[edit] Merge
This should probably be merged with Teach the Controversy, but I'm too lazy to do it and we don't have a Template:Merge. Dreaded Walrus t c 00:00, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] From duplicate article's takling page
I know we have an article on "psuedo science" but for the life of me I can't find what we called it. Sorry to leave that red link. I'll work on "grass roots" later, cause i think that's another useful link.--

[edit] Religionist
A "religionist" is a religious fanatic, or someone who promotes an expanded role for religion in society. I put the word in to replace "Christian" because there are also creationists of other religions (e.g., Islam).

[edit] other controversies
I don't know how to work this in , or if it even belongs, but there are other classes which, if the "controversies" were taught, would make the whole of education look ridiculous:
Ancient History: Erich von Daniken's ancient astronauts, and Graham Hancock's underwater cities. Marijas Gimbutas. Recent history: JFK conspiracies, David Icke, Chemistry: Alchemy Astronomy: Immanuel Velikovsky - whaddayamean, who? Physics: perpetual motion, free energy, Hutchison effect etc Biology: Rupert Sheldrake's "morphic fields"
...but of course, none of these support Christianity.
There are probably more but this'll do to get my point across. teach the controversies! Totnesmartin 12:15, 5 March 2009 (EST)
- This reminds me of some dialogue in Blackadder II:
- "I was under the impression that it was common maritime practice for a ship to have a crew."
- "Opinion is divided on the subject."
- "Oh?"
- "All the other captains say it is; I say it isn't."

- Know this is an old discussion, but not sure how or if I can work this in. There is a 'controversy' that would piss off fundamentalist Christians that some other religionists promote. It looks like a joke but I know some people use it in a serious manner. Arachne1988 (talk) 09:53, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
