'''A Storehouse of Knowledge''' or '''aSK''' is a general encyclopædia with a biblical worldview. It was founded by former (disillusioned<sup>see note</sup>) [[Conservapedia]] [[sysop]] Philip J Rayment. | |||
It began on 22<sup>nd</sup> March 2009. | |||

::Philip J Rayment about Conservapedia: "''However, it is not, and never will be, an encyclopaedia. It gives Christians, creationists, and conservatives a bad name by operating in ways that do not match Christian and conservative values. As long as it is like that (and it shows no signs of improving), I want it to fail.''" [http://web.aanet.com.au/P_Rayment/Conservapedia/Problems.htm] | |||
The wiki is small but growing fast. Although there are a few former as well as current Conservapedians, most of the membership consists of RationalWikians who do not agree with the site's worldview, and this has caused some conflicts. RationalWiki has an article on A Storehouse of Knowledge [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/A_Storehouse_of_Knowledge] and details current events there [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/RationalWiki:What_is_going_on_at_ASK%3F#June_2009]. | |||

"It appears there was quite a bit of money spent to get the wiki well designed and someone thought of a really good name for it. ASK can't compete with the lavish design that the Schlafly family paid for at Conservapedia but its supporters probably think ASK makes up for that by being more reasonable." | "It appears there was quite a bit of money spent to get the wiki well designed and someone thought of a really good name for it.
