Re: Christian Cult of Ignorance
Here Christian morality (if not extreme fundamentalism) is equally entwined with conservative politics.
I strongly disagree. In my experience the majority of church-going Chrisitans in the UK are left wing, while Tony Blair is probably the most vocally Christian Prime Minister we've had.

Re: English-ites UNITE!
WOW! Not only is the site openly biased, prejudice, and ethnocentric against non-American English, but it also claims that tides cause moon "buldges"... and that tidal forces on Earth could actually have broken the moon into pieces if it ever got too close!
Er, that's actually correct. The Moon will tear apart when it gets too close to the earth. Eventually it will do so and we'll end up with a ring.

World History Lecture One
I've just been reading Lecture One of their World History series and I'm rendered speechless by it. Someone actually wrote this, with it's authoritative tone and dates. And, yet, they didn't even spot such obvious flaws as dating the flood to "around 3000 BC" and then describing a continuous history of Egypt beginning in 3100 BC with the unification of the upper and lower kingdoms.

At the moment, yes, it's moving further from the earth. That will not last forever.

Re: Christian Cult of Ignorance
In terms of imposing Christain morality and advocating Christian based victorian style values the conservatives win hands down.
Yes, that's true.
