Conservapedia Conserva-spotlight: They're at it again

Most people have probably heard about the school shooting in Cleveland today. What you didn't know is that there's an easy solution to this problem. From Conservapedia's main page:

"ANOTHER HARVEST OF SHAME FOR FAILING TO TEACH BIBLE-BASED MORALITY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS: THE CARNAGE CONTINUES!"

Let's take a look back at the effect of bible-based morality on violence throughout history:

First, and perhaps most obviously, we have the Crusades. Or, to be more accurate, there were nine to thirteen Crusades (depending on who you ask) over about two centuries. The most notable shame harvest during this period was the Children's Crusade, where lots of children were sent to fight the Muslims. The influence of bible-based morality was obviously crucial in preventing deaths among our young people.

The Spanish Inquisition was another example of bible-based morality making life better for everyone. Basically, Christians executed and otherwise persecuted non-Christians. Love thy neighbor, so to speak. Or, if you can't love them, at least harvest their shame.

Finally, even though George W. Bush thinks he prays to the same God as the Muslims, he insists on killing lots of them.

Why Conservapedia thinks bible-based morality would end killing is beyond me. If they could find one war in the history of this world that wasn't influenced by some sort of religious disagreement, I'd be more impressed. It would be amazing if they'd stop championing murder because they feel like they can twist it to support their political agenda.
