Man this site is a hoot

http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page

Heres an example of the slant

Conservapedia on Homosexuality

http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexual

Wiki on Homosexuality

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality

Intresting enough I looked up Islam and found no slant.

Well at least the conservapedia doesn't claim to be unbiased.

I gotta wonder though, why not just edit wikipedia for yourself?

Because the moderators at wiki remove bullshit and irrelevent nonsense.

Such as, say, bible verses in the main description of homosexuality.

Surely bible verses are used often enough in the debate against homosexuality that you could include it in the main page if you left it in unbiased terms.

No, i mean in the very begining of the article, i jumps right into bible stuff.

An appropriate opening for an encyclopedia article would go something like: "Homosexuals are individuals who are sexually attracted to the same sex. Homosexuality manifests itself in nature and in human culture in a number of different ways..."

Followed by the appropriate sections.

You do *not* start an article saying "Homosexuality is when men like men. The bible says you go to hell for that, so there."

Because reality has a liberal bias. So, there's no need.

"Fox News has dominated the ratings of other cable news shows. Many Fox News hosts, while they are very modest, believe this is because they show both sides of the issues and refuse to viciously attack George W. Bush or the Iraq War, despite such attacks being popular among liberal agents in the media."

I tried edited the Conservapedia definition for Homosexual...

It was quoting the bible as to reasons why homosexuality was evil/wrong.

I was going to edit the article to say something about the bible not being a valid source, but I had to register and got too lazy.
