Woeful inadequacy and outright distortions
Here is the entry on the Holocaust:
conservapedia writes:
Holocaust
The Holocaust was the massacring of the Jewish race during World War II by the Nazi government in Germany, which played on anti-semitic sentiment popular before World War II. In addition to the genocide of six million Jews, many millions of Christians were also exterminated.
That's it.
And the Inquisition:
Inquisition
A investigation by the Church. It used horrible, sometimes life-threatening torture to make people confess their sins.
I know this site is far from complete, but you'd think someone would have something more to say on these subjects than a few short sentences.
And from the entry on Hernando Cortez:
Cortes, although often accused of being a blood-thirsty murderer and a thief seeking only Aztec gold, his motivation was just the opposite. His mission was to bring Christ to the Americas. Also he is said to have slaughtered many innocent Indians. Obviously, many were killed during the war, but they were certainly not innocent. Overall, Cortes was a brilliant genral, a wonderful leader, and he was inspired to bring Christ to the Indians.
Yes, all those Aztecs who were defending their cities from invasion were "not innocent" and deserved what they got and Cortez was only murdering the Indians out of love.
Please.
