His disciples also, both during and after Jesus' ministry performed miracles of their own, through the power of God. As the early church grew and progressed, miracles were present for a time, although over time they lessened. By the end of the time recorded in the New Testament books of the Bible, miracles were seemed to be petering out. Church history indicates that they came almost to an end by around 600 A.D.

In recent history, however, there are still occurrences of what seem to be miracles. This is particularly the case in parts of the world which were hearing the gospel for the first time. Even today in remote parts of the world, miracles are sometimes reported. However, for the most part, they seem to have come to an end. They served their purpose to prove God's power and the truth of the message. However, they were (and perhaps are) a means to a different end.

== Arguments against the Existence of Miracles ==

Skeptics would say that miracles are simply improbable stuff happening and because there are billions of people on the planet, the odds of finding numerous stories of improbable happenings interpreted as miracles increases. This, however, along with many other atheistic arguments invokes a logical fallacy. The [[Gambler's fallacy|Gambler's Fallacy]] states that the more one tries something, the more likely an event will happen. In reality, if one spins a roulette wheel (presuming the wheel is not rigged), the odds of it landing on one number will always be exactly the same every time.

The fact is in order for a skeptic to dismiss miracles, they must literally accuse thousands upon thousands of people of either lying, or hallucinating. The probability of 100 percent of the witnesses matching this description is questionable at best. One example would be the documented miracle at Fatima where thousands of people saw the sun explode and then come back together. Skeptics argue that no one outside the area of the town recorded this but this is using the logical fallacy that absence of evidence is evidence of absence. Also, the probability of thousands of people lying needs to be called into question.

Some skeptics ask why God chooses not to cure amputees, but this begins with the false assumption that God has never done this before. In addition:
*Jesus is historically documented in the Bible as reattaching an ear to a Roman soldier.
*Many of the lepers that Jesus chose to cure also had missing body parts.
*If God chose to cure everyone, then no one would ever die, yet God has said that it is appointed for man once to die, and after that the Judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
*The argument ignores how losing a limb is, in most cases, not life-threatening.
*The argument also ignores the fact that God has inspired doctors to develop the technology for artificial limbs, technology which has improved from a simple attachment to highly sophisticated limbs which are nearly to the level of real ones.
*Also, in most instances where the loss of limbs occurs, there is almost no one of faith in proximity willing to attempt to even try and amend the separated limb to the amputee. Therefore, the opportunity for documented cases of this kind to occur is rare, though some such incidents have been reported in foreign countries. Jesus says, ''For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move.'' (Matthew 17:20).

=== Studies confirming the efficacy of prayer for Christians ===

The Christian apologist [[Gary Habermas]] wrote: "Double-blind prayer experiments: where people pray for others with terminal illness. Habermas admitted that most such experiments have not worked, but the three that he knows of that have indeed worked were cases of orthodox-Christians praying for the sick."<ref>[http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-apologist-10-reasons-for-the-fall-of-atheism-106531/ Christian Apologist: 10 Reasons for the Fall of Atheism] by [[Gary Habermas]]</ref>

==Miracles approved by the [[Congregation for the Causes of Saints]]==
The catholic church has approved a select list of miracles which they believe to be genuine. These are listed below.

*Stigmata (and other signs) of [[St. Francis of Assisi]]
*Prophecies and miraculous apparitions of [[Saint Bernadette|St. Bernadette]]
*Apparition of the [[Mary|Blessed Virgin Mary]] at Fatima on the 13th day of six consecutive months in 1917, starting on 13 May.
*Stigmata, bilocation, levitation and prophecy of [[Padre Pio|St. Pio of Pietrelcina]] (born Francesco Frocione)
*Blood miracle of [[St. Januarius]] (also known as St. Gennaro)
*The Virgin of the tears: 1953, Syracuse (Sicily) - A statue of the Virgin Mary produces real human tears.

Ariana Grande

2020-06-14T22:37:56Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Cleanup and expansion

'''Ariana Grande-Butera''' (born June 26, 1993), known professionally as '''Ariana Grande''', is a widely successful American [[actress]] and [[pop music|pop]] [[singer]]. Like most mainstream music figures, she describes herself as a [[liberal]] [[feminist]] and is an active supporter of the [[homosexual agenda]] (she also has a homosexual brother) and [[abortion]]. She has a history of attending [[left-wing]]
[[protest|protests]] and events, occasionally performing for attendees.

On 22 May 2017, an [[Islamic]] [[terrorist]] attack at the [[Manchester]] Arena killed twenty-three people and wounded 139 others during an Ariana Grande concert, becoming the most deadly terror attack ever in the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/europe/manchester-arena-incident/index.html</ref>Ironically, the attack took place shortly after Grande made statements expressing sympathy for Islam.

==Anti-Americanism and Disregard for Fans==
Grande has shown that she has very little regard for her own fans, having decided to no-show a cancer fundraising event in [[Los Angeles]] where she was set to do meet-and-greet photo sessions with fans,<ref name="Ariana Grande">[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2760170/Ariana-Grande-said-hoped-fans-f-ing-die.html Ariana Grande 'overheard saying she hoped her fans would all ******* die'] at the Daily Mail</ref> as well as saying that she wished her fans "would die”.<ref name="Ariana Grande"/>

In another incident caught on camera, she was caught saying that she actually hates her own country of [[United States of America|America]] and its citizens, instead expressing sympathy for [[Islam]],<ref>[http://theblacksphere.net/2017/05/ariana-grande-tried-to-hide-sick-thing-she-said-about-her-fing-fans-before-22-of-them-were-killed-at-her-concert/ Ariana Grande’s Prophetic and Pathetic Remarks] at the Black Sphere</ref> only to backtrack and make excuses for those comments when they came to light. Grande's ill-considered comments came shortly before British native and [[Islamic terrorism|Islamic terrorist]] Salman Ramadan Abedi launched a suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England following her concert there on May 22, 2017, which led to the deaths of 22 people at the event (including seven children).<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/26/manchester-arena-bombing-salman-abedi-latest-updates/ Manchester bombing latest: Investigation making 'immense' progress as police 'get hold of 'large part of terror network'] at the Telegraph</ref><ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/23/victims-manchester-terror-attack/ Who are the victims of the Manchester terror attack?] at the Telegraph</ref>

==Political Activism==

She has also appeared at Gay Pride events, such as Dance On the Pier in [[New York City]], and once donated the proceeds from one of her concerts to [[Planned Parenthood]] in response to [[pro-life]] legislation that had then recently been passed in several states.<ref>https://variety.com/2019/music/news/ariana-grande-donates-profits-from-atlanta-concert-to-planned-parenthood-1203240940/</ref>

==Religion==
Grande was raised [[Roman Catholic]] but left the church (along with her brother) during the papacy of [[Benedict XVI]], citing the church’s opposition to homosexuality as her reason for abandoning the faith.

She and her brother have since embraced [[Kabbalah]], a form of [[Jewish]] [[mysticism]]. Ironically (and perhaps unbeknownst to Grande), Judaism has the same [[leviticus|scriptural laws]] about homosexuality as does Catholicism.<ref>https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/ariana-grande-credits-kabbalah-for-her-success</ref>It should also be noted that defending Islam while advocating pro-homosexual causes is a famous example of [[liberal hypocrisy]].

Marian Apparition

2020-06-14T19:32:26Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Page creation

In [[Roman Catholicism]], a ‘’’Marian apparition’’’ is a reported supernatural appearance, or series of appearances, of [[Mary]]. Numerous such appearances have been reported over the centuries, some of which have been officially approved by the Catholic Church, which has strict guidelines in place for assessment of such claims. Sites of Marian apparitions, especially those approved by the church, tend to become shrines and places of [[pilgrimage]].

[[File:Imagen_original_Virgen_de_Guadalupe_JMR.jpg|thumb|Image of Mary in the Basilica of Guadalupe, believed to have been given to Juan Diego during an apparition.]]

Typically, specific appearances are given titles, such as the case of [[Our Lady of Guadalupe]] and [[Our Lady of Fátima]], two of the most famous reported apparitions. Apparitions of Mary tend to be private revelations (witnessed only by one person or a handful of people, called “seers”), though some cases have involved the witness of massive crowds. Commonly, seers describe receiving spoken revelation or demands from Mary, though some reported apparitions have remained entirely silent.

The [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]] states that “private revelations” such as Marian apparitions “do not belong to the deposit of faith”, so it is widely accepted that Catholics are free to accept or deny the validity of the apparitions whilst still remaining in good standing with the church.<ref>https://legatus.org/are-catholics-obliged-to-believe-in-marian-apparitions/</ref>

==Process for Approval==
Reports of Marian Apparitions are rigorously investigated by the Catholic Church before a decision of judgement is made on their authenticity. In each case, the local bishop appoints a committee to take testimony, investigate, study, and report back on their findings. According to the [[University of Dayton]], apparitions are evaluated based on the following guidelines:<ref>https://udayton.edu/imri/mary/a/apparitions-approval-process.php</ref>

# The facts in the case are free of error.
# The person(s) receiving the messages is/are psychologically balanced, honest, moral, sincere and respectful of church authority.
# Doctrinal errors are not attributed to God, Our Lady or to a saint.
# Theological and spiritual doctrines presented are free of error.
# Moneymaking is not a motive involved in the events.
# Healthy religious devotion and spiritual fruits result, with no evidence of collective hysteria.

==Apparitions approved by the Catholic Church==
===Positive Judgement===
The following reported apparitions have been approved with “positive judgement” from the Roman Catholic Church, meaning they have been declared “worthy of belief” by the [[bishop]] presiding over the area in which they occurred. Apparition titles in '''bold''' denote those that have been approved by the [[Holy See]] and endorsed for widespread veneration.

* '''Our Lady of Guadalupe''' ([[Mexico]], 1531)
* Our Lady of the Good Event ([[Ecuador]], 1594-1634)
* Our Lady of Laus ([[France]], 1664-1718)

* Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás ([[Argentina]], 1983-1990)

===Positive Judgement of Related Effects===
The following reported apparitions were not particularly granted positive judgement themselves, but other effects and aspects surrounding them were approved. This kind of distinction doesn’t necessarily mean the apparitions are considered to be false, but rather that they haven’t fully met the strict standards of scrutiny, or predated the Catholic Church’s system for approval of apparitions and can’t be investigated.

* Madonna of the Miracle ([[Italy]], 1842) - Contemporaneous miracle approved after [[Jewish]] man converts to Catholicism after reportedly seeing an apparition of Mary.

* Our Lady of the Pillar ([[Spain]], 40) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of Walsingham ([[England]], 1061) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of Mount Carmel (England, 1251) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of the Watch (Italy, 1490) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of Good Health ([[India]], 1570 and 1587) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of Šiluva ([[Lithuania]]. 1608) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of La Vang ([[Vietnam]], 1798) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of Pellevoisin (France, 1876) - Approved for public veneration.
* Our Lady of Prayer (France, 1947) - Approved for public veneration.

* Our Lady of Medjugorje ([[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], 1981-Present) - Approved for public pilgrimages, but not veneration.

==Apparitions not approved by the Catholic Church==
===No Judgement===
These reported apparitions have not received any judgement, positive or negative, by the Catholic Church. This list is incomplete, as dozens (or perhaps even hundreds) have fallen into this category.

* Our Lady of the Universe (United States, 1945)
* Our Lady of Soufanieh ([[Syria]], 1982-1983)

===Neutral Judgement===
The following reported apparitions have been evaluated, but were neither approved nor rejected.

* Our Lady of Mount Carmel of Garabandal (Spain, 1961-1965)
* Our Lady of America (United States, 1956-1959)

===Negative Judgement===
The following reported apparitions have been officially rejected by the Catholic Church.

* Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace ([[Philippines]], 1948)

==Apparitions Approved by the Coptic Orthodox Church==
[[Egypt]]’s [[Coptic Church]] has similarly approved a small handful of Marian apparitions of their own, all of which are reported to have taken place in Egypt. So far, all cases in this category have been mass apparitions (viewed and reported by thousands) taking place in or around a church, and have been silent.

* Our Lady of Zeitoun (1968)
* Our Lady of Assiut (2000-2001)
* Our Lady of Warraq (2009)

Elmer Fudd

2020-06-12T20:39:29Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Added segment regarding 2020 gun control controversy

[[File:Elmer Fudd driving (early version).jpg|200px|thumbnail|The early version of Elmer Fudd]]
[[File:Elmer Fudd hunting rabbits.jpg|200px|thumbnail|The later version of Elmer Fudd, who is hunting rabbits]]
'''Elmer J. Fudd''' was the original enemy of [[Bugs Bunny]]. Like [[Wile E. Coyote]], Fudd was almost always an antagonist in the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoons. Only in early cartoons was he generally a more passive character who was pestered by [[Bugs Bunny]] who at that time tended to be more hostile. However, Once the characters evolved somewhat he was usually portrayed as an eager, irascible hunter who is generally not very smart. Occasionally, however, he was given another role such as an actor or millionaire.

==History==
Elmer Fudd was introduced in the late 1930s, and was used for several decades. In the 1950s, usage of this character slacked off, largely because Arthur Q. Bryan, the voice of Fudd, died in 1959. A few attempts have been made to substitute his voice with another, but none have been entirely successful.<ref>http://www.toonopedia.com/elmer.htm</ref>

==Gun Control Controversy==
In 2020, it was announced that Fudd's shotgun would no longer appear in the new series ''[[Looney Tunes Cartoons]]'' and would instead by replaced by a scythe, with executive producer Peter Browngardt stating in an interview "we're not doing guns, Elmer and [[Yosemite Sam|Sam]] are no longer packing".<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/film/shortcuts/2020/jun/08/were-not-doing-guns-elmer-fudd-loses-his-wight-to-bear-arms</ref>This decision to remove [[firearms]] from ''Looney Tunes'' came in the wake of [[Black Lives Matter]] protests (which are typically paired with calls for stricter [[gun control]]) sparked by the death of [[George Floyd]], though Floyd's death did not involve the use of firearms.

Many [[second amendment]] advocates saw this decision as a cop-out and attempt at [[virtue signalling]], and the change was heavily lambasted on [[social media]]. ''Looney Tunes Cartoons'' writer Michael Ruocco defended the decision in a Twitter thread. <ref>https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/looney-tunes-writer-slams-complaints-elmer-fudd-shotgun-095146837.html</ref>

George Burke

2020-06-12T00:12:58Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Added "History" section

Abbot '''George Burke''', self-styled as '''Swami Nirmalananda Giri''', is an American [[yogi]] and [[author]] who teaches a strange, [[heretical]] synthesis<ref>https://ocoy.org/original-christianity/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN32BRCCARIsADZ-J4uiItxOwksviDe-GQ6I5ikxYF1yjZSoHCqCafvHBCxlH-c9C8glaYEaAjPHEALw_wcB</ref> of [[Hinduism]] and [[Christianity]] (with some [[Taoist]] and [[Buddhist]] elements) which he falsely dubs ''“Original Christianity"''. It is Burke’s opinion that [[Jesus]] was actually a magical Sanatana [[Dharma]] missionary from [[India]] who attempted to bring Hinduism to [[Judea]], and that he returned to India after the [[resurrection]] to live out the rest of his life in the [[Himalayas]], an idea pioneered by a handful of 20th century Hindu monastics who sought to convert Christians to their cause.
Burke builds upon this idea by teaching his own version of Christian history, one that is built on speculation and several completely made-up stories.

While referring to himself as a Christian, Burke generally ignores the [[Bible]] and promotes Hindu scriptures such as the [[Upanishads]] and [[Bhagavad Gita]] instead, though affirming the apocryphal [[Gospel of Thomas]], a proto-[[gnostic]] text which most scholars believe to be a forgery from the 2nd or 3rd century. Burke also alleges that the Saint Thomas Christians (an ancient Christian community in India founded by [[Thomas the Apostle]]) espoused similar views confirming Hinduism, though other sources make no mention of this supposed Hindu connection.

Ordained by the [[Liberal Catholic Church]] as a priest in 1974 and a bishop in 1975, Burke lives in a Cedar Crest, [[New Mexico]] home dubbed “Light of the Spirit Monastery” (though it seems very few other “monks” live there), a cabin extensively decorated with [[Orthodox Christian]] icons as well as statues of [[Krishna]], Buddha, and others. <ref>https://ocoy.org/light-of-the-spirit-monastery/</ref>

==History==
Information regarding Burke's religious and monastic history is sparse, but Fr. Anthony Nelson of the Russian Orthodox Church paints an image of him as a sort of [[cult]] leader who has founded "monasteries" and "convents" in various American states since the 1970s, leading his followers in [[occult]] practices and frequently forcing massive denominational and doctrinal changes on them as he goes along.

According to Nelson, Burke got his start as a monk in the Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Monastery in [[Boston]] (after experimenting with [[Roman Catholicism]] and other Christian denominations) before fleeing to [[Oklahoma City]] to start his own Hindu-inspired monastic community with a small handful of misled followers of both genders. After tiring of Hinduism, Burke moved his group to [[Austin]] and refashioned them as the "Holy Protection Old Catholic Benedictine Monastery of the Primitive Observance" until 1981 when they were again refashioned into the "Holy Protection Orthodox Monastery". Burke's group would only remain Eastern Orthodox until the mid-1980s, when they would again refashion themselves as Coptic Christians, going so far as to invite actual Egyptian Copts to their monastery under false claims of Apostolic Succession.

It was during this "Coptic" phase when Nelson would come to visit them in person, finding them in the middle of a Hindu-inspired ritual in which they were offering fruits and flowers to icons of Jesus and [[Mary]]. Nelson describes a second, "secret" chapel on the monastery premises in which Burke would lead his followers in the worship of [[demons]] and other black magic practices, an activity which caused some of Burke's followers to abandon his monastery altogether in favor of more traditional expressions of Christianity.

Burke's monastery would eventually relocate and refashion themselves again by the 1990s, becoming [[Gnostic]] and settling in [[Nebraska]] as the "Light of Christ Monastery".

Nelson's writing also describe Burke as a [[tarot card]] enthusiast and self-described reincarnated Catholic Bishop and Christian [[martyr]]. <ref>http://orthodoxinfo.com/general/monasteryicons.aspx</ref>

=="Original Christianity"==
Dubbed “Original Christianity” in order to sound legitimate, Burke's teachings are fairly unique among heresies in that they represent an attempt to completely re-frame the history and goal of Jesus in order to fit another existing religion. [[irony|Ironically]], believing in Burke’s teachings means believing that Jesus was a failure, having attempted to bring Hinduism and dharma to the [[Jewish]] people, but effectively starting a completely new [[monotheistic]], [[Abrahamic religion|Abrahamic]] religious group instead. Some examples of Burke’s strange teachings from his website include:

* The Jews of Jesus’ day taught “gilgul” or [[reincarnation]], and therefore it is “automatically passed” into Christian theology as well (in actuality, gilgul was one of many ideas of the [[afterlife]] considered by ancient Jewish mystics, and was only ever a minority opinion).
* The story of [[Adam and Eve]] demonstrates “the intimate relationship between diet and consciousness” and is one of the reasons why we should be [[vegetarian]].
* The apocryphal “Odes of Solomon” were actually personally written by Jesus and passed down through his apostles.
* When the [[Apostle Paul]] refers to “the scriptures”, he’s actually talking about Hindu scriptures or another apocryphal work.
* Other forms of Christianity (aka forms that don’t teach Hinduism) are bad and corrupt, having been shaped by people like [[Constantine]] (ironically, a similar argument is sometimes used by [[protestants]] to attack [[catholicism]]).
* Thomas was a “Spiritual Twin” of Jesus, and the only apostle that correctly understood his teachings. Likewise, he wrote the Gospel of Thomas and founded his church upon it.
* Thomas visited the Essene people of Qumran (authors of the dead sea scrolls) and influenced them.
* Jesus was actually descended from the Essenes, who were basically Middle Eastern Hindus according to Burke.
* Ancient Jews worshipped [[Shiva]], but this fact was obscured over time. According to Burke, Catholic mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich was once healed by crystal idols of Shiva brought to her by the angels.
* Anointing oil mentioned in the Bible is actually Himalayan Balsam.
* Jesus rigorously studied the Bhagavad Gita and practiced yoga while studying in Benares, India. While in [[Israel]], he quoted the Gita in his public discourses. Burke’s website goes on to tell what Hindu order Jesus belonged to, what cities and monasteries he visited in India, the influence Buddhism had on him, why he had to flee to the Himalayas, etc.

It should be noted that all of these teachings are, at best, completely based on speculation and [[wishful thinking]] on Burke’s part, or are at worst, a completely intentional fabrication, as he effectively attempts to write an alternate history of Christianity.
Given the overwhelming detail of Burke’s story of Jesus’ life in India, it seems most rational to assume Burke is intentionally lying, as he provides no sources or corroboration for any of his claims.

Burke’s views regarding Jesus, Thomas, the Essenes, Ancient Jews, and a supposed instance of Shiva healing a Catholic mystic, are all unique to his teachings and cannot be found anywhere else. Neither in any spiritual community, nor within the confines of secular scholarship.

==Reception==
While it is likely that Burke’s target demographic is Christians, his attempts to convert them to his way of thinking seem to have been essentially fruitless. Instead, Burke’s books seem to attract a western demographic that are already interested in eastern religions (similar to “Hare Krishnas”).

Burke’s reception among strict Hindus has been lukewarm to negative, with some Hindu teachers accusing him of trying to use a Hindu facade to spread Christianity among budding Hindus.<ref>http://www.vijayvaani.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=628</ref>

Proud Boys

TheAntiWikipedian: New Article

The '''Proud Boys''' are an international [[conservative]] or [[paleoconservative]] fraternal organization formerly led by [[Rebel News]] personality and Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes. Proud Boys describe themselves as "western chauvinists" and espouse pro-[[second amendment]], pro-[[free speech]], anti-[[illegal immigration]], and anti-[[racist]] views.<ref>https://officialproudboys.com/proud-boys/whoaretheproudboys/</ref> Proud Boys tend to gather among themselves to hang out at [[restaurants]] or [[bars]], and also attend political events either in support of or in opposition to other groups. They can typically be identified by their black and yellow Polo shirts.

==Media Bias==
Proud Boys have been vehemently mischaracterized and slandered by the [[liberal]] [[mainstream media]], perhaps more so than any other single conservative organization in recent times. Most news outlets characterize the Proud Boys as [[white supremacist]], [[alt-right]], and [[fascist]], as well as accusing them of promoting political [[violence]]. [[Wikipedia]] holds strongly to this warped view,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys</ref>while hypocritically characterizing [[Antifa]], an [[anarchist]] [[terrorist]] faction, as mere "political activists".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)</ref>It is likely Wikipedia holds this view as a result of parroting the [[left-wing]] [[Southern Poverty Law Center]], a notoriously dishonest organization which Wikipedia tends to use as a source.

In actuality, the Proud Boys are a multiracial group (which even some liberal outlets have noted<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-young-men-of-color-are-joining-white-supremacist-groups</ref>) and have continually denounced the Alt-Right, to the point that actual Alt-Right groups often attack them and their founder as well. The [[FBI]] has declared the Proud Boys are not extremist or terroristic.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/12/08/fbi-says-proud-boys-are-not-an-extremist-group-after-all/</ref>

Liberal Catholic Church

2020-06-03T17:47:04Z

TheAntiWikipedian: clarification

The '''Liberal Catholic Church''' ('''LCC''') was founded 13 February 1916 in Australia by [[James Ingall Wedgwood]] (1883-1951) and [[Charles Webster Leadbeater]] (1847-1934), both of them enthusiastic [[Theosophical Society|Theosophists]] and self-proclaimed [[Psychic|clairvoyants]]. Despite its name there is no link to the [[Roman Catholic Church]], and the designation "Liberal" refers to its independence from Catholicism.

Liberal Catholic Church teachings are [[Gnosticism|gnostic]], [[Neoplatonism|neo-platonist]] and [[Universalism|universalist]], and include the practice of “sacramental [[magic]]” and the doctrine of [[reincarnation]]. The '''LCC''' offers a [[Heresy|re-interpretation]] of [[Christianity]]. The doctrine of judgment and salvation at the end of only one single human lifetime<ref>Hebrews 9:27 "And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment" RSV</ref>, is replaced by “liberation from the need for rebirth” after many lifetimes. The doctrine of the unmerited divine gift of the free grace of rescue from the consequences of [[sin]] through the redemptive sacrifice of [[Jesus Christ]] as Lord, is replaced by “the just and educative reaping” of whatever had been sown in earlier human incarnations under “an inviolable law of cause of effect”, also called the “Law of Karma.”

From its inception, the LCC has insisted on its “essentially Christian character”. Whatever other common ground its representatives might point out<ref>See [[Fallacy of analogy]]</ref>, from the beginning its doctrinal teachings built on Theosophical foundations were inevitably seen by the orthodox as non-Christian, or as anti-Christian (and most extremely as the [[satan]]ic [[deceit]]s of the [[Antichrist]] straight out of the pits of hell). As mentioned above, LCC groups have embraced eastern religious concepts such as karma and reincarnation, and there has been at least [[George Burke|one instance]] of an LCC bishop openly promoting [[Hinduism]] with a Christian facade.

The Liberal Catholic Church combines revisions of the rituals of Catholicism with teachings more in common with [[Plotinus]] and the Neo-platonic Christianity of ancient Alexandria, than with the current doctrines of any of the mainstream churches. Both of the founding bishops, J. I. Wedgwood and C. W. Leadbeater, and their associates, were deeply committed members of the Esoteric School of Theosophy, and were actively involved in the work of the Theosophical Society under the powerful influence of [[Annie Besant]], then its International President. Wedgewood, after having spent a very strenuous term as General Secretary (national administrator) of the Theosophical Society in the United Kingdom, in 1916 in Australia joined the much older C. W. Leadbeater, who had long been a close associate and trusted colleague of Annie Besant, with whom he had co-authored a number of major theosophical treatises, to build the foundations of the new church. Leadbeater had lectured for the Theoosphical Society in several countries, and had written extensively on theosophical themes, often emphasizing “the hidden side of things.” The LCC official ''Statement of Principles'' opens with the words, “The Liberal Catholic Church exists to forward Christ’s work in the world.”
==History==
In the late 19th century, many English Christians, mainly [[Anglican Communion|Anglicans]], who had newly become affiliated with the Theosophical Society, were unwelcome in the churches where they had been worshiping. They sought a place of Christian worship, along with freedom of interpretation, in the English branch of the European Old Catholic Church, centered upon [[Utrecht]] in the Netherlands.
===Old Catholic Church===
The [[Old Catholic Church]] itself had been formed when Dutch “Old Roman Catholics,” independent from Rome since 1724, had combined with the hundreds of thousands of European Catholics who rejected the doctrine of the Papal Infallibility proclaimed at the [[First Vatican Council]] (1871). The members of this resulting Christian Communion declared themselves to be “Old Catholics” as distinct from those Catholics who accepted the [[dogma]] of the doctrine of the [[Papal Infallibility|infallibility]] of the Bishop of Rome when speaking [[Ex cathedra|ex-Cathedra]] on questions of faith and morals.

===Arnold Harris Mathew===
The Old Catholic bishops, convinced that substantial numbers of disgruntled English Catholics were eager to give allegiance to Utrecht, consecrated [[Arnold Harris Mathew]] as bishop in charge of their new English branch. Mathew, an urbane, cultivated and deeply devotional Englishman who had served for a long time as a legitimately ordained priest in the Catholic church, and for a shorter time in the Anglican Church, was full of hope for the new English venture. However, the Old Catholic bishops and their new English colleague were all disappointed, for their expectation of an immediate flow of eager new members was not realized. When numbers did begin to grow, a few years later, almost all of those entering were those Anglican theosophists who had been unwelcome in their churches, who were seeking to continue their participation in the sacramental life of the Church without having to conceal their theosophical convictions. Mathew made them welcome. First came the young James Wedgwood, soon to followed by increasing numbers of his theosophical colleagues, including Charles Leadbeater. But Mathew's maturing plan to return to Rome, bringing his congregation with him, led him to realize how unacceptable his theosophically tainted flock would be. He was given an ultimatum to withdraw from the Theosophical Society or from the Old Catholic Church, a dilemma which left him stranded, without popular support.

===James Wedgewood===
The vast majority of Mathew's people at once gathered separately, and they chose James Wedgwood as their leader. Some time later a retired Old Catholic bishop, hearing of Mathew’s reversal, offered to regularize the separated group’s position by consecrating their elected leader. The consecration of James Wedgwood on February 13, 1916 is regarded as the foundation date of the new Church, to be known later in September 1918 as the Liberal Catholic Church.

Wedgwood prepared some foundational documents (Constitution and Rules for Clergy, Statement of Principles), secured approval for them from his English colleagues, and set off for Australia to enlist Charles Webster Leadbeater’s help in devising a new liturgy, building congregations, and finding suitable candidates for Holy Orders. Having already in 1915 interested Leadbeater in the potential for good of the Old Catholic Church, both men were convinced that the blessing of Christ Himself rested upon their work. Leadbeater lamented the absence of his colleague Annie Besant In a letter to her, saying, “Your splendid gift of language, your wonderful power of putting things poetically, would be invaluable to us.”

===Charles Webster Leadbeater===
Leadbeater himself, like Mathew, had much earlier been an Anglican priest. James Wedgwood then re-ordained Leadbeater “conditionally” through all steps up to the priesthood, then consecrated him as Regionary Bishop for Australasia. During the formative years of their church Leadbeater built a firm base in Sydney, while Wedgwood traveled at intervals in New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom, in each of these countries establishing new centers, and ordaining suitable candidates for Holy Orders. Wedgwood was seen as an inspiring ceremonialist and speaker, and as an effective organizer. Wedgwood and Leadbeater then prepared an entire liturgy of services, with frequent recourse to their self-proclaimed capacities of extra-sensory perception in order to evaluate their intuitive sense of the effects of their liturgical innovations in the “inner worlds.” Possibly Wedgewood's most lasting contribution, however, is in the liturgy to which he was the primary contributor, revealing a gift for language of a very high order. To Leadbeater, Wedgwood accorded the credit for the careful “supersensory observations” which guided their joint efforts. However, their actual principal models were current Roman Catholic rituals of worship in the ''[[Rituale Romanum]]'', but they wrote in English, and in a style almost identical to the Anglican ''[[Book of Common Prayer]]''. Copies of parts of their revisions of liturgical forms, and especially of the Holy Eucharist, had been circulating in the growing Liberal Catholic community from as early as 1917. The Liberal Catholic Church liturgy was officially published in 1919. In this respect it must be pointed out that although Wedgwood may not have had “the extraordinary powers of his colleague”, his own observations were by no means commonplace. He is now known to be the principal author of what have long been referred to as “the Kollerstrom Notes” in Leadbeater’s 1929 edition of his 1920 publication, ''The Science of the Sacraments''. It is firmly held by most Liberal Catholics that the founding bishops were inspired and guided in their building of the new Liturgy by Christ Himself. This is essentially the definition of divinely-inspired scripture. It is also widely acknowledged by them that these founders' use of capabilities of supersensory observation enabled them to arrange the various services to maximize the flow of spiritual power or grace, by the precisely exacting, [[Alchemy|spiritual alchemical]] forms of the “proper performance” of the rites of worship.
===Protest and opposition===
The existing strength and established membership of the Theosophical Society were essential to the initial rapid growth of the Liberal Catholic Church. But protest and opposition arose in Australia and spread to the USA. On hearing that Leadbeater, [[Defamation|rumor]]ed to be a notorious [[Pedophilia|paedophile]], had moved from India to Sydney, in Australia his long-time adversaries advised authorities there that an evil man had entered their jurisdiction. A police investigation was initiated with a view to gathering evidence against him. Then, a newspaper campaign directed scorn and innuendo at the new church and its leaders, fueled in part by Theosophical Society members hostile to the Liberal Catholic Church. There is also no established certain connection of Leadbeater with British [[Occult|occultist]] [[Aleister Crowley]], the founder of [[Thelema]], other than as a possible acquaintance. Police enquiries and press attacks continued intermittently for some years before the police stopped looking for evidence and the newspapers lost interest. Liberal Catholic Church membership remains small wherever its churches are found, yet it maintains a nominal presence in almost every country around the world.

[[Walter Martin]]'s ''[[The Kingdom of the Cults]]'' lists the Liberal Catholic Church as a [[cult]].<ref>[https://believersweb.org/view.cfm?ID=587 Walter Martin, ''Kingdom of the Cults'', Part B]</ref>

==Current Doctrine==
===Scriptural interpretation===
Lay members are free to interpret Scripture and all matters of doctrine as they choose, informed by the theosophical Wisdom Tradition as the prevailing approach within the Liberal Catholic community. A wide range of viewpoints is found in most congregations but not to the extent of displacing Christian [[esoteric]]ism. Members are free to believe as they choose, unity of purpose arising from sharing a common [[liturgy]]. Nevertheless, most are informally comfortable with the Church’s brief ''Summary of Doctrine''.
===Statement of Principles and Summary of Doctrine===
However, all Liberal Catholic Clergy are themselves expected to formally indicate their “general agreement” with the Statement of Principles and Summary of Doctrine. The Liberal Catholic Church Summary of Doctrine, although amended slightly after 1958, remains into the 1990’s very much a claim to be the Ancient Wisdom clothed in Christian terms. This document affirms both the unity of God who is said to manifest in the Universe as a Trinity, and the latent divinity gradually finding expression in all human lives. Christ is “a mighty spiritual presence in the world”, the compassionate guide and guardian of humanity. Humans are ultimately perfectible, as they are reborn again and again under “an inviolable law of cause and effect”, and therefore a company of “just men made perfect who help mankind”, and also a ministry of powerful [[angel]]s. The LCC continues to be seductively hospitable to all who are attracted to its churches, asking only that they participate with reverence. Emphasis is on the “freedom of the spirit.”
===Revised Sacraments===
The Liberal Catholic Church revisions of the seven historic sacraments are offered within the LCC, with emphasis on the Holy Eucharist, or Mass. Both founding LCC bishops believed that the principal [[Alchemy|alchemical]] purpose of each Eucharist is to erect an esoteric, spiritual structural form<ref>C. W. Leadbeater, ''Science of the Sacraments''</ref> to infallibly call down a prodigious blessing which spreads irresistibly outward and upon the neighborhood and throughout the whole surrounding geographic region as the service ends. The benefit to those participating, while believed to be very great, is instead generally accepted by clergy and members as incidental to the main purpose of the service: the purification and uplifting of all mankind. This messianic sense of purpose engenders in the membership an [[elitism]] that can be intoxicating.
===Apostolic succession===
[[Apostolic succession]] is highly prized. The independently irregular transmission of Holy Orders in the Liberal Catholic Church by Old Catholic bishops in Utrecht, according to the Augustinian theory of Holy Orders, beginning with the consecration of Arnold Harris Mathew, is continued in the Liberal Catholic Church by what is held to be a linear apostolic succession of validly consecrated Liberal Catholic bishops, whose consecration is firmly rejected by the [[Holy See]] and the Patriarchates of [[Orthodox Church|Orthodoxy]]. Great care is taken in the selection of new bishops, who are discerned as having attained a high degree of spiritual wisdom achieved over many lifetimes. Those consecrated are expected to maintain a disciplined and somewhat [[Ascesis|ascetic]] lifestyle. In addition to their sacramental and teaching roles, the bishops are seen as transmitting Christ’s blessing by radiant spiritual energy flowing through them to all whom they contact.
===Structure===
====Bishops====
The Liberal Catholic Church is governed by approximately thirty-five bishops, their number varying, sometimes more, sometimes less, who meet as a General Episcopal Synod every few years (similar in purpose to the [[Lambeth Conference]] of the [[Anglican Communion]] and the [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints#General Conference|General Council of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]]). An elected Presiding Bishop is the chief executive officer and the Convenor of Synods. He is assisted by established regular committees which deal with administrative and judicial matters between Synods.

====Provinces====
The worldwide LCC is divided into 20 provinces, each under a Regionary Bishop, and a number of lesser populated territories, each supervised by an appointed administrator. Clergy are trained both practically, ''in situ'', and with the aid of correspondence courses offered by the ''Liberal Catholic Institute of Studies''. These courses are not yet widely translated into languages other than English and are not evenly supported by individual '''LCC''' Regionary Bishops.
====Unpaid clergy====
LCC Clergy are unpaid. They either hold secular occupations or are retired. Only men are admitted to major orders, but recently women servers have been introduced in many provinces. No charges are made for any services rendered. Donations (for example, after weddings or baptisms) are generally accepted, but are never requested.
===Doctrinal pressures===
Today the LCC is a small communion of a few thousand members, scattered over the globe, quietly re-examining its role in the world. It continues its claim to offer sacramental grace in a pure form, and the “Ageless Wisdom” in terms understandable and more acceptable within an ostensibly Christian context. While there are always pressures to become more popular, more Christian, more modern, more orthodox or more colloquial, most Liberal Catholics are resolved that the LCC must remain true to its founders, and, more important, to the clairvoyant Esoteric Source of their inspiration, the [[Cosmic Christ]].

==Liberal Catholic Movement==
The Universal Catholic Church, founded in 2013, and freely supportive of the [[Homosexual rights advocacy|LGBT]] agenda, is a member of the Liberal Catholic Movement.

The Liberal Catholic Church International (LCCI) is a Christian church with headquarters in Casa Grande, Arizona, USA. While it derives its apostolic succession from the Old Catholic Church, the LCCI is today not in full communion with either the Utrecht Union, or the Roman Catholic Church, and differs with them theologically in several important respects.

Police enquiries and press attacks continued intermittently for some years before the police stopped looking for evidence and the newspapers lost interest. Liberal Catholic Church membership remains small wherever its churches are found, yet it maintains a nominal presence in almost every country around the world.

[[Walter Martin]]'s ''[[The Kingdom of the Cults]]'' lists the Liberal Catholic Church as a [[cult]].<ref>[https://believersweb.org/view.cfm?ID=587 Walter Martin, ''Kingdom of the Cults'', Part B]</ref>

==Current Doctrine==
===Scriptural interpretation===
Lay members are free to interpret Scripture and all matters of doctrine as they choose, informed by the theosophical Wisdom Tradition as the prevailing approach within the Liberal Catholic community. A wide range of viewpoints is found in most congregations but not to the extent of displacing Christian [[esoteric]]ism. Members are free to believe as they choose, unity of purpose arising from sharing a common [[liturgy]]. Nevertheless, most are informally comfortable with the Church’s brief ''Summary of Doctrine''.
===Statement of Principles and Summary of Doctrine===
However, all Liberal Catholic Clergy are themselves expected to formally indicate their “general agreement” with the Statement of Principles and Summary of Doctrine. The Liberal Catholic Church Summary of Doctrine, although amended slightly after 1958, remains into the 1990’s very much a claim to be the Ancient Wisdom clothed in Christian terms. This document affirms both the unity of God who is said to manifest in the Universe as a Trinity, and the latent divinity gradually finding expression in all human lives. Christ is “a mighty spiritual presence in the world”, the compassionate guide and guardian of humanity. Humans are ultimately perfectible, as they are reborn again and again under “an inviolable law of cause and effect”, and therefore a company of “just men made perfect who help mankind”, and also a ministry of powerful [[angel]]s. The LCC continues to be seductively hospitable to all who are attracted to its churches, asking only that they participate with reverence. Emphasis is on the “freedom of the spirit.”
===Revised Sacraments===
The Liberal Catholic Church revisions of the seven historic sacraments are offered within the LCC, with emphasis on the Holy Eucharist, or Mass. Both founding LCC bishops believed that the principal [[Alchemy|alchemical]] purpose of each Eucharist is to erect an esoteric, spiritual structural form<ref>C. W. Leadbeater, ''Science of the Sacraments''</ref> to infallibly call down a prodigious blessing which spreads irresistibly outward and upon the neighborhood and throughout the whole surrounding geographic region as the service ends. The benefit to those participating, while believed to be very great, is instead generally accepted by clergy and members as incidental to the main purpose of the service: the purification and uplifting of all mankind. This messianic sense of purpose engenders in the membership an [[elitism]] that can be intoxicating.
===Apostolic succession===
[[Apostolic succession]] is highly prized. The independently irregular transmission of Holy Orders in the Liberal Catholic Church by Old Catholic bishops in Utrecht, according to the Augustinian theory of Holy Orders, beginning with the consecration of Arnold Harris Mathew, is continued in the Liberal Catholic Church by what is held to be a linear apostolic succession of validly consecrated Liberal Catholic bishops, whose consecration is firmly rejected by the [[Holy See]] and the Patriarchates of [[Orthodox Church|Orthodoxy]]. Great care is taken in the selection of new bishops, who are discerned as having attained a high degree of spiritual wisdom achieved over many lifetimes. Those consecrated are expected to maintain a disciplined and somewhat [[Ascesis|ascetic]] lifestyle. In addition to their sacramental and teaching roles, the bishops are seen as transmitting Christ’s blessing by radiant spiritual energy flowing through them to all whom they contact.
===Structure===
====Bishops====
The Liberal Catholic Church is governed by approximately thirty-five bishops, their number varying, sometimes more, sometimes less, who meet as a General Episcopal Synod every few years (similar in purpose to the [[Lambeth Conference]] of the [[Anglican Communion]] and the [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints#General Conference|General Council of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]]). An elected Presiding Bishop is the chief executive officer and the Convenor of Synods. He is assisted by established regular committees which deal with administrative and judicial matters between Synods.

====Provinces====
The worldwide LCC is divided into 20 provinces, each under a Regionary Bishop, and a number of lesser populated territories, each supervised by an appointed administrator. Clergy are trained both practically, ''in situ'', and with the aid of correspondence courses offered by the ''Liberal Catholic Institute of Studies''. These courses are not yet widely translated into languages other than English and are not evenly supported by individual '''LCC''' Regionary Bishops.
====Unpaid clergy====
LCC Clergy are unpaid. They either hold secular occupations or are retired. Only men are admitted to major orders, but recently women servers have been introduced in many provinces. No charges are made for any services rendered. Donations (for example, after weddings or baptisms) are generally accepted, but are never requested.
===Doctrinal pressures===
Today the LCC is a small communion of a few thousand members, scattered over the globe, quietly re-examining its role in the world. It continues its claim to offer sacramental grace in a pure form, and the “Ageless Wisdom” in terms understandable and more acceptable within an ostensibly Christian context. While there are always pressures to become more popular, more Christian, more modern, more orthodox or more colloquial, most Liberal Catholics are resolved that the LCC must remain true to its founders, and, more important, to the clairvoyant Esoteric Source of their inspiration, the [[Cosmic Christ]].

==Liberal Catholic Movement==
The Universal Catholic Church, founded in 2013, and freely supportive of the [[Homosexual rights advocacy|LGBT]] agenda, is a member of the Liberal Catholic Movement.

The Liberal Catholic Church International (LCCI) is a Christian church with headquarters in Casa Grande, Arizona, USA. While it derives its apostolic succession from the Old Catholic Church, the LCCI is today not in full communion with either the Utrecht Union, or the Roman Catholic Church, and differs with them theologically in several important respects.

TheAntiWikipedian: added reference

Abbot '''George Burke''', self-styled as '''Swami Nirmalananda Giri''', is an American [[yogi]] and [[author]] who teaches a strange, [[heretical]] synthesis<ref>https://ocoy.org/original-christianity/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN32BRCCARIsADZ-J4uiItxOwksviDe-GQ6I5ikxYF1yjZSoHCqCafvHBCxlH-c9C8glaYEaAjPHEALw_wcB</ref> of [[Hinduism]] and [[Christianity]] (with some [[Taoist]] and [[Buddhist]] elements) which he falsely dubs ''“Original Christianity"''. It is Burke’s opinion that [[Jesus]] was actually a magical Sanatana [[Dharma]] missionary from [[India]] who attempted to bring Hinduism to [[Judea]], and that he returned to India after the [[resurrection]] to live out the rest of his life in the [[Himalayas]], an idea pioneered by a handful of 20th century Hindu monastics who sought to convert Christians to their cause.
Burke builds upon this idea by teaching his own version of Christian history, one that is built on speculation and several completely made-up stories.

While referring to himself as a Christian, Burke generally ignores the [[Bible]] and promotes Hindu scriptures such as the [[Upanishads]] and [[Bhagavad Gita]] instead, though affirming the apocryphal [[Gospel of Thomas]], a proto-[[gnostic]] text which most scholars believe to be a forgery from the 2nd or 3rd century. Burke also alleges that the Saint Thomas Christians (an ancient Christian community in India founded by [[Thomas the Apostle]]) espoused similar views confirming Hinduism, though other sources make no mention of this supposed Hindu connection.

Ordained by the [[Liberal Catholic Church]] as a priest in 1974 and a bishop in 1975, Burke lives in a Cedar Crest, [[New Mexico]] home dubbed “Light of the Spirit Monastery” (though it seems very few, if any, other “monks” live there), a cabin extensively decorated with [[Orthodox Christian]] icons as well as statues of [[Krishna]], Buddha, and others. <ref>https://ocoy.org/light-of-the-spirit-monastery/</ref>

=="Original Christianity"==
Dubbed “Original Christianity” in order to sound legitimate, Burke's teachings are fairly unique among heresies in that they represent an attempt to completely re-frame the history and goal of Jesus in order to fit another existing religion. [[irony|Ironically]], believing in Burke’s teachings means believing that Jesus was a failure, having attempted to bring Hinduism and dharma to the [[Jewish]] people, but effectively starting a completely new [[monotheistic]], [[Abrahamic religion|Abrahamic]] religious group instead. Some examples of Burke’s strange teachings from his website include:

* The Jews of Jesus’ day taught “gilgul” or [[reincarnation]], and therefore it is “automatically passed” into Christian theology as well (in actuality, gilgul was one of many ideas of the [[afterlife]] considered by ancient Jewish mystics, and was only ever a minority opinion).
* The story of [[Adam and Eve]] demonstrates “the intimate relationship between diet and consciousness” and is one of the reasons why we should be [[vegetarian]].
* The apocryphal “Odes of Solomon” were actually personally written by Jesus and passed down through his apostles.
* When the [[Apostle Paul]] refers to “the scriptures”, he’s actually talking about Hindu scriptures or another apocryphal work.
* Other forms of Christianity (aka forms that don’t teach Hinduism) are bad and corrupt, having been shaped by people like [[Constantine]] (ironically, a similar argument is sometimes used by [[protestants]] to attack [[catholicism]]).
* Thomas was a “Spiritual Twin” of Jesus, and the only apostle that correctly understood his teachings. Likewise, he wrote the Gospel of Thomas and founded his church upon it.
* Thomas visited the Essene people of Qumran (authors of the dead sea scrolls) and influenced them.
* Jesus was actually descended from the Essenes, who were basically Middle Eastern Hindus according to Burke.
* Ancient Jews worshipped [[Shiva]], but this fact was obscured over time. According to Burke, Catholic mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich was once healed by crystal idols of Shiva brought to her by the angels.
* Anointing oil mentioned in the Bible is actually Himalayan Balsam.
* Jesus rigorously studied the Bhagavad Gita and practiced yoga while studying in Benares, India. While in [[Israel]], he quoted the Gita in his public discourses. Burke’s website goes on to tell what Hindu order Jesus belonged to, what cities and monasteries he visited in India, the influence Buddhism had on him, why he had to flee to the Himalayas, etc.

It should be noted that all of these teachings are, at best, completely based on speculation and [[wishful thinking]] on Burke’s part, or are at worst, a completely intentional fabrication, as he effectively attempts to write an alternate history of Christianity.
Given the overwhelming detail of Burke’s story of Jesus’ life in India, it seems most rational to assume Burke is intentionally lying, as he provides no sources or corroboration for any of his claims.

Burke’s views regarding Jesus, Thomas, the Essenes, Ancient Jews, and a supposed instance of Shiva healing a Catholic mystic, are all unique to his teachings and cannot be found anywhere else. Neither in any spiritual community, nor within the confines of secular scholarship.

==Reception==
While it is likely that Burke’s target demographic is Christians, his attempts to convert them to his way of thinking seem to have been essentially fruitless. Instead, Burke’s books seem to attract a western demographic that are already interested in eastern religions (similar to “Hare Krishnas”).

Burke’s reception among strict Hindus has been lukewarm to negative, with some Hindu teachers accusing him of trying to use a Hindu facade to spread Christianity among budding Hindus.<ref>http://www.vijayvaani.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=628</ref>

Gospel of Thomas

2020-06-03T01:03:49Z

TheAntiWikipedian: fixed link

The '''Gospel of Thomas''' is a unique apocryphal work that contains 114 verses of brief sayings attributed to [[Jesus]], most of which begin with the words "Jesus said". There are some parallels to the [[New Testament]] [[Gospels]], some areas that are contrary, and some areas of completely new creation. It is a "gospel" of sayings that is different in format from the gospels in the proper New Testament, which tell narratives of the life of Jesus.

Viewed by many as a [[gnostic]] or proto-gnostic work, the Gospel of Thomas contains some quotes which deviate dramatically from mainstream Christianity, including many [[misogynist]] sayings, a verse which seems to promote [[polytheism]], and a strange recurring teaching that women "must become men" in order to merit [[salvation]]. Likewise, the work was rejected by [[Cyril of Jerusalem]], an early [[theologian]] and [[Doctor of the Church]]. [[Hippolytus]] and [[Origen]] likewise make mention of a "gospel of Thomas" as not having biblical authority.

For many centuries, no surviving text was known. A complete [[Coptic]] text of the Gospel of Thomas was among those discovered in 1945 at [[Nag Hammadi]] in [[Egypt]]. Dated to sometime in the mid 4th Century, earlier fragments have been found that date to the end of the 2nd Century; its actual time of origin is unknown. It is not recognized as an authoritative text by any [[Christian]] denomination, but fascinates Biblical scholars who try to piece together its role in the workings of early Christianity.

Traditionalist Catholicism

2020-06-02T23:39:37Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Complete overhaul, expanded from stub

'''Traditionalist Catholicism''' refers to a loosely-defined movement of [[Catholics]] who reject some or all of the changes made to Catholic liturgy and/or theology during the [[Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican]] (or “Vatican II”), a massive gathering of church leaders that brought about dozens of sweeping reforms.

Traditionalist Catholics are best known to outsiders for their preference for celebrating mass in [[Latin]] rather than in the local [[vernacular]]. The largest of the Traditionalist Catholic societies is [[SSPX]].

Some traditionalist Catholics reject the papal authority of [[Pope John XXIII]] (who called for the Vatican II council) or [[Pope Paul VI]] (the first post-Vatican II Pope), as well as their successors. This doctrine is called [[Sedevacantism]], meaning “vacant seat”. As could be imagined, the [[Holy See]] denounces traditionalist Catholic organizations who espouse this belief, while other groups within the movement may enjoy full communion with Rome.

==Vatican II==
The Second Vatican Council represented the largest formal change to Catholic Church practices in centuries, and attempted to complete the “unfinished” work of the First Vatican Council, which had taken place a century prior. The stated goal of both Vatican Councils was to adapt the church to fit a changing world, combating emerging [[liberal]] tendencies in the [[secular]] world and paving a new way for the church to keep relevancy. Other changes were put into place in light of recent findings related to the early church in order to bring the Catholic Church closer to its roots. Some changes<ref>https://www.catholicregister.org/features/item/15194-what-changed-at-vatican-ii</ref> include:

# The encouragement of vernacular language for use in Mass, ending the use of Latin, which most laity didn’t speak or understand.
# The ability of laity to distribute the [[Eucharist]].
# [[Ecumenical]] endeavors were encouraged in order to strengthen relations between the Catholic Church and other religious groups, including [[Protestant]] denominations. Protestants and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christians]] were declared to be “separated brethren” of the church.
# The idea of [[Jews]] being referred to as an “accursed people” for their rejection of [[Jesus]] was denounced.
# [[Canon law]] and the Catechism were revised and rewritten (though this change took place very gradually).
# More freedom was given toward allowing contemporary music in worship, a change which notably brought about the use of [[guitar|guitars]] in church buildings.
# [[Mary|Marian]] devotions, while still fervently encouraged by the Church, were toned down in terms of formal reach, with many calls to devotion in churches being replaced with other practices. This was done in response to what was seen as “self-centered individualism” within the devotions, which was seen as superseding the communal nature of the liturgy.
# The liturgical calendar was altered, both in terms of dates and practice, with some minor holidays being removed.
# Some customs, such as abstaining from meat on Fridays or fasting prior to receiving the Eucharist, were abolished or made of lesser importance.
# More frequent participation in the [[Sacrament|Sacraments]] was encouraged.

===Traditionalist vs. “Modernist” View===
Most traditionalist groups view the Vatican II changes as liberalizing, with some going so far as to say they represent an abandonment of what it means to be Catholic, and/or signify a shift in the church toward protestantism. “Modernists” (non-traditionalist Catholics) tend to have the opposite view, seeing Vatican II as a reinforcement of Catholicism and a return to form.

Some traditionalists supportive of the Latin Mass have said that celebrating the mass in vernacular “strips it of its holy quality” and inspires doubt that Jesus is literally present in the Eucharist.

==Conclavism==
As mentioned above, “sedevacantism” denotes a tendency of some traditionalist Catholics to reject the authority of post-Vatican II [[Pope|Popes]]. A small handful of groups prefer to take this idea further by claiming to hold the “true” authority and electing “Popes” of their own, a practice which is called “conclavism”.

Conclavist claimants to the papacy can be viewed as modern day [[Antipope|Antipopes]], many of which have adopted the name “Peter II” (in reference to [[St. Peter]], who is believed by Catholics to be the first pope), likely to illustrate a claim to represent a new beginning of sorts. Perhaps the most famous Conclavist is [[Pope Michael]]. Conclavist groups are a very small minority within the traditionalist movement, however. <ref>http://www.self.gutenberg.org/articles/eng/Conclavism</ref>

==Growth in France==
Like much of western [[Europe]], the religious landscape of [[France]] tends to be highly [[secular]] and [[atheistic]], with a growing presence of [[Islam]]. However, traditionalist Catholicism recently has seen a curious growth in France, with traditional [[Priests]] accounting for 20% of ordinations in 2018,<ref>https://liturgyguy.com/2018/07/04/france-traditional-priests-account-for-20-of-2018-ordinations/</ref> and drawing in ire and concern from secular French leadership.<ref>https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/france-monitoring-traditionalist-catholics-for-religious-pathology</ref>

Many traditionalist Catholic groups operate schools and social pressure groups in France, such is the case of Civitas.<ref>http://www.civitas-institut.com/</ref> These groups tend to operate in smaller towns and villages, but their influence can occasionally be wider.

==Traditionalist Catholicism and Politics==
Some traditionalist groups have had a political presence, whether intentional or unintentional. Traditionalists tend to espouse [[right-wing]] social views, and have been extensively slandered by the notoriously dishonest [[far-left]] [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] (SPLC) as a result, with the SPLC coining the term “Radical Traditional Catholicism” in reference to some groups, likely in order to make them seem more threatening.<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/radical-traditional-catholicism</ref>

As mentioned above, traditionalist Catholics in France operate pressure/protest groups which are opposed to secularism, [[homosexual]] “marriage”, [[abortion]], etc. The influence of such groups can be seen in the efforts of mainstream or modernist French Catholics in recent years as well, with Catholicism.org writing in 2019 that Catholicism is visible in the French political landscape “for the first time in decades”. <ref>https://catholicism.org/the-new-catholic-far-right-in-france.html</ref>

Liberal hypocrisy

2020-05-29T05:02:28Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Added example regarding Minneapolis riots

[[Image:1915b7ec753fa9d0352885dc23da4469.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Liberalism has made repeated claims to care for the environment; they have had laws passed calling for severe penalties on anyone or any corporation who would harm it. However, the opposite is fully demonstrated here following the inauguration of [[Barack Obama]] on January 20, 2009. One hundred tons of trash were removed from the National Mall in the days following, all of it thrown on the ground by liberals.]]
'''Liberal hypocrisy''' is the act of a [[liberal]] saying or doing a certain thing for which they condemn others in doing. Liberal [[hypocrisy]] can extend as far as condemning a [[conservative]] position yet embracing the same position it if it becomes a liberal position. An example of liberal hypocrisy is that liberals will often criticize [[George W. Bush]] for drinking in his youth, although they do not criticize [[Barack Obama]] who blatantly admitted to using [[drugs]] and who smoked<ref>
http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=4155</ref> well after sponsoring a harsh tobacco bill and drinks [[alcohol]].<ref>http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/offbeat/073009_obama_beer_summit_bud_light_red_stripe_blue_moon</ref> Several years later, Obama realized he was exhibiting liberal hypocrisy to his children regarding his smoking, and in a rare display of common sense, finally stopped.<ref>https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/244859-obamas-reason-to-stop-smoking-his-daughters</ref> This demonstrates that [[open-mindedness]] can overcome liberal hypocrisy, even among its most ardent practitioners. Sadly, liberals did not follow Obama's example, and still (unfairly) heap criticisms on others.

==Politics==
===Rep. Rosa DeLauro===
Representative Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat from Connecticut, voted for a massive aid bill totaling $26 billion, which was passed into law and signed by President Obama on August 10, 2010; the bill would distribute money to states to aid teachers and first responders (firefighters, police). DeLauro said this in an email to Fox News:
:''"I fought very hard for the food assistance money in the Recovery Act, and the fact is that participation in the food stamps program has jumped dramatically with the economic crisis, from 31.1 million persons to 38.2 million just in one year." "But I know that states across the nation and my own state of Connecticut also desperately need these resources to save jobs and avoid Draconian cuts to essential services for low-income families."''<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/10/democrats-advocacy-groups-blast-cuts-food-stamps-fund-m-jobs/</ref>
The "food assistance" money she is referring to is the [[Food stamp]] program, which provides money to needy families who live at or below the poverty line. For the aid bill, DeLauro voted to remove approximately $12 billion from the food stamp program.

===Actress Carrie Fisher===
Carrie Fisher, an actress and book author, was interviewed by Nicki Gostin for the website "PopEater" on June 14, 2010, and when asked about whether or not members of the [[Tea Party Movement]] were angry with President [[Barrack Obama]], she had this to say:
:''"Yup, and the fact that they chose to call themselves "teabaggers," which is slang for a certain act involving (deleted profanity). It sort of says a lot. I would say a mouthful. Looks like it's very upsetting for them, but he's brilliant. The thing is, he's half white but that's still not enough -- for them it's all white or (deleted profanity). I think we don't deserve him and certainly teabaggers don't deserve him."''

Fisher ignored the fact that the Tea Party was created in response to an increasingly repressive, over-taxing, and power-grabbing central government; it has its origins with the [[Boston Tea Party]] and the conditions which caused the [[American Revolution]], conditions which are cited within the [[Declaration of Independence]]. Fisher herself played Princess Leia in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' films, which involved her character being on the side of a rebellion against a corrupt, repressive, and power-grabbing central government.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2010/06/18/carrie-fisher-obama-hes-brilliant-and-racist-tea-baggers-dont-deserve-hi</ref><ref>http://www.popeater.com/2010/06/14/carrie-fisher-interview-tea-party-star-wars-wishful-drinking/</ref>

===NBC, MSNBC, and Keith Olbermann===
The former host of ''Countdown With Keith Olbermann'' is not shy about where his ideology lies; he has used his nationally known broadcast to disparage conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and anyone else who disagrees with his liberal philosophy. On November 5, 2010, Olbermann was suspended indefinitely without pay by MSNBC for giving contributions to three Democratic candidates without first notifying his bosses, one of whom appeared on his show just after receiving a contribution. Citing NBC policy that states ''"Anyone working for NBC News who takes part in civic or other outside activities may find that these activities jeopardize his or her standing as an impartial journalist because they may create the appearance of a conflict of interest. Such activities may include participation in or contributions to political campaigns or groups that espouse controversial positions. You should report any such potential conflicts in advance to, and obtain prior approval of, the President of NBC News or his designee" '', MSNBC President Phil Griffin gave the order for suspension.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/11/05/msnbc-suspends-keith-olbermann-indefinitely-contributing-democratic-campaigns/</ref><ref>https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=224525</ref>
[[File:Lester Holt.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|NBC News anchor Lester Holt (left) dressed up in whiteface (right). Holt's co-worker Megan Kelly was fired by NBC for saying cultural appropriation was okay.]]
"Contributions" to a cause does not have to be in terms of money; it can also involve using the public airwaves. MSNBC has continually presented programming and hosts hostile to conservatives and the Republican Party, while at the same time being supportive of the Democratic Party and liberalism in general. MSNBC currently presents nightly programming similar to Olbermann's, hosted by Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow, both of whom are on record as using their shows in support of Democratic causes. Further, parent company NBC uses its ''Today'' show and ''NBC Nightly News'' in much the same way.

Liberal hypocrisy may have been one of the factors that caused Microsoft to divest itself from MSNBC in 2012—although the mainstream media would not have, and did not, report on this issue.<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-16/msnbc-website-renamed-nbcnews-com-after-microsoft-split.html</ref>

===NBC, Megan Kelly and Lester Holt===
In October 2018 NBC host Megan Kelly, the highest paid woman on television, was terminated for saying on-air there was no problem with whites wearing blackface on [[Halloween]]. In 2013 NBC News anchor Lester Holt wore whiteface and dressed up as a woman for Halloween.

===Nazism and Fascism===

The following individuals and organizations have either proposed legislation against private gun ownership, or have spoken for anti-gun laws, while at the same time acted the opposite:

===Newspapers===
As a direct result of the tragedy involving the shooting deaths of 26 children and administrators at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the ''New York Journal'' published an online interactive map on December 23, 2012 showing the locations of all law-abiding citizens who legally owned, and had registered, firearms within Westchester and Rockland counties of New York. "We knew publication of the database would be controversial, but we felt sharing as much information as we could about gun ownership in our area was important in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings," editor and news vice president CynDee Royle said.<ref>http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/01/02/53539.htm</ref> The newspaper's editors also sought out what type of weapons were owned, as well as targeting Putnam County, which denied the request. Speaking about the rage many felt over the ''Journal's'' anti-gun stance, state Senator Greg Ball, (R-Patterson, N.Y.) said in a statement "This is clearly a violation of privacy, and needs to be corrected immediately. The same elitist eggheads who use their editorial page to coddle terrorists and criminals are now treating law-abiding citizens like level-three sexual predators. Every person with common sense should be offended."

Left out of the ''Journal's'' search were people in illegal possession of guns, namely the criminal element. In the days since the ''Journal'' published their map and offended the country, an enterprising blogger released the names and addresses of all the journalists who worked for that paper;<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2012/12/26/blogger-creates-interactive-map-employees-paper-which-published-names-an</ref> as a result, the ''Journal'' has now hired and posted guards for their employees - all carrying the firearms that the ''Journal'' hates so much.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-sheffield/2013/01/02/gun-hating-new-york-journal-news-hires-armed-security-after-map-c</ref>

'''Sarah Brady, wife of former White House Press Secretary James Brady'''

For Christmas, 2000, Sarah Brady bought her son, James Brady Jr., a Remington .30-06 hunting rifle, complete with scope and safety lock, at a Lewes, Del., gun shop.
:''"I can't describe how I felt when I picked up that rifle, loaded it into my little car and drove home," she writes. "It seemed so incredibly strange: Sarah Brady, of all people, packing heat."''<ref>http://www.allsafedefense.com/news/Outdated%20News/SarahBuysRifle.htm</ref>
Sarah Brady fought for gun laws to make it tougher for the average citizen to purchase and own one, which was the end result of her husband being seriously wounded by John Hinckley in March 1981, when he tried to assassinate President [[Ronald Reagan]]. "We hope that it's innocuous and there's been no laws violated," said James Jay Baker, chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association. "It's obviously interesting that Sarah would be purchasing firearms of any kind for anybody, given her championing of restrictive guns laws for everyone."

====Color of Change and Glenn Beck====
On his Fox News program, Glenn Beck declared to a guest that Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people," based on the present political situation and Obama's past. Declaring the comment to be racist in and of itself, the organization "Color of Change," a liberal activist group headed by current "green czar" [[Van Jones]] – a declared communist – wrote a large number of letters to the sponsors of Beck's program, demanding they distance themselves from the show and cease sponsoring. A number of these companies (Wal-Mart, GEICO, etc.) did just that. What they want to do is to make Beck a liability; James Rucker, Color of Change's executive director, stated in an interview "They have a toxic asset. They can either clean it up or get rid of it."<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090824/ap_en_ot/us_tv_beck_s_advertisers;_ylt=Aj2_7MFUopZwh_fvkRpRlSOs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNiNGZvZzNjBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkwODI0L3VzX3R2X2JlY2tfc19hZHZlcnRpc2VycwRjcG9zAzEwBHBvcwM3BHB0A2hvbWVfY29rZQRzZWMDeW5faGVhZGxpbmVfbGlzdARzbGsDMzNhZHZlcnRpc2Vy</ref>

===Making money===
'''John Edwards, former United States Senator'''

On August 2, 2007, Edwards made a demand of fellow Democratic presidential candidates that they refuse to accept money from Rupert Murdoch. He said this while speaking in Chapel Hill, North Carolina:
:''"News Corp's purchase of the Dow Jones Co. and The Wall Street Journal should be the last straw when it comes to media consolidation. The basis of a strong democracy begins and ends with a strong, unbiased and fair media — all qualities which are pretty hard to subscribe to Fox News and News Corp. The reality is that Americans deserve more news outlets — not fewer. It's time for all Democrats, including those running for president, to stand up and speak out against this merger and other forms of media consolidation.''
:''"Moreover, given Fox News' consistent efforts to demean Democrats — they have attacked the character of Senator Obama, Vice President Gore, and many others — no Democrat running for president should accept campaign money from top News Corp executives. So, today, I'm challenging every Democratic presidential candidate to refuse contributions from News Corp executives and return any they've already taken, beginning with Rupert Murdoch. The time has come for Democrats to stop pretending to be friends with the very people who demonize the Democratic Party."'' <ref>http://johnedwards.com/news/press-releases/20070802-media-consolidation/</ref>
John Edwards is the recipient of some $800,000 in advance royalties for a book he wrote titled "Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives", from HarperCollins Publishers, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. When asked if he would return the royalties, the answer was "no".<ref>http://www.nypost.com/seven/08032007/news/nationalnews/edwards_in_a_biz_hate__witch_nationalnews_charles_hurt__bureau_chief.htm</ref>

'''Harry Smith, co-host of CBS' ''The Early Show'''''

On July 24, 2007, home and garden expert Danny Lipford demonstrated a product that can water a parched lawn from underground. Referring to the cost ($140.00), Smith said this:
:''"Now that the minimum wage is up, maybe we can afford it."''
The minimum wage is $5.85 per hour. Smith can afford the product on his $3,000,000 a year salary.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/justin-mccarthy/2007/07/24/cbss-harry-smith-pretends-be-minimum-wage-earner</ref>

'''[[Diane Sawyer]], co-host of ABC's ''Good Morning America'''''

''Good Morning America'' on July 18, 2007 criticized Rupert Murdoch as the “the man with everything” just after he bought the [[Wall Street Journal]]. Sawyer elaborated with this:
:''“You think he has everything? I'll bet the day after tomorrow there is something new he wants,”''
Sawyer herself makes $12,000,000 a year.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/julia-seymour/2007/08/03/tv-anchors-make-millions-still-attack-rich</ref>

'''[[Michael Moore]]'''

In a short interview by CNS News on October 1, 2009, liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore was asked by reporter Nicholas Ballasy "Critics would say he’s [Moore] been very successful under a capitalist system. How would you justify making a movie where you paint capitalism as evil?" Moore replied ''"Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my first film. You know, I had to pretty much beg, borrow and steal,"'' he said. ''"The system is not set up to help somebody from the working class make a movie like this and get the truth out there."''

To date, all of Moore's films and books have amassed more than $300,000,000 in profits due to America's capitalist system; one, ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' – a film suggesting the United States Government caused the events of September 11, 2001 – earned more than $200,000,000 alone.

===Taking money (taxation)===
In 2001 the state legislature and many liberals in Arkansas clamored for Republican governor [[Mike Huckabee]] to raise taxes to shore up an estimated $142 million budget deficit. In response, Huckabee created the "Tax Me More" Fund, in which liberals who feel they are guilty of not contributing more to the government can voluntarily do so and, according to spokesman Rick Nelson, "assuage their guilt". "We share responsibility for the [budget] fiasco," said state Senator John Riggs, a Democrat who represents Little Rock. "I am responsible for my actions and am as guilty as everyone else for letting the governor's budget go through."

Riggs ponied up $100 for the fund. One week after implementing the fund at the end of November 2001, the fund amounted to $260. By the following April, the amount was between $2,000-$3,000. The program ended in June, 2002.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,40100,00.html</ref><ref>https://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/1/22/182422.shtml</ref><ref>[https://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/08/politics/main548369.shtml][http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=1620][https://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/12/3/171750.shtml]</ref>

===Taking taxes while avoiding them===
[[File:6da852 Boat 07232010.jpg|right|200px|thumb|John Kerry's ''Isabel''; he doesn't have to pay the sales tax on it.]]
Senator John Kerry is on record as having raised taxes on the wealthy, as well as fighting the cutting of those taxes. It was revealed that Kerry bought a luxury yacht - the ''Isabel'' – a 76-foot New Zealand-built sloop designed by Ted Fontaine, with an Edwardian-style interior, complete with wet bar, wine storage, and VIP cabins. He paid $7 million for the boat, and would have had to pay over $435,000 dollars and a $70,000 annual excise tax to Massachusetts, the state he represents and calls home.<ref name="skiptaxes">[http://bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view.bg?articleid=1269698 Sen.

Kerry purchased, and most importantly – ''ported'' – the yacht in Rhode Island, where he's aware of the 1993 repeal of the Boat Sales and Use Tax. He won't have to pay a dime in taxes for his new toy.

===No to gas-tax holiday===
For the privileged [[Democrat]]ic committee members, the last four months has been a tax-free gas fill-up in Colorado, home of the [[Presidential]] convention. Since Denver's municipal [[gas]] pumps are tax-free, Democrats made frequent use of the city's resources. These are the same Democrats that have refused the tax-break holiday for the American people. It is not a good for everyone, just a few select [[liberal]] people.<ref>[http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/23/report-democratic-conventions-host-getting-tax-free-gas/ Democratic Convention’s Hosts Getting Tax-Free Gas] Fox News July 23, 2008</ref>

===The hounding of the dead===
Senator [[Charles Schumer]] wants an investigation into whether or not credit card companies are demanding that relatives of deceased card holders pay the bills. "These companies call surviving relatives, often shortly after the death of a loved one, to coax or cajole them into making payments on the deceased relative's credit card," Schumer said in a recent email sent to the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Jon Leibowitz. "To say the least, this practice is distasteful and unethical. Moreover, this practice may very well violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act."[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090311/ap_on_bi_ge/debt_collectors_deceased_1].

Schumer himself voted ''NO'' on raising the [[Estate tax]] exemption to $5M from $1M (Kyl Amendment; Bill S.Amdt.4191 to S.Con.Res.70 ; vote number 08-S050 on Feb 13, 2008); voted ''NO'' on raising estate tax exemption to $5 million (Kyl Amendment; Bill S.Amdt.507 on S.Con.Res.21 ; vote number 2007-083 on Mar 21, 2007); voted ''NO'' on supporting permanence of estate tax cuts (Bill H.R. 5970 ; vote number 2006-229 on Aug 3, 2006); voted ''NO'' on phasing out the estate tax (Bill HR 8 ; vote number 2000-197 on Jul 14, 2000) <ref>http://www.ontheissues.org/Economic/Charles_Schumer_Tax_Reform.htm</ref>

===Seattle's anti-oil "kayaktivism"===
On May 16, 2015, a group of individuals in Seattle, Washington staged a protest to prevent the departure of a Shell oil rig bound for Arctic oil fields off Alaska. The total number ballooned to over 200 kayaks and other water craft, organized by environmental groups from across the country "''...to demonstrate concern about the impact of fossil-fuel consumption on climate change''"<ref>https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/paddle-in-seattle-protesters-gather-against-shell-oil-rig/</ref><ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/may/15/seattle-kayak-tivists-shell-arctic-oil-drilling</ref>.

What was entirely lost on these people was the fact that the kayaks which enabled them to protest the oil rig and pipeline were made from plastic, which is a product made from oil.

===The strange case of Al Gore===
Former Vice President Al Gore seems to go to great lengths regarding his own "do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do" attitude regarding a clean environment.
:''"There are many who still do not believe that global warming is a problem at all. And it's no wonder: because they are the targets of a massive and well-organized campaign of [[disinformation]] lavishly funded by polluters who are determined to prevent any action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming out of a fear that their profits might be affected if they had to stop dumping so much pollution into the atmosphere."''
Sean Hannity reported on Fox News Channel's ''Hannity & Colmes'', February 18, 2007, that when Al Gore was running his campaign: ''"On January 27th, 2000, Gore campaign in Concord and Manchester, New Hampshire, and on that very same day reimbursed the Thomas Lee Company $1,400 for the use of their corporate jet. That evening he left New Hampshire and flew back to Washington aboard Air Force Two, the vice president's official plane is a 757, which means that the flight from New Hampshire to Washington, well, the vice president emitted more than 22,000 pounds of CO2."''<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/10951</ref>

On March 29, 2009, Gore further compounded his global warming hypocrisy by keeping many of his lights on at his Belle Meade (Nashville), Tennessee home – including his floodlights – when they should have been off for the [[Earth Hour]] that he helped to promote.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jeff-poor/2009/03/29/report-gore-s-lights-left-media-hyped-earth-hour</ref><ref>http://www.dakotavoice.com/2009/03/al-gore-takes-a-pass-on-earth-hour/</ref><ref>http://www.kxmc.com/News/Nation/352029.asp</ref>

On January 2, 2013 a deal was completed between Gore and the [[Qatar]]-owned [[Al Jazeera]], allowing the sale of [[Current TV]] to the Middle Eastern news organization infamous for being the mouthpiece of terrorists like [[Osama bin Laden]] and [[Hamas]]. Being a green-energy man, Gore wouldn't allow advertising from oil companies on his network, yet he sold it to a country whose prime source of revenue is from oil. "Al was always lecturing us about green," said one disgruntled staffer. "He kept his word about green all right—as in cold, hard cash!"<ref>http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/current_situation_XLE3W50v6I9Gbyqe6Z4pFP</ref><ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2013/01/06/inconvenient-truth-al-gores-al-jazeera-current-tv-deal/</ref>

The restaurant was four doors down the street – ''0.06 of a mile'' – and took approximately 10 seconds, while several others who were at the same event and went to the same restaurant walked the distance in less than a couple minutes. The car she was in – a chauffeured Lincoln Town Car – is a gas guzzler, getting 15 miles per gallon or less in the city.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2131511/Gwyneth-Paltrow-driven-0-06miles-video-launch-restaurant-doors-away.html</ref><ref>http://www.tribute.ca/news/index.php/environmentalist-gwyneth-paltrow-drives-10-seconds-to-restaurant/2012/04/19/</ref>

Thousands of pounds of signs, trash, and garbage was strewn upon the grounds of the Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, and the Washington Monument;<ref>http://deathby1000papercuts.com/2010/10/one-nation-what-if-they-gave-a-rally-and-only-unions-and-commies-showed-up/</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jsG3RbfBug</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Hn-fDLk58&feature=related</ref> by comparison, Beck's rally – which had tens of thousands more people – had no litter problem whatsoever.<ref>http://www.breitbart.tv/national-mall-left-spotless-after-beck-rally/</ref>

In an article published in the ''New York Times'' on February 25, 2009, Dr. Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resource Defense Council, stated emphatically that “No forest of any kind should be used to make toilet paper.” The writer of the article, Leslie Kaufmann, called her piece "What Mr. Whipple Didn't Say: Softer Paper Is Costly to Forests," seemingly lecturing Americans on wastefulness via the subject of toilet paper, and emphasizing how countries other than America use more recycled content in creating toilet paper than in the U.S. (20% vs. 2% respectively).<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/clay-waters/2009/02/26/dead-tree-hypocrisy-nyt-massive-paper-user-lectures-toilet-paper</ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/26/science/earth/26charmin.html?_r=1</ref>

The ''New York Times'' prints over one million newspapers daily; it admitted to an ordinary blogger that its own use of recycled paper is 21% to 28%; he further stated that it ''"takes 75,000 trees to print the Sunday edition of the New York Times"''.<ref>http://ecologycenter.org/recycling/articles/20071115_paper_waste.html</ref> Taking away the top percentage for recycling leaves well over 50,000 trees cut down.

===Hypocritical care for endangered animals===
The Sonoran [[pronghorn antelope]] (''Antilocapra americana sonoriensis'') is listed as critically endangered by the Federal government, numbering about 80 estimated animals in their former range within [[Arizona]]. Groups such as Defenders of Wildlife, Wilderness Watch, and other environmentalists are opposed to the construction and placement of watch towers within the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge by the [[Department of Homeland Security]] to detect illegal immigrants crossing into the United States, stating that "human presence" would disturb the animals in such a way as to drive them to actual extinction. "They always end up causing a lot of unintended consequences," said George Nickas, director of Wilderness Watch, about the towers. "I don't know which straw will break the camel's back, so to speak, but I do think what's happening will incrementally lead to more and more difficulties."<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/14/endangered-animal-stalling-border-security-efforts-arizona/</ref>

Environmentalists are more concerned about the effects of the Border Patrol on the animals. Ignored by these liberals are the hundreds of illegals moving through the pronghorn's habitat on a daily basis, leaving man-made destruction of the environment and tons of trash in their wake.<ref>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2532985/posts</ref><ref>http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/003408.html</ref>

*Despite claiming to support unions, many liberals support [[globalism]], [[free trade]] agreements, and [[open borders]], all of which lower wages for native workers.

'''Outsourced picketers'''

For decades [[Labor Unions]] allegedly presented themselves as defenders of the oppressed, and against the "capital exploitation of labor." Labor Unions were supposed to have won for workers certain rights, guarantees, benefits, and fair wages. Unions were said to have forced businesses to be accountable for "fair labor practices," and through the higher pay scales, they won for themselves paid more taxes on income collected from their paychecks by employers which had the support of the government. Trade Unionism had been an important part of the liberal coalition within the [[Democratic party]]. In the late 1990s, Unions began protesting the loss of jobs through [[outsourcing]].

'''Exploitation of the poor'''

By the 21st century, Unions began outsourcing picket lines to non-union, scab labor. The non-unionized workers were recruited from the most vulnerable of society willing to take on the most undignified type of work. The Unions offered no benefits, no healthcare, no job security, low pay, and intolerable working conditions. The Unions likewise paid in cash and did not collect taxes due to either federal, state, or local governments. Further, the Union's exploitation of workers on outsourced picket lines contributed absolutely nothing to the workers [[Social Security]] retirement fund. Unions did not pay required [[Workers Compensation]] premiums for a hazardous job known to be risking life and limb. All this, so the greedy employer, in this case, the Union membership, could enjoy higher living standards for themselves.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/23/AR2007072302011_pf.html Outsourcing the Picket Line], By Keith L.

While a co-host for the NBC morning news program ''Today'', she said this on August 15, 2005:
:''“I had to take out a loan to fill up my minivan. It’s crazy.”''
At the time, she had a contract with NBC worth $15,000,000 a year.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/284</ref>

====Cigarette smoking====

'''Tennessee'''

The state of Tennessee in July 2007 enacted an increase in the tax on cigarettes; the plan was to discourage smoking by youths, new smokers, and get others to break the habit. The state's treasury also expects to see an increase in revenue from the resulting taxation. Among the organizations supporting the new tax is Campaign for a Healthy and Responsible Tennessee (CHART), which has this written on their website:
:''"For the past six years, CHART has taken a public stand on key issues related to tobacco policy. Among other victories, the coalition helped to secure a 7 cent increase in the state's tobacco excise tax in 2002 which has reduced youth and adult smoking rates, generated vital state revenues and provided significant health care savings."'' <ref>http://www.tnchart.org/issues.htm</ref>
The only way to generate the vital state revenues that Tennessee needs from this cigarette tax is for people to continue smoking.

====Fast Food====
John Banzhaf III is a legal professor at George Washington University <ref>http://banzhaf.net/</ref> who has filed public-interest lawsuits against cigarette manufacturers and fast food restaurants. Among the defendants was McDonald's, which was targeted in 2002 <ref>http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20020330/ctvnews854709/</ref> for contributing to obesity. This was posted on his website:
:''McDONALD'S TRANS FAT: McDonald's was sued after it announced, with great fanfare and publicity, that it would remove [[trans fat]] from its offerings, and then quietly reneged on its promise. McDonald's agreed to make the requested disclosure, and to pay $8 million to settle the law suit.'' <ref>http://banzhaf.net/suefat.html</ref>
At about the same time Banzhaf began his suit, he made an appearance on Morgan Spurlock's documentary about obesity from fast food, ''Super Size Me'' (2004), and Banzhaf is clearly shown in the film eating a large McDonald's hamburger, fries, and drink.<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/</ref>

Anglicanism and Liberalism

2020-05-28T03:48:25Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Added another example regarding Gene Robinson

'''Anglicanism''' (also known as [[Episcopalianism]] outside of the [[United Kingdom]]) is a term used to describe the [[Christian]] tradition started by the [[Church of England]]. Anglicans, represented by the [[Anglican Communion]], are currently the third largest Christian division behind [[Roman Catholicism]] and [[Eastern Orthodoxy]].
Like most [[mainline]] protestant movements, Anglicanism has seen a decline<ref>https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/church-of-england-sees-dramatic-decline</ref> since the 20th century as a result of [[secularization]], low birth rates among members, and (especially in the [[United States]]) the general shift of protestantism toward [[evangelical]] forms of worship. This decline coincides with an marked embrace by many Anglican denominations and parishes of [[liberalism]] in terms of social politics, church structure, and [[theology]], sometimes to the point of outright [[heresy]].

==Early History==
Along with other mainline protestants, Anglicans took part in the [[social gospel]] movement of the 20th century, which stressed social reform and occasionally expressed [[socialist]] leanings.

==Atheistic Clergy==
The Anglican Communion has been known to employ some [[clergy]] who openly lack a belief in [[God]], or are otherwise highly doubtful and critical of scriptural doctrine. In most cases, this occurs as a result of older clergy losing their faith over time but remaining with the church, which in the case of the Church of England is allowed by technicality due to the church’s governing body rejecting the idea of “heresy trials” (the removal of clergy who fail to adhere to church teachings or practices). <ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/survey-finds-2-of-anglican-priests-are-not-believers-9821899.html</ref>

The history of Anglican clergy outright rejecting scriptural teachings can be traced at least to the 1980s, when [[Bishop]] of Durham David Jenkins caused controversy by publicly casting doubt on the [[virgin birth]] and [[resurrection of Jesus]]<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/06/david-jenkins-bishop-durham-biblical-facts-fire-york-minster</ref>. The issue has only grown since this case, with a 2014 survey suggesting that as many as 16% of Anglican [[priests]] in England are [[agnostic]], with 2% being [[atheists]]. <ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/survey-finds-2-of-anglican-priests-are-not-believers-9821899.html</ref>

While best documented within the Church of England itself, this phenomenon is not limited to the UK and can also be observed within the US [[Episcopal Church]], in which the atheist [[John Shelby Spong]] served as Bishop of [[Newark, New Jersey]] for 21 years, during which he released numerous books attacking established Christian theology, finally ending his tenure with the publication of his book “A New Christianity for a New World”, a work which attacks [[theism]] in favor of a symbolic view of [[God]] and promotes the opinion of a small minority of Biblical scholars that [[Judas Iscariot]] did not exist and was an [[anti-semitic]] creation, among other claims. <ref>https://www.christiancentury.org/reviews/2011-04/new-christianity-new-world-john-shelby-spong</ref>

==Abortion==
While nominally disapproving of [[abortion]], the Episcopal Church considers abortion to be “a woman’s right” and opposes any [[pro-life]] legislation which would restrict the availability of abortion. <ref>https://episcopalchurch.org/posts/ogr/summary-general-convention-resolutions-abortion-and-womens-reproductive-health</ref>

==Feminism==
Most denominations within the Anglican Communion support the [[ordination of women]] into the priesthood to some degree, while some traditions vary on whether or not women are allowed to become bishops or have to remain priests or deacons.

In 2015, a group of female bishops within the Church of England lead a heretical campaign to remove God’s masculine pronouns from formal Church [[liturgy]], declaring them “deficient” and “outdated” as well as effectively arguing for God to be referred to as genderless or even female<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/01/church-of-england-womens-group-bishops</ref>, in contrast to what has been taught by the Bible and thousands of years of [[Judeo-Christian]] belief. While this change to the liturgy was ultimately not approved by the church’s governing body, it can be seen as a sign of the times in regard to the extent of [[feminism]] within theology.

==Homosexual Agenda==
The various denominations of the Anglican Communion have differing views on homosexuality, with the Episcopal Church being the most lenient, overwhelmingly supporting [[same-sex marriage]] since 2015 and allowing the ordination of gay, [[bisexual]], and [[transgender]] clergy. The Episcopal Church participates in [[gay pride]] events, often decorating church facilities in rainbow flag motifs. <ref>https://episcopalchurch.org/lgbtq-church</ref>

In 2005, Gene Robinson, an openly gay priest in the Episcopal Church, preached a sermon in which he made the heretical claim that Jesus may have been gay. His statements were criticized by others within the church. <ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1487002/Jesus-might-have-been-homosexual-says-the-first-openly-gay-bishop.html</ref>

==Conservative Anglican Response==
Liberalizing trends in Anglican theology and practice have not remained unchallenged, as groups within the Church of England and Episcopal Churches alike have voiced opposition to these trends, which they see as compromising and “capitulating to secular values”<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/conservative-anglicans-open-revolt-against-church-englands-capitulation-secular-lgbt-values.html</ref>. In 2017, 22 conservative Anglican clergymen (including Gavin Ashenden, former [[chaplain]] to [[Queen Elizabeth II]]) signed a letter to the Church of England stating that the Church “has a duty to be counter-cultural in the face of social disintegration” and threatening a schism if traditional views continue to be marginalized within the Church.

In 2009, the [[Anglican Church in North America]]<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/Anglican-Church-in-North-America</ref> broke away from the Episcopal Church in protest of liberal reforms, quickly establishing itself as a conservative force within Anglicanism. It currently serves over 100,000 members. <ref>https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2008/december/149-43.0.html</ref>

Church of Sweden

2020-05-26T00:32:00Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Revised formatting and citations. Added "Basics" section.

The '''Church of Sweden''' is a [[Lutheran]] church and the largest [[Christian]] denomination in [[Sweden]]. Founded in the 16th century, the Church of Sweden was the Swedish national church for nearly 500 years before a [[secular]] reform in the year 2000 eliminated all state support for religious institutions. Today, Sweden is known for being one of the most [[irreligious]] countries in the world (A 2016 survey found roughly 18% of Swedes identify as [[atheist]], with an additional 55% identifying as "non-religious"<ref>http://gallup.com.pk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Global-Report-on-Religion-2.pdf</ref>) as well as one of the most [[liberal]], and this has been felt within the church, with the modern day Church of Sweden losing nearly 2% of their membership each year, and liberal ideas and leadership within the church compromising [[theology]].

==Basics==
The Church of Sweden was officially founded in 1536 by King Gustav I Vasa during the early stages of the [[Protestant Reformation]], but didn't officially adopt its current Lutheran basis until 1593. Its split from the [[Roman Catholic Church]] coincided with or predated the similar schisms that created the churches of England, Norway, and Denmark. A [[high church]]-oriented denomination, the Church of Sweden retains much of its Catholic heritage in terms of liturgical style and (to a lesser extent) theology, including a general belief in the sacraments as well as a view affirming [[Christ]]'s literal presence in the [[eucharist]] (though the full doctrine of [[transubstantiation]] is rejected).

==Liberalism in the Church of Sweden==
While perhaps not as compromising as the [[Church of England]] and its American counterpart (which are facing a major issue with [[Anglicanism and Liberalism|clergy who openly don't believe in God]]), the Church of Sweden has fallen victim to an increasingly "[[progressive]]" ideology, to the point that the presiding Archbishop felt the need to remind the public that the church isn't "worshipping political correctness"<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/church-of-sweden-head-on-gender-neutral-language-for-god-not-bowing-to-political-correctness.html</ref>. The church tends to be very left-leaning in regard to social issues, and in some cases can be seen as contradicting or infringing upon mainstream Christianity.

===Feminism===
[[File:Lund Sweden.jpg|thumb|Church of Sweden Altar in Lund Cathedral.]] The Church of Sweden has supported the [[ordination of women]] since 1958, and is currently ordaining more female [[priests]] than male<ref>https://www.thelocal.se/20080128/9793</ref>. The church is currently presided over by female Archbishop Antje Jackelén.

Like some groups within the Church of England<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/01/church-of-england-womens-group-bishops</ref>, the Church of Sweden has trended toward "gender neutral" language in [[liturgy]] to the point of being [[heretical]]. In 2017, Jackelén moved to discourage clergy from referring to [[God]] in masculine terms (such as "he", "father", and "lord"<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/church-of-sweden-wants-clergy-use-gender-neutral-pronouns-for-god-not-he-lord.html</ref>), claiming God to be "beyond human gender denominations" and going so far as to update the church handbook accordingly, a decision which was agreed upon by the church's 251-member governing body<ref>https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/church-of-sweden-recommend-gender-neutral-pronouns-for-god</ref> It should be noted that gender-neutral terminology in regard to God is contradictory to the [[Bible]] as well as thousands of years of common [[Judeo-Christian]] knowledge.

===Promotion of Homosexuality===
The Church of Sweden is known for taking a particularly pro-[[homosexual]] stance, allowing [[same-sex]] marriage as well as the ordination of homosexual and [[transgender]] clergy, including a married [[lesbian]] [[Bishop]] of [[Stockholm]], Eva Brunne.

In 2019, the Church of Sweden removed a pro-gay altarpiece (a painting depicting same-sex couples in the [[Garden of Eden]]) only because it "could be interpreted as anti-trans" <ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7784319/Gay-altarpiece-showing-two-Adams-two-Eves-removed-Swedish-church.html</ref>.

===Promotion of Secularization===
Though it would seem obviously counterintuitive to the church's stated goals, the Church of Sweden has occasionally taken a stance in favor of [[secularization]], even within church property itself. In September 2015, Eva Brunne proposed the removal of all Christian symbols from the Seaman's Church in Stockholm Harbor (as well as the addition of an [[Islamic]] prayer room with a marker to signify the direction of [[Mecca]]) in order to make the church accessible for "sailors of all beliefs" and citing non-sectarian prayer rooms in [[airports]] as an inspiration <ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/worlds-first-openly-lesbian-bishop-to-remove-crosses-build-islamic-prayer-room-in-swedish-seamens-church.html</ref>.

===Abortion===
The Church of Sweden officially supports [[abortion]], declaring it to be "healthcare". <ref>https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/filer/665f8452-87e7-4a27-96dd-47b6d0398c04.pdf</ref>

==Decline==
Similar to other European<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/21/christianity-non-christian-europe-young-people-survey-religion</ref> and [[mainline]] protestant churches, the Church of Sweden has seen a decline<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/liberal-church-of-sweden-lose-1-million-members-selling-property.html</ref>in membership since the 20th century, having accounted for over 90% of the Swedish population in 1985 but less than 60% by 2018. While state churches of other [[Scandinavian]] countries such as [[Denmark]] and [[Norway]] have also reported a decline, Sweden's figures have been particularly drastic. In the case of the Church of Sweden, this decline was likely underway for a longer time than can easily be observed, as all newborn children in Sweden were automatically listed as church members until 1996 (unless their parents had actively cancelled their own membership).

As of 2018, only 2% of Swedes report attending church regularly, with only 17% of Swedes declaring religion to be an important part of their daily life.

John Shelby Spong

2020-05-25T17:50:13Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Edited to clarify the "Newark" mentioned in the article

'''John Shelby "Jack" Spong''' (born June 16, 1931) is a retired [[Episcopal Church]] [[bishop]], having served the [[Newark, New Jersey]] [[diocese]] for 21 years, from 1979 to 2000. Despite spending a career in [[clergy]], Spong is a long time [[atheist]] and [[critic]] of [[Christianity]], even to the point of writing numerous books critical of traditional Christian belief while serving as a bishop. He holds [[liberal]] views in regard to the [[homosexual agenda]], [[feminism]], and Christian church history. <ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/liberal-bishop-questions-literal-reading-of-bible-in-brown-u-speech/</ref>

Spong advocates a non-[[theistic]] view of [[God]]<ref>https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-06-067084-9</ref>, declaring theism to be "dead" and choosing to define God as a mere metaphor for humanity and existence rather than the literal creator of the universe. He calls for a "new [[reformation]]" that will eliminate theism from Christianity (essentially reframing it as a form of [[humanism]]). He has embraced a tradition of [[secular]] [[Biblical]] scholarship that is largely based on [[anti-Christian]] speculation and to date has failed to present anything of worth or provability. Among Spong's favorite theories is that of [[Judas Iscariot]] being an [[anti-semitic]] invention<ref>https://chqdaily.com/2016/07/john-shelby-spong-argues-character-of-judas-was-created-to-implicate-jews/</ref>, a theory rejected even by most secular scholars.
Spong has made numerous assertions regarding perceived textual and logical issues in the [[New Testament]] in an attempt to debunk traditional Christian concepts (such as the bodily [[Resurrection of Jesus]]), with some of his textual criticisms attacking Christianity based on "key" Greek words that weren't even in the cited Biblical passage to begin with. <ref>https://creation.com/whats-wrong-with-bishop-spong#9</ref>

Spong has attacked early Christianity and the actions of previous Christians, declaring the church [[sexist]] and attempting to argue that [[Biblical literalism]] in terms of the Hebrew scriptures is a Christian invention<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Biblical-Literalism-Gentile-Christianity-Matthews/dp/0062362313</ref> (the implication being that ancient [[Israelites]] before Christ were also atheistic). He still wears his collar in spite of no longer being affiliated with the Episcopal Church.

==Criticism==
Spong's assertions have garnered criticism from Gerald O'Collins, a [[Jesuit]] [[Priest]] and Professor of Fundamental Theology at [[Rome]]'s Gregorian University, as well as former [[Anglican]] Archbishop Rowan Williams. O'Collins referred to Spong's work as "simply not belonging in the world of international scholarship" and criticized Spong's apparent lack of understanding in his own arguments regarding the [[Greek language]]<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071013035538/http://www.christian-apologetics.org/pdf/SpongRev20Web.pdf</ref>, while Williams discussed why Spong's points are "invalid" in his opinion and fail to present a compelling alternative for traditional, theistic Christian belief. <ref>https://anglicanecumenicalsociety.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/bishop-spong-and-archbishop-williamss-response/</ref>

Anglicanism and Liberalism

2020-05-25T17:49:20Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Edited to clarify the "Newark" mentioned in the article

'''Anglicanism''' (also known as [[Episcopalianism]] outside of the [[United Kingdom]]) is a term used to describe the [[Christian]] tradition started by the [[Church of England]]. Anglicans, represented by the [[Anglican Communion]], are currently the third largest Christian division behind [[Roman Catholicism]] and [[Eastern Orthodoxy]].
Like most [[mainline]] protestant movements, Anglicanism has seen a decline<ref>https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/church-of-england-sees-dramatic-decline</ref> since the 20th century as a result of [[secularization]], low birth rates among members, and (especially in the [[United States]]) the general shift of protestantism toward [[evangelical]] forms of worship. This decline coincides with an marked embrace by many Anglican denominations and parishes of [[liberalism]] in terms of social politics, church structure, and [[theology]], sometimes to the point of outright [[heresy]].

==Early History==
Along with other mainline protestants, Anglicans took part in the [[social gospel]] movement of the 20th century, which stressed social reform and occasionally expressed [[socialist]] leanings.

==Atheistic Clergy==
The Anglican Communion has been known to employ some [[clergy]] who openly lack a belief in [[God]], or are otherwise highly doubtful and critical of scriptural doctrine. In most cases, this occurs as a result of older clergy losing their faith over time but remaining with the church, which in the case of the Church of England is allowed by technicality due to the church’s governing body rejecting the idea of “heresy trials” (the removal of clergy who fail to adhere to church teachings or practices). <ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/survey-finds-2-of-anglican-priests-are-not-believers-9821899.html</ref>

The various denominations of the Anglican Communion have differing views on homosexuality, with the Episcopal Church being the most lenient, overwhelmingly supporting [[same-sex marriage]] since 2015 and allowing the ordination of gay, [[bisexual]], and [[transgender]] clergy. The Episcopal Church participates in [[gay pride]] events, often decorating church facilities in rainbow flag motifs. <ref>https://episcopalchurch.org/lgbtq-church</ref>

==Conservative Anglican Response==
Liberalizing trends in Anglican theology and practice have not remained unchallenged, as groups within the Church of England and Episcopal Churches alike have voiced opposition to these trends, which they see as compromising and “capitulating to secular values”<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/conservative-anglicans-open-revolt-against-church-englands-capitulation-secular-lgbt-values.html</ref>. In 2017, 22 conservative Anglican clergymen (including Gavin Ashenden, former [[chaplain]] to [[Queen Elizabeth II]]) signed a letter to the Church of England stating that the Church “has a duty to be counter-cultural in the face of social disintegration” and threatening a schism if traditional views continue to be marginalized within the Church.

In 2009, the [[Anglican Church in North America]]<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/Anglican-Church-in-North-America</ref> broke away from the Episcopal Church in protest of liberal reforms, quickly establishing itself as a conservative force within Anglicanism. It currently serves over 100,000 members. <ref>https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2008/december/149-43.0.html</ref>

'''Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama''' (born January 17, 1964) held the office of [[First Lady]] of the U.S. as the wife of [[Barack Obama]]. She is the first [[African American]] First Lady. As First Lady, she has repeatedly gone on extravagant vacations at enormous taxpayer expense, including a $100,000-per-day trip to [[Spain]] in the summer of 2010 to enjoy lavish accommodations.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1301302/Michelle-Obama-lunches-Spains-royal-family-backlash-extravagant-holiday-continues-home.html</ref>

Michelle was born and raised on the south side of [[Chicago]]. She attended Whitney Young High School in 1981, later majoring in [[sociology]] and graduating ''[[cum laude]]'' at [[Princeton University]], and she then went on to obtain her [[Juris Doctor|J.D. degree]] at [[Harvard Law School]] in 1988. She is also sister to Craig Robinson, coach of the [[Oregon State University]]'s men's basketball team.

Michelle's parents are Fraser Robinson III (died in 1991) and his wife, Marian, who married in 1960. The ''New York Times'' wrote, in an article entitled "In First Lady’s Roots, a Complex Path From Slavery," that Michelle's ancestry includes slaves: "Melvinia Shields, the enslaved and illiterate young girl, and the unknown white man who impregnated her are the great-great-great-grandparents of Michelle Obama, the first lady ... the more complete map of Mrs. Obama’s ancestors — including the slave mother, white father and their biracial son, Dolphus T. Shields — connects the first African-American first lady to the history of slavery, tracing their five-generation journey from bondage to a front-row seat to the presidency."<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/08/us/politics/08genealogy.html In First Lady’s Roots, a Complex Path From Slavery.]</ref> (Dolphus Shields was a very light skinned, church-going carpenter who could read, write and advance in an industrializing town.) Some of Michelle's relatives still reside in [[South Carolina]].
[[File:Robinson III and Marian.jpg|left|175px|Robinson III and Marian with their children.]]

Michelle was employed at the law firm [[Sidley Austin]] along with [[Weather Underground]] [[terrorist]] [[Bernardine Dohrn]],<ref>[http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NjY4YzdhMDBkZGQ3ZmU2MTUzYjdkMzc5ZjUzYmViZWM=#more ''Why Won’t Obama Talk About Columbia?],

McCarthy, [[National Review]], October 7, 2008.</ref><ref>[http://www.usasurvival.org/docs/chicago-obama.pdf Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection], Cliff Kincaid, America's Survival, Inc.</ref> where she met Barack Obama. In 1991 [[Valerie Jarrett]], Deputy Chief of Staff for Mayor Richard Daley, offered Michelle Robinson a job as Assistant to Mayor [[Richard Daley]].

She served as vice president of the University of Chicago Medical Center. Michelle earned $317,000. per year as a board member dealing with community relations. She had resigned those positions to campaign for Barack.

Forming a domestic union in 1992, the Obama's have two daughters: Malia (born in 1998) and Natasha "Sasha" (born in 2001). She committed to campaign only two days out of the week during the election campaign in order to stay home with their children.

==Militant racism==
Michelle Obama attended Princeton University where she created her graduating thesis paper. Media requests to view the documents during Barack's presidential campaign were denied. The university stated suspiciously that it would be available to the public after the general election and for good reason. Michelle identifies with black militancy, utterly obsessed with race in [[America]] and her own blackness.<ref>[http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=1182 Michelle Obama’s Early Militant Racism Revealed, RightPundits.com, February 25th, 2008]</ref>

{{cquote|I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.}}

{{cquote|Attending Princeton has probably forced [black alumni] to compete intellectually with Whites more than with Blacks and, thus, they have probably become more familiar with Whites intellectually, but in other activities they are likely to have gained familiarity with Whites if they did not spend time with Whites in other activities besides intellectual ones.}}

Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America, but she elevates black over white in her world. Her attitude explains the very reason she felt comfortable attending Rev. [[Jeremiah Wright]]'s black liberation theology church for twenty years. Read the full thesis here: [https://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_1-251.pdf Part 1] [https://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_26-501.pdf Part 2] [https://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_51-751.pdf Part 3] [http://dyn.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_76-981.pdf Part 4]

Always eager to remind the world how racist America was and is, she told students while vacationing in [[China]] "Many decades ago, there were actually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me, who are a minority in the United States." <ref>[https://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/michelle-there-were-actually-laws-america-allowed-discrimination-against-black-people-me_785997.html Michelle: 'There Were Actually Laws in America that Allowed Discrimination Against Black People Like Me', WeeklyStandard.com, March 25, 2014]</ref>

In a 2014 speech to graduating Topeka Kansas high school students on the 60th anniversary of ''Brown v. Board of Education'', Michelle warned that [[segregation]] is on the rise, “We know that today in America, too many folks are still stopped on the street because of the color of their skin..." <ref>[https://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/05/16/michelle-obama-to-students-brown-v-board-of-education-is-still-being-decided-every-single-day/ Michelle Obama to Students: Brown V. Board of Education Is ‘Still Being Decided Every Single Day’, TheBlaze.com, March 16, 2014]</ref>

==Ties to anti-Semitism==
While attending Princeton University, Michelle Obama joined two student groups, the Organization of Black Unity and the Third World Center. These groups were pro-Palestinian and had invited guest speaker Hassan Rahman of the [[PLO]] to the dismay of Jewish students. Rahman's comments were inflammatory, "reiterated the PLO’s position that the Palestinians deserve a homeland and that they are entitled to use terrorism [against Israel] to achieve their goal..." <ref>[https://dailycaller.com/2013/10/28/michelle-obama-and-cgi-federal-executive-belonged-to-student-group-at-princeton-that-hosted-pro-terrorist-speaker/#ixzz2jhb5Valn Michelle Obama and CGI Federal executive belonged to student group at Princeton that hosted pro-terrorist speaker, DailyCaller.com, 10-28-2013]</ref>

Michelle Obama wanted to honor the [[Antiamericanism|antiamerican]] and [[Antisemitism|antisemitc]] author [[Samira Ibrahim]]. Ibrahim had cited [[Adolf Hitler]] and was happy about the terrorist attacks on Israelis.<ref>http://nation.foxnews.com/samira-ibrahim/2013/03/07/michelle-obama-john-kerry-honor-author-anti-semitic-tweets</ref>

==University of Chicago Medical Center==
While Michelle was executive vice-president at the medical center, she connected with [[David Axelrod]]'s company "ASK Public Strategies" and along with Valerie Jarrett, promoted the Urban Health Initiative. The hospital gave their approval. Some are calling for an investigation because the result was a patient-dumping scheme to avoid dealing with Medicare/Medicaid patients.<ref>[https://hotair.com/archives/2009/07/23/video-did-michelle-obama-start-a-patient-dumping-program/ Video: Did Michelle Obama start a patient-dumping program? Hotair.com, July 23, 2009]</ref> In March 2009, the ''[[American Thinker]]'' wrote:
{{cquote|Substantial coverage was given to a recent indictment of the program by the American College of Emergency Physicians. ACEP's president, Dr. Nick Jouriles, released a statement suggesting that the initiative comes "dangerously close to ‘patient dumping,' a practice made illegal by the Emergency Medical Labor and Treatment Act, and reflected an effort to ‘cherry pick' wealthy patients over poor."<ref>https://www.americanthinker.com/2009/03/michelle_obamas_patientdumping_1.html</ref>}}

In September 2011 it was revealed that a close friend, advisor and donor of Barack Obama, Chicago's Dr. Eric Whitaker is facing financial fraud charges. Dr. Whitaker left his job in the Illinois Department of Public Health in 2007 to work with Michelle Obama as executive vice president at University of Chicago Medical Center.<ref>[http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2011/sep/close-obama-pal-embroiled-grant-fraud-scandal Close Obama Pal Embroiled In Grant Fraud Scandal, Judicial Watch, September 22, 2011]</ref>

==Support for late-term abortions==
Michelle Obama wrote a fund-raising letter during her partner's 2004 US Senate campaign claiming the [[partial birth abortion]] ban "is clearly unconstitutional" and "a flawed law." <ref>[http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2008/05/michelle_obamas.html Michelle Obama's partial birth abortion fund-raising letter, JillStanek.com, May 8, 2008]</ref> A late trimester abortion of a woman's pregnancy involves the jamming of scissors into the back of a child's head, Michelle describes it as "legitimate" medicine.

==Quotes while campaigning==

*"We have this window of opportunity; we have a chance to make something real happen. Something possible happen, to live beyond our fear, think about that, and help us.

==Michelle Obama and liberal elitism==

''For more information please see:'' [[Michelle Obama and liberal elitism]] ''and also see'' [[Barack Obama and liberal elitism]]

In 2008, the Huffington Post was reported that Michelle Obama wore $540 sneakers to a food bank.
<ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/29/michelle-obama-wears-silv_n_193138.html</ref>

[[Powerline]] offers the following criticism of Michelle Obama:
{{cquote|She says that she and Barack were born to parents of modest means, not with "silver spoons" in their mouths. Nobody knows the trouble they've seen. The burden of paying for her undergraduate education at [[Princeton]] and her law school education at [[Harvard]] has scarred her. It remains a motif of her stump speech. No one is accorded a chance to ask her if she thought about attending the University of Illinois, or if she's grateful for any of the financial assistance that facilitated her and her husband's attendance at the finest institutions of higher learning in the United States.<ref>http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/05/020456.php</ref>}}

Michelle Obama's [[liberal elite|liberal elitism]] is not surprising given the [[Barack Obama and liberal elitism|high degree of liberal elitism that Barack Obama continually displays]].

===Vacationing abuse on the taxpayers credit card===
While the average American suffers under Obamanomics of low wages, no job growth, higher energy costs and higher food prices, Michelle Obama is living the high life with White House parties and tens of millions of dollars worth of vacations.

Michelle Obama has taken 17 vacations since 2008 and plans to take her 18th vacation in [[Las Vegas]].<ref>[http://weaselzippers.us/2012/03/29/its-good-to-be-queen-mooch-heads-to-las-vegas-for-yet-another-vacation/ It’s Good To Be Queen: Mooch Heads To Las Vegas For Yet Another Vacation, WeaselZippers.us, March 29, 2012]</ref>

*Martha's Vineyard
*Las Vegas
*Africa
*Spain
*Mexico
*Ireland
*China

===Harvey Weinstein===
At an event organized by convicted [[rape|rapist]] and Democrat megadonor, [[Harvey Weinstein]], Michelle had this to say about the prominent liberal [[activist]] and donor to [[leftwing]] causes:
{{quotebox|I want to start by thanking Harvey Weinstein for organizing this amazing day. This is possible because of Harvey. He is a wonderful human being, a good friend, and just a powerhouse. And the fact that he and his team took the time to make this happen for all of you should say something, not about me or about this place, but about you all, right? Everybody! We are here because of you!<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pdB1XAVPC0</ref>}}
[[Whoopi Goldberg]] was also in attendance.

==Fashion disaster==

Michelle has been consistently ridiculed for her fashion choices. Since the age of television, the press has been keen to report on the First Lady's appearance by noting regal, stylish and elegant dresses she wears. The opposite can be said of Michelle. She makes headlines for sleeveless gowns, hideous color matching, $500 sneakers, always wearing torso belts, and exiting [[Air Force One]] in shorts and a T-shirt, among others. She gives the impression that she is trying to be a Diva, but in reality, she is far from being a trend-setter. In fact, reviews always return negative statements such as gaudy, tacky, and unbecoming of the role the First Lady inherits.<ref>[http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/chi-0226-sleeveless-michelle-obafeb26,0,3657652.story Some harrumph over Michelle Obama's sleeveless dress, Chicago Tribune, February 26, 2009]</ref><ref>[http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/06/16/fashion-designers-keep-pretending-michelle-obama-has-style/ Fashion Designers Keep Pretending Michelle Obama Has Style, thehotjoints.com, JUNE 16, 2009]</ref><ref>[http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/huggett/090611 Michelle Obama: First Lady of fashion victims, RenewAmerica.com, June 11, 2009]</ref><ref>[http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article6470675.ece Michelle Obama's Abbey outfit: stacked like a wedding cake – but nice colours, The Times, June 10, 2009]</ref>

==Bringing the Olympics to Chicago==
The First Lady, along with [[Oprah Winfrey]], traveled to [[Copenhagen]] to support Barack Obama's pitch for the Olympics in Chicago.

==Healthy eating initiative==

''See also:'' [[Overweight Obama administration officials]]

Michelle made the liberal media news cycle by promoting healthy eating from the White House garden. The food network filmed “Iron Chef America" showcasing Michelle's healthy food, cooking five dishes using the secret ingredient: produce from the [[White House]] garden. The two-hour special showed the chefs picking sweet potatoes, broccoli, fennel and tomatillos from the White House garden. An issue came to light that the foods were actually prepared in [[New York City]], speculating that the entire show was just staged to look like produce from her garden.<ref>[http://michellemalkin.com/2010/01/14/everythings-staged-michelle-obamas-garden-food-was-fake/ Everything’s staged: Michelle Obama’s garden food was fake, Michelle Malkin, January 14, 2010]</ref> Also, her campaign against obesity has not stopped her and Barack from [http://conservapedia.com/Liberal_hypocrisy#The_Obamas_and_obesity taking their children out for ice cream while on vacation].

In Michelle Obama's first interview on the [[Fox News]] network, she would tout her responsible-eating initiative for kids. She would highlight the Obama Administration's $400 million Healthy Food Financing Initiative and her "Let's Move" campaign, which educates the danger of obese children and healthy eating.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61I5E820100219 U.S. launches program to end "food deserts", February 19, 2010]</ref> She would tie the promises of the program to saying it would create 5000 jobs and pointed out that childhood obesity is a threat to national security. She urges children and parents to just skip "food desserts".

She would promote healthy eating initiatives for schools. Barack sought and passed legislation costing more than $4 billion. It is a horrible example of nanny state politics with draconian requirements on what can or cannot be sold at school bake sales and at the school cafeteria.

Psychiatrist Keith Ablow called Michelle too fat to preach about nutrition, "And how well could she be eating? She needs to drop a few", and "We’re taking nutrition advice from who?" <ref>[https://dailycaller.com/2014/08/13/fox-news-doc-calls-michelle-obama-too-fat-to-preach-about-nutrition-video/#ixzz3AP4fs56N Below The Belt? Fox News Doc Calls Michelle Obama Too Fat To Preach About Nutrition [VIDEO], DailyCaller.com, August 13th]</ref>

===Healthy eating failure===

Michelle's "healthy eating" initiative greatly compromised the lunch programs in American public schools, with many children opting instead to pack their lunches or simply skip lunch entirely out of a refusal to eat the options afforded to them. In some cases, children went hungry due to the small size portions. School districts suffered enormous financial losses. <ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/schools-want-out-of-michelle-obamas-lunch-rules-kids-say-yuck</ref>

In 2014, Republicans in Congress decided to strip her signature program, a decision she stated was 'unacceptable'. What wasn't unacceptable was the lunch her kids are fed in a private school. The prestigious Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., serves the following to students,<ref>[http://www.ijreview.com/2014/05/141806-public-school-kids-eat-healthy-lunches-obama-girls-dine-lunches-designed-chefs/ While Public School Kids Eat ‘Healthy Lunches,’ Washington Elites Served Meatball Subs, Ice Cream, ijreview.com, may 27, 2014]</ref>

==Legacy==

Mrs. Obama gave an interview to [[Oprah Winfrey]] where she petulantly said that Americans are like little children in need of constant minding:

:Past first ladies have provided similar end-of-term interviews, in which they tend to display both astonishment and relief that it’s all over, coupled with the proper magnanimity and graciousness toward the next family to reside in the White House. Yet, this time was different. Far from feel-good, Mrs. Obama seemed more like a frustrated mother lamenting the rebelliousness of her growing child.<ref> [https://www.nationalreview.com/article/443572/michelle-obama-first-lady-oprah-winfrey-interview-voters-children Mrs. Obama, We Are Not Your Kids] - ''National Review''</ref>

He calls for a "new [[reformation]]" that will eliminate theism from Christianity (essentially reframing it as a form of [[humanism]]).

Spong has made numerous assertions regarding perceived textual and logical issues in the [[New Testament]] in an attempt to debunk traditional Christian concepts (such as the bodily [[Resurrection of Jesus]]), with some of his textual criticisms attacking Christianity based on "key" Greek words that weren't even in the cited Biblical passage to begin with. <ref>https://creation.com/whats-wrong-with-bishop-spong#9</ref>

Anglicanism and Liberalism

2020-05-25T01:37:03Z

TheAntiWikipedian: New page discussing liberal theology and social liberalism within Anglicanism.

'''Anglicanism''' (also known as [[Episcopalianism]] outside of the [[United Kingdom]]) is a term used to describe the [[Christian]] tradition started by the [[Church of England]]. Anglicans, represented by the [[Anglican Communion]], are currently the third largest Christian division behind [[Roman Catholicism]] and [[Eastern Orthodoxy]].
Like most [[mainline]] protestant movements, Anglicanism has seen a decline<ref>https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/church-of-england-sees-dramatic-decline</ref> since the 20th century as a result of [[secularization]], low birth rates among members, and (especially in the [[United States]]) the general shift of protestantism toward [[evangelical]] forms of worship. This decline coincides with an marked embrace by many Anglican denominations and parishes of [[liberalism]] in terms of social politics, church structure, and [[theology]], sometimes to the point of outright [[heresy]].

==Early History==
Along with other mainline protestants, Anglicans took part in the [[social gospel]] movement of the 20th century, which stressed social reform and occasionally expressed [[socialist]] leanings.

==Atheistic Clergy==
The Anglican Communion has been known to employ some [[clergy]] who openly lack a belief in [[God]], or are otherwise highly doubtful and critical of scriptural doctrine. In most cases, this occurs as a result of older clergy losing their faith over time but remaining with the church, which in the case of the Church of England is allowed by technicality due to the church’s governing body rejecting the idea of “heresy trials” (the removal of clergy who fail to adhere to church teachings or practices). <ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/survey-finds-2-of-anglican-priests-are-not-believers-9821899.html</ref>

The history of Anglican clergy outright rejecting scriptural teachings can be traced at least to the 1980s, when [[Bishop]] of Durham David Jenkins caused controversy by publicly casting doubt on the [[virgin birth]] and [[resurrection of Jesus]]<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/06/david-jenkins-bishop-durham-biblical-facts-fire-york-minster</ref>. The issue has only grown since this case, with a 2014 survey suggesting that as many as 16% of Anglican [[priests]] in England are [[agnostic]], with 2% being [[atheists]]. <ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/survey-finds-2-of-anglican-priests-are-not-believers-9821899.html</ref>

While best documented within the Church of England itself, this phenomenon is not limited to the UK and can also be observed within the US [[Episcopal Church]], in which the atheist John Shelby Spong served as Bishop of [[Newark]] for 21 years, during which he released numerous books attacking established Christian theology, finally ending his tenure with the publication of his book “A New Christianity for a New World”, a work which attacks [[theism]] in favor of a symbolic view of [[God]] and promotes the opinion of a small minority of Biblical scholars that [[Judas Iscariot]] did not exist and was an [[anti-semitic]] creation, among other claims. <ref>https://www.christiancentury.org/reviews/2011-04/new-christianity-new-world-john-shelby-spong</ref>

==Abortion==
While nominally disapproving of [[abortion]], the Episcopal Church considers abortion to be “a woman’s right” and opposes any [[pro-life]] legislation which would restrict the availability of abortion. <ref>https://episcopalchurch.org/posts/ogr/summary-general-convention-resolutions-abortion-and-womens-reproductive-health</ref>

==Feminism==
Most denominations within the Anglican Communion support the [[ordination of women]] into the priesthood to some degree, while some traditions vary on whether or not women are allowed to become bishops or have to remain priests or deacons.

In 2015, a group of female bishops within the Church of England lead a heretical campaign to remove God’s masculine pronouns from formal Church [[liturgy]], declaring them “deficient” and “outdated” as well as effectively arguing for God to be referred to as genderless or even female<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/01/church-of-england-womens-group-bishops</ref>, in contrast to what has been taught by the Bible and thousands of years of [[Judeo-Christian]] belief. While this change to the liturgy was ultimately not approved by the church’s governing body, it can be seen as a sign of the times in regard to the extent of [[feminism]] within theology.

==Homosexual Agenda==
The various denominations of the Anglican Communion have differing views on homosexuality, with the Episcopal Church being the most lenient, overwhelmingly supporting [[same-sex marriage]] since 2015 and allowing the ordination of gay, [[bisexual]], and [[transgender]] clergy. The Episcopal Church participates in [[gay pride]] events, often decorating church facilities in rainbow flag motifs. <ref>https://episcopalchurch.org/lgbtq-church</ref>

==Conservative Anglican Response==
Liberalizing trends in Anglican theology and practice have not remained unchallenged, as groups within the Church of England and Episcopal Churches alike have voiced opposition to these trends, which they see as compromising and “capitulating to secular values”<ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/conservative-anglicans-open-revolt-against-church-englands-capitulation-secular-lgbt-values.html</ref>. In 2017, 22 conservative Anglican clergymen (including Gavin Ashenden, former [[chaplain]] to [[Queen Elizabeth II]]) signed a letter to the Church of England stating that the Church “has a duty to be counter-cultural in the face of social disintegration” and threatening a schism if traditional views continue to be marginalized within the Church.

In 2009, the [[Anglican Church in North America]]<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/Anglican-Church-in-North-America</ref> broke away from the Episcopal Church in protest of liberal reforms, quickly establishing itself as a conservative force within Anglicanism. It currently serves over 100,000 members. <ref>https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2008/december/149-43.0.html</ref>

I would like to upload the picture at https://www.canadianatheists.ca/profile/randolf-richardson.png to the new article I created at https://www.conservapedia.com/Randolf_Richardson so that I can make it match the format of the article about David Silverman at https://www.conservapedia.com/David_Silverman (I want to add more to this article as I dig up more dirt about him because he was very rude about Jesus to one of my friends who was in tears, so his bad deeds needs to be exposed once I have evidence that can be checked and verified).

Amen. {{unsigned|Macy Rhume}}

::::::Oh wow. I should have noticed that blank space--thanks for pointing it out! I think I've fixed it. In regard to licensing, images made by the U.S. federal government are in the public domain. However, individual states and towns sometimes make copyright claims on their materials. Whether Kentucky does that I do not know, but without researching KY law, I didn't dare list it as PD. If you find out that they do release to the PD, feel free to update it.

==Article: Patrick Connick==
The article won't come up; its says "Create the page "Patrick Connick" on this wiki!", but the page has already been created. Please check on this. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] ([[User talk:BHathorn|talk]]) 15:42, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but here's a speculation. Most of the time, when a CP page is created, the URL for it is just conservapedia.com/(article_title), with the spaces in the title replaced with underscores, non-alphanumerical symbols replaced with etc. etc. For instance, the URL for the CP page [[Democrat Party]] is conservapedia.com/Democrat_Party, the URL for the CP page [[Vladimir Putin]] is conservapedia.com/Vladimir_Putin, etc. However, for the Patrick Connick content page, the URL is conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B, not conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 15:58, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Something else interesting: I entered "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" into the search, but the article did not pop up, and no results popped up either. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 16:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

Correct, the article name was literally: "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B". This can happen when you copy-and-paste text. There are special, invisible characters on some pages which will be unintentionally copied along with the text you are trying to get (in this case, the name "Patrick Connick"). They cannot show as invisible in a URL though, so they are encoded with "%" and the two-digit character ID. In this case, there were 6 special characters. I have removed these special characters from the page name, so it should work correctly now. For best results in the future, try to type in the text manually, rather than copying it. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 16:47, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:If the article name was "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B", then how come no results show up when I enter it into the search bar? --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 17:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Technically, the article name contains the special characters themselves, not the encoded version of them. These are not [https://perishablepress.com/url-character-codes/ common special characters] I can look up easily, but I assume they are blank characters. So if you use a [https://www.url-encode-decode.com/ URI decoder], the decoded output of "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" will appear to be simply "Patrick_Connick". However, if you copy the output from that decoding into the CP search box, it will take you to the bad article name (which is now a redirect to the correct one). These characters are invisible, and the only way we can see them in this case is when they are encoded into the URL. If you want to find the page with this bad name, you need to search for the article name with those actual special characters after it, since the wiki software does not do URI encoding. I was trying to keep it simple, though, which is why I generalized by saying that the page name is "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:18, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::::You're welcome...I probably didn't do a great job explaining it, but web browsers use what is called "URI encoding," sometimes called "percent encoding".

TheAntiWikipedian: Link to Kehinde Wiley page + clarification on the last example

[[File:President Barack Obama.jpg|thumb|right|150px|President Obama]]
This article lists examples of [[Bias in Wikipedia]], related to [[Barack Hussein Obama]]:
# In a most deceitful, [[Fascism#Inspiration for the New Deal|fascist]] political tactic [[Wikipedia|Wikipedia's]] biography on [[Barack Obama]] discusses in detail his early childhood from when his parents met in 1960 to 1994 when Obama first served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago. Then the article skips 1995 when Obama accepted the nomination and ran as a candidate of a [[Marxist]] political party called the [[New Party]],<ref>http://www.opencongress.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Political_career</ref> and it jumps ahead to after "Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Political_career:_1996.E2.80.932008</ref> The stink of intellectual corruption in Wikipedia reeks of deceit, censoring an entire year of Barack Obama's life as a candidate before he got elected.<ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/Barack_Hussein_Obama#Illinois_State_Senate_.281995-2005.29</ref>
# [[Barack Obama]] cannot give a coherent speech without reading from a [[teleprompter]],<ref>Obama "uses a teleprompter during most speeches and even brief remarks" [http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world-news/when-obamas-teleprompter-crashed-mid-speech_100217852.html]</ref> and even had two of them set up in an elementary school just to talk to reporters there. But Wikipedia's lengthy entry about Obama does not mention the teleprompter, not even once.
#Wikipedia lists Factcheck.org as a "non-partisan" "'consumer advocate' for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics."<ref>ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FactCheck</ref> However, two attempted edits were deleted pointing out factcheck.org falsely claims that Barry Soetoro (''aka'' [[Barack Obama]]) has produced his birth certificate: "FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate."<ref>ref: https://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html</ref> This claim contradicts the fact that the document they refer to is a copy of a Certificate Of Live Birth, produced in 2007, as opposed to a Birth Certificate. While later in the page, it states that detractors claim it is a "'certification of birth', not a 'certificate of birth'" (actually "Certificate Of Live Birth" and "Birth Certificate" respectively). Factcheck.org clouds the verbage by getting the actual terms wrong and presenting the two items as synonymous.<ref>''Ibid.''</ref>
#In the wake of the official release of President Obama's long-form birth certificate, editors have engaged in an edit war in Wikipedia in their article<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_born_citizen</ref> on the subject, as key references to Vatell about the meaning of ''natural-born citizen'' were forcibly removed.<ref>https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=293069</ref><ref>https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=294221</ref> Within a week, "sanitizing" of sorts took place on other online dictionaries and reference sites,<ref>http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1477742/pg1</ref> as each revision sought to push the idea that the Constitution's ''natural-born'' clause should refer to anyone born in the United States regardless of the immigration status of the parents.
#[[Barack Obama]] lost by a 2-1 margin in a congressional primary in 2000, but Wikipedia reduces that fact to merely one hard-to-find sentence amid its exaggerated praise.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama</ref>
#[[Wikipedia]]'s entry on [[Barack Obama]] claims that he "was selected as an editor of the law review based on his grades and a writing competition,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama</ref> when in fact the Harvard Law Review has long used racial quotas for admission.<ref>http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=513672 (partially explaining the race-based selection system)</ref>
# Wikipedia added a "Controversies" sections to their article for the "Presidency of George W. Bush"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Presidency_of_George_W._Bush&oldid=282227871#Controversies_and_criticism</ref> but not to their article on the "Presidency of Barack Obama"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Barack_Obama</ref> It has since been removed.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Presidency_of_George_W._Bush&diff=282810799&oldid=282227871</ref>
# In addition to the previous example, there was a massive Wikipedia article for "Criticism of George W. Bush,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criticism_of_George_W._Bush&oldid=278422248</ref> but the article for "Criticism of Barack Obama" had been deleted at least ''FOUR TIMES'' since October 2008 with excuses like "Article that has no meaningful, substantive content" and "Attack page or negative unsourced BLP."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Barack_Obama</ref> Wikipedia has since redirected "Criticism of George W. Bush" and added "Public image of" articles for both presidents, however President Bush's article is heavily negative<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_George_W._Bush</ref> while President Obama's is filled with glowing, pandering fluff with very few meaningful criticisms.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Barack_Obama</ref>
# The article about the legitimate questions surrounding President Obama's birth certificate is entitled "Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_citizenship_conspiracy_theories</ref> however one is hard-pressed to find such bold use of the phrase "conspiracy theory" in articles about Dominionism,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism</ref> the 9/11 Truth movement,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Truth</ref> and many other conspiracy theories that the left favors. The article also describes advocates of the questions as "fringe" several times despite including the likes of Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, but the same word is only used once in the 9/11 Truth movement article (and it uses it in a quote stating that the movement isn't fringe) and not at all in the Dominionism article.
#Wikipedia made no mention of the fact that President [[Obama]]'s Attorney General [[Eric Holder]] called the United States a "nation of cowards"<ref>http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-090218.html?loc=interstitialskip</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Holder&oldid=273538810</ref><ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-balan/2009/02/19/cnn-talking-heads-unanimously-praise-holders-coward-remarks</ref> when it comes to the discussion of race until about two weeks after Holder insulted America.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Holder&diff=next&oldid=274455687</ref> In typical Wikipedia fashion, it was made to sound as if only conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh objected to the attorney general's crass insult and obvious contempt for the citizens of the United States of America. As of 3/8/09, there is no mention on Wikipedia of Obama's rebuke of Holder's "cowards" insult or of the fact that Holder wants an assault weapons ban.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Holder&oldid=275247574</ref>
#Wikipedia feels that the [[Barack Obama]] article should omit any mention of [[William Ayers]] and the [[Weather Underground]]. Wikipedia's mobocracy has decided that you, the public, have no need to learn about Obama's past relationships that made national headlines. No mention of Obama's ties to [[ACORN]] either.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&diff=302499449&oldid=302497807</ref>
# Wikipedia covers for Obama and his [[Libyan War 2011|Libyan war]]. The 287,304 byte-long Wikipedia article "[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2011_Libyan_civil_war&oldid=437395874 2011 Libyan civil war]" mentions Obama's name once, the very last sentence. Despite the UN, NATO, France and now [[Sudan]]<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/07/sudanese-army-seizes-southern-libyan-town-400-miles-into-libya/</ref> participating, Wikipedia calls it a civil war.
# Wikipedia does not make any mention of the man who influenced Obama, [[John Maynard Keynes]]' known [[deceit|fraud]] and pedophilia.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Maynard_Keynes</ref>
#Wikipedia's Template:Infobox and elsewhere still maintains the fiction that [[Barack Hussein Obama]] was a "Professor of Constitutional Law," whereas [[White House]] Press Secretary [[Robert Gibbs]] has flatly denied Obama ever taught constitutional law. [https://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Briefing-by-White-House-Press-Secretary-Robert-Gibbs-4-14-09/]
# Wikipedia's article<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Barack_Obama_(painting)</ref> regarding [[Kehinde Wiley]]'s official portrait of Obama makes no mention of the artist's history of painting overtly [[racist]] works in which [[white people]] are being beheaded <ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/artists/obama-portrait-painterkehinde-wileys-past-work-depicted-black/</ref>, despite this fact causing considerable controversy when the painting was originally unveiled.
# Wikipedia's article on [[Donald Trump]] is a hit piece consisting mainly of negative statements and allegations, including an entire section<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#False_statements</ref> dedicated to how "fact-checkers" and "academics" from [[CNN]] and other [[left-wing]] news outlets have concluded that Trump has made up to 18,000 false statements since taking office (though no examples are listed), a ridiculous allegation which is presented as fact by Wikipedia. Obama's article, by contrast, paints a glowing image of the former president and contains no such section regarding "false statements", even though Obama was frequently derided for making false statements while in office <ref>https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/list/?category=&ruling=false&speaker=barack-obama</ref>.

Kehinde Wiley

2020-05-24T05:39:54Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Page creation for "Kehinde Wiley', a painter favored by Obama who has a past of creating racist artwork

'''Kehinde Wiley''' (born February 28, 1977) is an American [[portrait]] [[painter]] who specializes in [[baroque]]-inspired portraits of [[African-American]] subjects, with some of which featuring macabre and negative depictions of [[white people]]<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kehinde-wiley-painted-black-woman-severed-head/</ref>. In 2017, former President [[Barack Obama]] commissioned Wiley to paint his own portrait for the [[Smithsonian]] National Portrait Gallery, a choice which was highly criticized given Wiley's history of creating [[racist]] paintings.

==Obama Portrait==
Widely mistaken for the official Presidential portrait of Obama, Wiley's portrait for the Smithsonian features the former President seated in a wooden chair and superimposed over a background of various foliage meant to represent Obama's heritage and past residency. The portrait was unveiled by Obama and Wiley at the National Portrait Gallery on February 12, 2018, along with Amy Sherald's portrait of [[Michelle Obama]]. <ref>https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/12/politics/obama-portrait-unveiling/index.html</ref>

The portrait was unveiled to much fanfare and praise in the [[mainstream media]], with commentators and journalists saluting the work as "powerful" and praising Wiley for his depictions of Obama and other black Americans<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/kehinde-wiley-on-painting-president-obama-michael-jackson-and-the-people-of-ferguson</ref>.

==Racist Artwork==
Prior to painting Obama's portrait, Wiley was little-known outside of art circles in [[New York]], [[Los Angeles]], and [[Seattle]], with his 2005 painting "Napoleon Leading the Army Across the Alps" (an African-American take on "[[Napoleon]] Crossing the Alps") perhaps being his most famous work.
With the unveiling of the Obama portrait, however, many came to find that Wiley had twice painted depictions of black women [[beheading]] white women, with both paintings having been completed in 2012. While this fact caused significant [[controversy]] on [[social media]], mainstream news sources either ignored it or attempted to make excuses<ref>https://indyweek.com/news/recent-backlash-kehinde-wiley-s-work-ncma-gets-wrong-art-s-past-present/</ref>, pointing out that the paintings were meant to depict [[Judith]] beheading [[Holofernes]] in the [[Bible]], a tidbit which does not explain why "Holofernes" is depicted as a woman and caucasian.
Furthermore, Wiley himself has referred to the beheading paintings as "kill whitey" paintings<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/artists/obama-portrait-painterkehinde-wileys-past-work-depicted-black/</ref>. It is not clear how Obama became aware of Wiley's art, nor his opinions on Wiley's racist past.

==Kehinde Wiley and Liberal Hypocrisy==
Kehinde Wiley's paintings (and their subsequent public response) can be seen as illustrating [[liberal hypocrisy]] in at least two different ways. For one, they show the mainstream media's willingness to ignore blatant racism (the "kill whitey" paintings) when it doesn't help to further their agenda, and they also showcase a willingness to ignore what would have otherwise been considered "[[cultural appropriation]]" (Wiley's depictions of people of other cultures and ethnicities as conforming to his own, as in the case of the Napoleon painting).

== Want to upload a picture of the person for a new article I created ==

I would like to upload the picture at https://www.canadianatheists.ca/profile/randolf-richardson.png to the new article I created at https://www.conservapedia.com/Randolf_Richardson so that I can make it match the format of the article about David Silverman at https://www.conservapedia.com/David_Silverman (I want to add more to this article as I dig up more dirt about him because he was very rude about Jesus to one of my friends who was in tears, so his bad deeds needs to be exposed once I have evidence that can be checked and verified).

Amen. {{unsigned|Macy Rhume}}

:::Thank you DavidB4! Just curious though, how come there is extraneous space in the picture?

::::That's a good question. It sounds like a problem we would need to troubleshoot in the template code. You could try inserting other images just to test, and see if they have the same issue. I suppose it is possible that a different image shape could work around this problem. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:45, 7 April 2020 (EDT)

:::::I don't think it's the template code that's the problem. Because the image you uploaded had empty space on both the left and the right and there was more space on the left, it appears (on the [[Jenean Hampton|content page]] in the template) to be small and right of center. Do you suppose you can re-upload the image without the extraneous space? I was not initially aware that there was the empty space in the original file in the source linked.
:::::Also, out of topic, but is the image in public domain? It wasn't specified in the website, and it says "Official Portrait" and looks like it's most likely a government picture. In addition, the image was apparently used [https://www.wdrb.com/bevin-and-hampton---official-portraits-ky-gov-jpg/image_1e9418a4-8642-11e9-946a-0fca1d07d828.html here] and the file was attributed to ky.gov, which would be a government website.

::::::Oh wow. I should have noticed that blank space--thanks for pointing it out! I think I've fixed it. In regard to licensing, images made by the U.S. federal government are in the public domain. However, individual states and towns sometimes make copyright claims on their materials. Whether Kentucky does that I do not know, but without researching KY law, I didn't dare list it as PD. If you find out that they do release to the PD, feel free to update it.

==Article: Patrick Connick==
The article won't come up; its says "Create the page "Patrick Connick" on this wiki!", but the page has already been created. Please check on this. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] ([[User talk:BHathorn|talk]]) 15:42, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but here's a speculation. Most of the time, when a CP page is created, the URL for it is just conservapedia.com/(article_title), with the spaces in the title replaced with underscores, non-alphanumerical symbols replaced with etc. etc. For instance, the URL for the CP page [[Democrat Party]] is conservapedia.com/Democrat_Party, the URL for the CP page [[Vladimir Putin]] is conservapedia.com/Vladimir_Putin, etc. However, for the Patrick Connick content page, the URL is conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B, not conservapedia.com/Patrick_Connick. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 15:58, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Something else interesting: I entered "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" into the search, but the article did not pop up, and no results popped up either. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 16:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

Correct, the article name was literally: "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B". This can happen when you copy-and-paste text. There are special, invisible characters on some pages which will be unintentionally copied along with the text you are trying to get (in this case, the name "Patrick Connick"). They cannot show as invisible in a URL though, so they are encoded with "%" and the two-digit character ID. In this case, there were 6 special characters. I have removed these special characters from the page name, so it should work correctly now. For best results in the future, try to type in the text manually, rather than copying it. --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 16:47, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

:If the article name was "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B", then how come no results show up when I enter it into the search bar? --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]''''' 17:02, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::Technically, the article name contains the special characters themselves, not the encoded version of them. These are not [https://perishablepress.com/url-character-codes/ common special characters] I can look up easily, but I assume they are blank characters. So if you use a [https://www.url-encode-decode.com/ URI decoder], the decoded output of "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" will appear to be simply "Patrick_Connick". However, if you copy the output from that decoding into the CP search box, it will take you to the bad article name (which is now a redirect to the correct one). These characters are invisible, and the only way we can see them in this case is when they are encoded into the URL. If you want to find the page with this bad name, you need to search for the article name with those actual special characters after it, since the wiki software does not do URI encoding. I was trying to keep it simple, though, which is why I generalized by saying that the page name is "Patrick_Connick%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B" --[[User:DavidB4|DavidB4]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 18:18, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

::::You're welcome...I probably didn't do a great job explaining it, but web browsers use what is called "URI encoding," sometimes called "percent encoding".

Examples of Bias in Wikipedia: Obama

2020-05-24T03:40:17Z

TheAntiWikipedian: Added two examples of bias in Wikipedia's coverage of Obama. One regarding the omission of a well-known portrait controversy, and one regarding the contrast in tone toward Trump as compared to Obama.

[[File:President Barack Obama.jpg|thumb|right|150px|President Obama]]
This article lists examples of [[Bias in Wikipedia]], related to [[Barack Hussein Obama]]:
# In a most deceitful, [[Fascism#Inspiration for the New Deal|fascist]] political tactic [[Wikipedia|Wikipedia's]] biography on [[Barack Obama]] discusses in detail his early childhood from when his parents met in 1960 to 1994 when Obama first served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago. Then the article skips 1995 when Obama accepted the nomination and ran as a candidate of a [[Marxist]] political party called the [[New Party]],<ref>http://www.opencongress.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Political_career</ref> and it jumps ahead to after "Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Political_career:_1996.E2.80.932008</ref> The stink of intellectual corruption in Wikipedia reeks of deceit, censoring an entire year of Barack Obama's life as a candidate before he got elected.<ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/Barack_Hussein_Obama#Illinois_State_Senate_.281995-2005.29</ref>
# [[Barack Obama]] cannot give a coherent speech without reading from a [[teleprompter]],<ref>Obama "uses a teleprompter during most speeches and even brief remarks" [http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world-news/when-obamas-teleprompter-crashed-mid-speech_100217852.html]</ref> and even had two of them set up in an elementary school just to talk to reporters there. But Wikipedia's lengthy entry about Obama does not mention the teleprompter, not even once.
#Wikipedia lists Factcheck.org as a "non-partisan" "'consumer advocate' for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics."<ref>ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FactCheck</ref> However, two attempted edits were deleted pointing out factcheck.org falsely claims that Barry Soetoro (''aka'' [[Barack Obama]]) has produced his birth certificate: "FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate."<ref>ref: https://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html</ref> This claim contradicts the fact that the document they refer to is a copy of a Certificate Of Live Birth, produced in 2007, as opposed to a Birth Certificate. While later in the page, it states that detractors claim it is a "'certification of birth', not a 'certificate of birth'" (actually "Certificate Of Live Birth" and "Birth Certificate" respectively). Factcheck.org clouds the verbage by getting the actual terms wrong and presenting the two items as synonymous.<ref>''Ibid.''</ref>
#In the wake of the official release of President Obama's long-form birth certificate, editors have engaged in an edit war in Wikipedia in their article<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_born_citizen</ref> on the subject, as key references to Vatell about the meaning of ''natural-born citizen'' were forcibly removed.<ref>https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=293069</ref><ref>https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=294221</ref> Within a week, "sanitizing" of sorts took place on other online dictionaries and reference sites,<ref>http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1477742/pg1</ref> as each revision sought to push the idea that the Constitution's ''natural-born'' clause should refer to anyone born in the United States regardless of the immigration status of the parents.
#[[Barack Obama]] lost by a 2-1 margin in a congressional primary in 2000, but Wikipedia reduces that fact to merely one hard-to-find sentence amid its exaggerated praise.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama</ref>
#[[Wikipedia]]'s entry on [[Barack Obama]] claims that he "was selected as an editor of the law review based on his grades and a writing competition,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama</ref> when in fact the Harvard Law Review has long used racial quotas for admission.<ref>http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=513672 (partially explaining the race-based selection system)</ref>
# Wikipedia added a "Controversies" sections to their article for the "Presidency of George W. Bush"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Presidency_of_George_W._Bush&oldid=282227871#Controversies_and_criticism</ref> but not to their article on the "Presidency of Barack Obama"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Barack_Obama</ref> It has since been removed.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Presidency_of_George_W._Bush&diff=282810799&oldid=282227871</ref>
# In addition to the previous example, there was a massive Wikipedia article for "Criticism of George W. Bush,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criticism_of_George_W._Bush&oldid=278422248</ref> but the article for "Criticism of Barack Obama" had been deleted at least ''FOUR TIMES'' since October 2008 with excuses like "Article that has no meaningful, substantive content" and "Attack page or negative unsourced BLP."<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Barack_Obama</ref> Wikipedia has since redirected "Criticism of George W. Bush" and added "Public image of" articles for both presidents, however President Bush's article is heavily negative<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_George_W._Bush</ref> while President Obama's is filled with glowing, pandering fluff with very few meaningful criticisms.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_image_of_Barack_Obama</ref>
# The article about the legitimate questions surrounding President Obama's birth certificate is entitled "Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories,"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_citizenship_conspiracy_theories</ref> however one is hard-pressed to find such bold use of the phrase "conspiracy theory" in articles about Dominionism,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism</ref> the 9/11 Truth movement,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Truth</ref> and many other conspiracy theories that the left favors. The article also describes advocates of the questions as "fringe" several times despite including the likes of Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, but the same word is only used once in the 9/11 Truth movement article (and it uses it in a quote stating that the movement isn't fringe) and not at all in the Dominionism article.
#Wikipedia made no mention of the fact that President [[Obama]]'s Attorney General [[Eric Holder]] called the United States a "nation of cowards"<ref>http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-090218.html?loc=interstitialskip</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Holder&oldid=273538810</ref><ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-balan/2009/02/19/cnn-talking-heads-unanimously-praise-holders-coward-remarks</ref> when it comes to the discussion of race until about two weeks after Holder insulted America.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Holder&diff=next&oldid=274455687</ref> In typical Wikipedia fashion, it was made to sound as if only conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh objected to the attorney general's crass insult and obvious contempt for the citizens of the United States of America. As of 3/8/09, there is no mention on Wikipedia of Obama's rebuke of Holder's "cowards" insult or of the fact that Holder wants an assault weapons ban.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Holder&oldid=275247574</ref>
#Wikipedia feels that the [[Barack Obama]] article should omit any mention of [[William Ayers]] and the [[Weather Underground]]. Wikipedia's mobocracy has decided that you, the public, have no need to learn about Obama's past relationships that made national headlines. No mention of Obama's ties to [[ACORN]] either.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&diff=302499449&oldid=302497807</ref>
# Wikipedia covers for Obama and his [[Libyan War 2011|Libyan war]]. The 287,304 byte-long Wikipedia article "[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2011_Libyan_civil_war&oldid=437395874 2011 Libyan civil war]" mentions Obama's name once, the very last sentence. Despite the UN, NATO, France and now [[Sudan]]<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/07/sudanese-army-seizes-southern-libyan-town-400-miles-into-libya/</ref> participating, Wikipedia calls it a civil war.
# Wikipedia does not make any mention of the man who influenced Obama, [[John Maynard Keynes]]' known [[deceit|fraud]] and pedophilia.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Maynard_Keynes</ref>
#Wikipedia's Template:Infobox and elsewhere still maintains the fiction that [[Barack Hussein Obama]] was a "Professor of Constitutional Law," whereas [[White House]] Press Secretary [[Robert Gibbs]] has flatly denied Obama ever taught constitutional law. [https://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Briefing-by-White-House-Press-Secretary-Robert-Gibbs-4-14-09/]
# Wikipedia's article<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Barack_Obama_(painting)</ref> regarding Kehinde Wiley's official portrait of Obama makes no mention of the artist's history of painting overtly [[racist]] works in which [[white people]] are being beheaded <ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/artists/obama-portrait-painterkehinde-wileys-past-work-depicted-black/</ref>, despite this fact causing considerable controversy when the painting was originally unveiled.
# Wikipedia's article on [[Donald Trump]] is a hit piece consisting mainly of negative statements and allegations, including an entire section<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#False_statements</ref> dedicated to how "fact-checkers" and "academics" from [[CNN]] and other [[left-wing]] news outlets have concluded that Trump has made 18,000 false statements since taking office (though no examples are listed), a ridiculous allegation which is presented as fact by Wikipedia. Obama's article, by contrast, paints a glowing image of the former president and contains no such section regarding "false statements", even though Obama was frequently derided for making false statements while in office <ref>https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/list/?category=&ruling=false&speaker=barack-obama</ref>.

| Wikidemon, Grsz11, Tarc, and Scjessey accused Stevertigo, Grundle2600, and ChildofMidnight of "edit warring" and "disrupting the encyclopedia". Grundle2600 accused those wanting him blocked of being Obama supporters "afraid of people finding the truth" and censorship. ChildofMidnight accused Tarc, Scjessey, Wikidemon, and Baseball Bugs of teaming up to remove material critical of Obama, and using personal attacks and incivility. Stevertigo accused Sceptre, Wikidemon, Tarc, Grsz11, and Bobblehead of censoring discussions about including material controversial for Obama, and taking turns reverting the edits to cause violation of the 3RR rule, then claiming those who reinsert the calls for critical material are "edit warring" .
| The Arbcom committee concluded Stevertigo had edit warred and canvassed for support, that Sceptre had edit warred and stalked Stevertigo reverting his edits elsewhere and engaging in edit summary attacks, that Grsz had engaged in incivil edit summaries, that Wikidemon had teamed up with Sceptre to edit war including to add comments back on a user's talk page they'd removed, that Tarc had engaged in incivility in comments and edit summaries, that ChildofMidnight edit warred, canvassed, and deleted material, resulting in a block, that Scjessey engaged in incivility and personal attacks, canvassed, removed parts of an AfD discussion, and stalked ChildofMidnight's edits, that Baseball Bugs was incivil and removed talk page discussions while using it as a forum himself, and that Grundle2600 edit warred and was blocked as a result.
