Okay, this is *totally* not why you posted that (definitely terrifying) link but I was surfing around, letting my eyebrows rise into my hairline, when I came across this little factoid:
"According to an online Harris poll from 2003 99% of all American Christians believe in God, 96% in the resurrection of Jesus Christ," [from the 'Christianity' article]
Wait, what? Okay, the second one I can believe because there are some who don't believe in a literal resurrection and they might be the 4%. But why are the 1% who don't believe in God calling themselves Christians??? Wow. This wiki is special. Sheesh.
*falls off chair* I honestly don't know how they can write all that with a straight face.
I'm making the mistake of reading the 'liberal' article (which, wow, gets off to a good start, since apparently I can't be liberal and a Christian. Who knew?) and it's so not a surprise that this thing doesn't have open editing. Because then someone could explain that 'Professor' in Britain has a different connotation to 'Professor' in the US (I mean, I'm not a Richard Dawkins fan, but he *was* a Professor). And the Obama article?
Er. Sorry to rant at you it's just... Gah! I'm going to stop here before I have to hit something...

Do they really believe this shit?! Bizarre. As I said to my friend: "Screw the trousers, they should see the size of my strap-on!"
