== Conservapedia should revive the activity of its Twitter account, IMO ==

Hi Andy, RobSmith and I seem to concur that it would benefit Conservapedia to promote itself via Twitter (especially now that the era of censorship is over). Especially with page view growth being sluggish, having an extra significant source of directing web traffic could be drastically beneficial. What are your thoughts on this? —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Exodus 23:2)</sup>]]''''' Friday, 16:34, December 9, 2022 (EST)

== Improving the wiki ==

Hi Andy, I notice that plenty of article titles on Conservapedia follow incorrect grammar styles/formats, whether <s>its</s> it's (yeah, pun intended) outdated spelling, capitalization of common nouns (in words notwithstanding the first word of the title), lowercase usage of proper nouns, usage of hyphens instead of en-dashes, etc. Since I don't want to bother you or other administrators continuously to move every article I notice whose title needs adjustments, may I please have the "move" tag so I can do some important tasks myself as part of improving the site?

== Wow, your warnings of Tom Cotton two years ago were farsighted and brilliantly accurate ==

Back in late August 2020, [[Special:Diff/1680188|you said]] of Sen. [[Tom Cotton]] (who I thought of back then as a staunch conservative):
{{cquote|... Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, favored by the neocons who have influence with the [[Fox News Channel]] and some donors ...|||[[Andrew Schlafly]], August 29, 2020}}

And from the [https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-republican-senators-who-voted-pass-1-7-trillion-omnibus-bill-1769176 very recent news earlier tonight], Cotton voted for the massive omnibus [https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/12/20/democrats-omnibus-gives-billions-to-irs-for-enforcement-n2617355 which will bolster the police state] (aka [[Deep State]])... which neoconservatives played a hand in creating back in the 2000s. Now, on another note, "reports" [https://www.aol.com/news/tom-cotton-won-t-run-023838433.html claimed that Cotton won't run for president in 2024], and some fake news headlines left out the "reports said" part and simply say "Cotton won't run for president." IMO, something shady is going on.  —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Exodus 23:2)</sup>]]''''' Friday, 22:42, December 22, 2022 (EST)
:Thanks for your feedback!  [[Tom Cotton]] is being groomed by the [[neocon]]s and [[globalist]]s for a presidential run in 2028.  He's a pro-war, lock-'em-up strongman.  He's a formidable candidate, although he lacks crossover appeal as a senator from [[Arkansas]].

::I never was the biggest fan of Cotton, but it wasn't until early 2020 that I started seeing him as the dangerous demagogue he is. He along with Mike Pompeo were among the first to jump on the "China made COVID happen on purpose" bandwagon, and since then they have been using it to build a case for a military conflict with a country that has the world's largest population, the world's largest economy, and the world's third most powerful military. Not to mention over 1,000 nuclear weapons. It's absolute insanity, and it's the central reason why I suspect that the CIA, ''not'' the CCP, was responsible for the lab leak.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:02, December 22, 2022 (EST)
:::Sounds like an interesting analysis, and it's certainly not the first time that the CIA tries pushing the U.S. into the brink of world war. Back in the 1960s, CIA Director Charles P. Cabell was fired by [[JFK]] in the wake of the [[Bay of Pigs invasion]]. The CIA back then pushed militant "anti-Communism" to the point of seeking outright direct war with Communist-controlled countries, and was tied to a "shadow government" run by a gang of Dallas oilmen, including [[Jack Crichton]], who financed pro-Batista revolutionaries. There's some speculation that the CIA directly coordinated the JFK assassination as revenge for Kennedy's efforts to "quietly" deplete their funding in proposed budget plans. Crichton, a member of the OSS (which evolved into the CIA) who established powerful connections to run the "shadow government," was connected to almost all aspects of the assassination. Director Cabell's brother, Earle Cabell, the mayor of Dallas at the time of the assassination, was a CIA asset since the late 1950s, reportedly loathed JFK, and plotted the unsafe motorcade route. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Exodus 23:2)</sup>]]''''' Friday, 23:14, December 22, 2022 (EST)

:: (edit conflict) Geopolitician, that is "out there" but I enjoyed your outlandish comment.  I'm not sure how strong Cotton and Pompeo were against China concerning [[COVID-19]].  [[Trump]]'s outspokenness on it seem more than anyone, and Trump is anti-war.  Placing blame on China for Covid can mean liability more than a military conflict.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 23:08, December 22, 2022 (EST)
:::Trump didn't want a conflict with China, he wanted a trade deal with it. Now, how much of a coincidence do you think it is that the virus was released while Trump and Xi were in late-stage negotiations for the "Phase 1" trade deal? I don't believe it was a coincidence at all, and I suspect that the perpetrators did it precisely to prevent the trade deal from going through, because such a deal would be a serious setback for the military-industrial complex, which wants a conflict with China. That automatically makes the neocons who infiltrated the Trump administration, led by Pompeo, the prime suspects in my book.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:16, December 22, 2022 (EST)

:::::The DARPA documents obtained by Project Veritas confirm that Dr. Fauci was the man in charge of the project that developed the virus, and that the version of the virus which caused the pandemic came from the Wuhan lab. However, there is scant evidence as to who was responsible for the virus leaving the lab. And based on the circumstances, my first suspect is the Trump administration neocons (led by Pompeo) for the reasons listed above. My guess as to how it happened is that they arranged for a CIA agent to infiltrate the lab and steal a sample of the virus before releasing it into the open air. Given that the project was a joint Chinese-American venture, such an infiltration wouldn't have been too difficult to pull off. Meanwhile, they allowed some information but not too much information to come out in order to set up both Fauci and the CCP as scapegoats for the actual lab leak, as opposed to merely being the benefactors of the project which created the virus.

::::::Hmm, sounds interesting. So if I understand correctly, Fauci and Daszak led the shady testing in Wuhan, and the CIA, knowing this, despicably unleashed the virus into the world which leads to the scapegoating of a) China, who they want to promote an outright war against, and b) Fauci and Daszak, who they know will be targeted for ultimate blame (instead of the CIA) by right-wingers.

== Simple formatting idea for MPL ==

Perhaps the "Merry Christmas!!!" should be in a fancier font, like Brush Script MT, be in a slightly larger font size, and also be in a nice bright green color. If you replace the existing text with <code><nowiki><div style="color:#339966; font-family:Brush Script MT; font-size:300%">Merry [[Christmas|<span style="color:#339966">Christmas</span>]]!!!</div></nowiki></code>, this is what it looks like:
<div style="color:#339966; font-family:Brush Script MT; font-size:300%">Merry [[Christmas|<span style="color:#339966">Christmas</span>]]!!!</div>

This way, the wikilink in "Christmas" is still kept, though the color is consistent. What do you think? Also, noticing your [[Special:Diff/1916089|edit here]], and correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like you're trying to make the color consistent. If it helps, in order to change the color of wikilinks, this format is needed: <code><nowiki>[[Page title|<span style="color:(color)">Preferred text</span>]]</nowiki></code>

It's my observation that both directly, and through the moral lessons He ensures among his prophets, God's infinite wisdom means an outstanding sense of humor at times.

== Suggestion for CBP ==

In practically every translation, the Greek term "''hoi Ioudaios''" is blanketly translated as "the Jews" even though it could also technically mean "the Judeans," which ''should'' be the translation in most contexts of its usage. While a few verses like {{bibleref|John|4|22}} (wow, what a coincidence, today's 4/22) seemingly refer to Jews as a whole, the large majority, particularly in the [[Gospel of John]], address a dispute between Jesus and the Judean hierarchy, not against "the Jews" as a whole. Hopefully you can concur that this should be accounted for in the CBP? It would certainly constitute a major step for the CBP to provide a proper clarification in a crucial aspect where (possibly) every other translation fails to fulfill. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Matthew 26:52)</sup>]]''''' Sunday, 22:10, April 22, 2023 (EDT)

== A re-examination of the longer Mark ending ==

Initially, I believed, just as you assert in the [[Mark ending]] article, that verses 16:9–20 lack authenticity due to absence from the supposedly mostly reliable manuscripts, codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. However, [https://www.1611kingjamesbible.com/codex_vaticanus.html/ it's actually those two codices which are terribly unreliable!] They are deceptively tampered versions of what substantiates the [[Textus Receptus]], which is vastly corroborated, as the implied narratives of [[Codex Vaticanus]] and/or [[Codex Sinaiticus]] are the result of [[Origen]]'s heretical viewpoints. In Vaticanus, the section for what should be Mark 16:9–20 is simply missing from most of the column—to paraphrase the writings of John W. Burgon, what clearly happened was that the scribe who complied with the order to "remove" that section intentionally left a massive blank section to indicate as clearly as possible that it was the removal of legitimate material as opposed to the contemporary narrative that the most "reliable" manuscripts simply didn't include Mark 16:9–20.

Codex Vaticanus also flagrantly lacks the Pastoral Epistles and the Book of Revelation, and misses a large chunk of Hebrews. It seems that the Vatican, displeased with the historicist eschatology of the Reformation implicating ''it'' as the first beast of Revelation, is more than happy to discredit the final book of the Bible in some way. Also, the early promoters of codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, Brooke Westcott and F. J. A. Hort, were apparently occultists attempting to dilute the Bible and dumb-down subsequent generations compared to their contemporaries who understand the King James Bible diligently. Unsurprisingly, the modern translations which rely on Vaticanus and Sinaiticus (as opposed to Textus Receptus), the same ones which place Mark 16:9–20 in brackets with the "earliest and/or most reliable manuscripts don't contain this section" notice, horrendously remove the evidence of Jesus's divinity in their "translation" of hundreds of verses. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Matthew 26:52)</sup>]]''''' Sunday, 00:46, May 14, 2023 (EDT)

: Your posting is fascinating but addresses merely 1 of a half-dozen compelling reasons why verses 9-16 are a forgery.  Other reasons include:
*not Mark's style or word-choice
*content is traceable to the later-written other Gospels
*doctrinally flawed
*added because the ending in verse 8 is a "because" conjunction, but it's the conjunction that shouldn't be there
*many early Christian commentators make mention of Mark but did not see that ending

RobS recently said the following to [User:NishantXavier: "the more you expose yourself to be being accused of being a Nazi and holding Nazi views".[https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:NishantXavier&diff=1959713&oldid=1959712] 

Andy this is a complete farce and ridiculous. [[Godwin's law]] strikes again. And unfortunately, RobS lacks sufficient self-awareness to realize how much he is embarrassing himself. 

Throughout my life, I have come across many people from India. They are unfailingly polite. RobS, could learn a few things from User:NishantXavier when it comes to politeness. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:06, July 2, 2023 (EDT)

::Andy is not a big believer of hyper-[[multiculturism]] who thinks it is wrong to offer valid critiques concerning other countries. So you are barking up the wrong tree. 

::And it is liberals who constantly falsely accuse others of phobias due to their tendency of being fond of psychobabble (For example, calling people "homophobes").

RobS, your all or nothing thinking is irrational. I am for the USA cutting military aid to the Ukrainians.

::"Professor Terence Stephenson in Measuring Up, a report on the nation's obesity crisis by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC), called Britain "the fat man of Europe".[1]

::Professor David Coleman, Emeritus Professor of Demography at Oxford University stated in 2023: "The population is getting older, and also the population in Britain is the fattest in Europe and rather vulnerable to diseases notably heart disease and diabetes; some people have been forecasting separately from Covid that death rates would continue to get worse because the country is so unhealthy." (Bolding added for emphasis)".

:Andy, it is not my fault that many British people have become portly and that thousands of British pubs have faced hardships. 

:And the sad truth is that RobS lacks a sense of humor. My [[Essay: Godless Britain is the fat man of Europe|Godless Britain is the fat man of Europe]] has received over 6,700 page views which is more page views than RobS has received from any of the essays that he may have written. 

:In the past, although I have had a cordial relationship with some British atheists/agnostics, I did have a rather pesky, British agnostic who was engaging in anklebiting.

RobS, you wrote that I have 6,700 enemies. Did you count them? You need to stop your obsession with me. And you need to stop making claims about me that you obviously can't support. Show me that data that I have 6,700 enemies RobS. I have had some of the biggest atheist YouTube channels promote some of my humorous content about atheism/atheists.

::RobS, one of YouTube's biggest atheist channels liked my humorous essay [[Essay: 10 telltale signs you are an atheist nerd|10 telltale signs you are an atheist nerd]] which has over 79,000 page views. Your humorless attitude is not only tiring, but it goes against what people often like about the internet (It has humorous content). 

::RobS, a while ago you started putting templates over my content and reverting my content. And the icing on the cake was you began calling me a Nazi and Nazi sympathizer. And sadly, you have called another good faith editor a promoter of Nazism. 

::Stop this tiresome and rude behavior. Then you can follow this war more closely. A war that Professor [[John Joseph Mearsheimer]] says will probably drag on for a long time (He predicted war long before it occurred). And if this war drags on a long time, this will make Russia's already bad situation concerning its population loss problem even worse.

:::And if you wish to challenge me on this, there is no way out for you - cause you know I am not a "lame debater", and I will show Andy chapter and verse where, as I showed you, where your posted views in Conservapedia align with Nazism.

[[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a chance'']]</sup> 12:24, July 2, 2023 (EDT)

:::A person does not need to be an avowed nazi to express Nazi views. It can be done unwittingly. Most normal people will reverse themselves when it's pointed out. And as i told you before, i've had family members who thought Hitler was great in 1930s, so I've dealt with close up. What I know about Nazism I didn't learn from leftists. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a chance'']]</sup> 12:31, July 2, 2023 (EDT)

RobS, I will offer a few of your quotes to demonstate that you have falsely called me a Nazi/neo-Nazi:

"We're done talking. I'm sick of your neo-nazi views." - RobS 14:04, June 23, 2023 (EDT)"

"If you call Putin a communist, don't be surprised if you get called a Nazi. That is what you don't understand about European politics." -  RobS 19:05, June 23, 2023 (EDT)"

And you continually fail to show that I hold neo-nazi views. The thought that a patriotic, conservative, Christian American that is pro-Israel and is a creationist would love anti-Semitic, German socialist nationalism which loved evolutionary racism is a very foolish claim. A very foolish claim that you have failed to support. 

By the way, I never accused Putin of being a communist. I merely have said that he is a corrupt and authoritarian kleptocrat (See: [[Essay: Vladimir Putin is a corrupt kleptocrat and an authoritarian]]). [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]])

'''Quick note to RobS:''' If you want me to stop critiquing your most cherished false views and showing them to be hopelessly false, then stop putting templates over my texts and stop reverting me. And stop falsely calling me a Nazi. I am less interested in politics and all I ask is that you stop putting templates over my content and stop reverting me when I am engaging in civil discussion. Until this stops, my valid critiques of Russia, Putin and China will continue. 

I have wanted a cease fire for days, but you keep engaging in this bullying behavior. RobS, I can be very persistent. I suggest you stop your bullying behavior because it will never work on me. I am never intimidated by bullying behavior. And I am very capable of assertively confronting it and mocking it.

:Let's move on to another subject; you keep talking about the growth of European Populism. Sooner or later the populist, socialists, anti-globalists, and genuine antifascists of Europe will unite to drive the Macrons, Scholzs, Sunaks, Meronis, Zelesnkys, and every other totalitarian fascist neo-nazi and nazisyymp from power - just as in WWII.

::Populism has its problems. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it is true. Just because I see right-wing populism growing, doesn't mean I necessarily agree with all its supporters. For example, [[Steve Turley]] (who I am a fan of) is a right-wing populist, is a bit too Russia in terms of Russia cheerleading (But to be fair, because he is Greek Orthodox Christian, he sees the war in Ukraine to be a tragedy within Orthodox Christianity as the Russians and Ukrainians are both within the Eastern Orthodox religion).  I try to see Russia's strengths and weaknesses. Sadly, for Russia, its current weaknesses are bigger than its strengths and I see it fading in relevance as time goes on due its continual loss of population. And Turley could talk more about the huge national debt of the USA. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 13:02, July 2, 2023 (EDT)

RobS, again, I am for the USA cutting military funding for the war in Ukraine. 

And if you want me to stop pointing out the various weaknesses of Russia, China, and Putin with less intensity, then simply stop using your censoring templates and stop reverting my civil discussions.
