Andy Schlafly, son of controversial conservative figure Phyllis Shlafly and founder of Conservapedia, the ideologically oriented alternative to Wikipedia, has found a new bugbear: the theory of relativity. Shlafly insists that Albert Einstein's world-changing idea, elegantly expressed in the equation E=mc2, is part of a pervasive and long-held liberal conspiracy to make people have abortions and stop believing in Jesus. Conservapedia's surprisingly lengthy articles on relativity makes a convoluted and free-wheeling case that it's all a government hoax:
E=mc2 Is a Liberal Conspiracy Against Jesus

Ask him whether nuclear bombs are a hoax.
Re: E=mc2 Is a Liberal Conspiracy Against Jesus
A Baha'i friend sent me this bit of their scripture. Kindly don't make fun of it ... its kinda sweet. And maybe Aero's modeling on EM thrusters will prove it works. This should date from the late 1800's, when the speed of light was known, and appears to suggest that love travels faster, with some magnetic assistance.
“Servant of Glory, be self-sacrificing in the path of God, and wing your flight unto the heavens of the love of the Glorious Beauty, for any movement animated by love moves from the periphery to the center, from space to the Day-Star of the universe. Perhaps you deem this to be difficult, but I tell you that such cannot be the case, for when the motivating and guiding power is the Divine force of magnetism it is possible, by its aid, to traverse time and space easily and swiftly. Glory be upon the people of Baha.”
E=MC^2 is not a hoax. Ask Jimmy Carter. But he will tell you that nukear energy is a work of the Devil, as it involves transmutation of elements. That's what happened to our nuclear waste recycling program ... Carter got the US out of the business.

You know MSimon, the fact you think that is worthy of notice is as much evidence of your own mental hobgoblins as the mentioned concept is of hers.
You and she are both batshit crazy.
