Well once again I had a question unfairly deleted that was atheist in nature, the reason given for the deletion was "chating" even there was no chating involved in the question. Too many times have I read where questions were deleted that were clearly atheist in nature. Once a person posted a question along the lines of "Why are christians bigots" that was deleted however when he posted a new question "Why are atheist bigots" it was allowed to stay. As a matter of fact if you run a search on that question you should find it. So please tell me if you think the Yahoo staff has a prejudice againdst atheist.

Usually a question does not get deleted unless someone reports it. Apparently the Christians are taking offense at the questions and reporting them. The atheist are not. If religion is an important part of your life, you are probably going to take offense if a question appears to bashing that belief. Make a comment about "women" and they may let it slide. Make a comment about someone's mother, and they take it personally. Make a comment that insults someone's deepest beliefs, and it will probably get reported - and probably deleted.
Plus, while you may have stated the questions "Why are XXXXX bigots" the same, I would bet that the additional comments that followed were not the same. And it was the attitude and implications of the comments that caused the trouble.

YES !!! I see any question against christians deleted and asker suspended.
All hateful questions against, islam,hindus and others remain there even if reported !
One of my Question"If I dont believe in Jesus" was deleted as "Chatting" after I had selected the best answer
Is there a way out ?

the yahoo staff are human, they make mistakes too.
just as they have deleted some comments against christians, so have they deleted some comments against muslims.
for example, u could try quoting the islam on their own quran on their cruel practices, and the ignorant muslims will report it to yahoo who dont know any quran stuff, and they'll think it true, thus removing the answers.
they're just human, they make mistakes too. what else can u do but to whine about it here :(

I think that a lot of Christians (NOT ALL) take offense to questions posted by Atheists, and therefore report them for things that don't exist. I had a perfectly good question on here yesterday that got removed due to chatting, and it was actually a good one between ALL religions with POSITIVE results (over 45 answers). But because one person hated my question, it got removed.
I think it's funny how that David guy's questions haven't been removed yet, even though he's been reported TONS of times for harassment, chatting, insulting, etc. He's not even asking questions! He's just ranting on for days and days about the same crap over and over again. Yet, his question remains while ours isn't.
Hmmm...makes you think, huh?

I just got a violation about evangelism, and I'm Christian! They probably violate anyone whoget a report on their question; I wrote a letter asking for reconsideration, I wonder if I real person will answer.

Atheists are the most hated minority in the US. It doesn't surprise me that they're being discriminated against, but it is definately wrong. It's time someone complained to Yahoo. Perhaps they ought to be more thorough in how they screen what they delete.

Someone may have felt offended or got nervous on some of the questions.

If they get enough complaints, questions are deleted. Xians don't have a thick enough skin to not report anything that goes against Christianity.

I think they obvious answer is they are American Christians and they take personal offense. So yes, they are biased.

Why are you suprised that Christians are less open minded than atheists?
