Is Yahoo Answers Anti-Christian?

Question

I see repeated posting from people insulting Christians and their beliefs very often on here and they are allowed to post at will. When non offensive answers are posted to these it seems that the abuse crew find this to be offensive.

A Mormom asked what others opinion was of the LDS church. I stated the in my opinion it was a cult (can provide studies to prove it) and that there was recovery groups for those that had left the LDS. Now it seems after 4 months (was posted in August) Yahoo has deemed that to be in violation of the guidelines.

It is not the points that are the issue. It is the glaring fact the christian bashers can post without any problem and at will but say anything against any other religious group and YA abuse crew will violate you.

P.S. Don't bother to click the link in the violation notice. You can defend yourself but all you get from YA is a cut and paste reply and they never give a real reponse.

Answer 1

Y!A is not Anti-Christian.

I think it's kinda funny that they pulled your comment about the LDS being a cult. Actually, I agree with you. In many of the same ways, though, the Catholic Church is also a cult. We have to be careful who we're calling names.

What's really funny about your question is that all your asking for is permission to return to historical Christian intolerance. You (hillariously) feel like you have not only a right to judge others, but a responsibility! Christian's don't do that- do they?

Well, to be fair, it's true that we your enemies do control Y!A- but we also control the rest of the internet. You should be used to it by now. Afterall, who can deny that the 20th century belonged ENTIRELY to the wicked one? Just kidding.

Answer 2

Is would seem that a lot of the reporting and deleting thing is automatic, that there is no one at Yahoo Answers who actually look at reports to determine if they are legit ot not.

I don't think that Yahoo Answers has a bias in any direction.

I think that what is happening is:
1. People are being people. They are sometimes reporting things because they disagree with the opinions of the poster, rather than because of an actual violation of the community Guidelines...or they are being nit-picky only about those posts that they disagree with.
2. The automated system just deletes reported posts without anyone human being involved.

I know that this seems like it's directed at Christians, to you, but look around and see how common it is that other religious groups ALSO feel that they are being unfairly picked on.

So I really think this is a perception thing, and not real.

Answer 3

I don't think it's yahoo! answers per say but rather the readers/answerers. Most people don't like to hear the truth and you are right, LDS is a cult but people mostly get reported for stating that other religions are a cult. Speak bad about Christianity and a person gets away with it. Say something bad about other religions and you will get a violation mail. I was once given that mail just for stating a fact that listening to E John is not a wise decision.

Don't let them discourage you. You continue answering the questions the best way you know how in hope that you will help someone out in choosing Jesus Christ as the source of life.

Answer 4

Yahoo only responds to abuse reports, made by participants. I have successfully appealed a removal by going to the YA Forum. I got my 10 points back and an apology.

Be certain that you are following the guidelines. Anything that is not a question or answer could get reported, not for its content but for its formatting. Also, chatting (such as prayer requests) are not allowed. This if for information exchange, not socializing.

Answer 5

In any man made system there are flaws. But in spite of the violation inequities Yahoo! Answers remains a very positive experience. If you get reported, just ignore it, and keep posting.

Answer 6

Yeah the people who artwork for yahoo are greater probable atheist because of the fact a lot of circumstances once I submit a stable argument that's deleted additionally in the previous I even see solutions spoke back....yeah

Answer 7

I agree with you but I will give a positive response nevertheless. I endure the persecution, I welcome the bashing, I feel closer to Jesus when they do it, and my faith in God's word grows every time I see the insults God said it would be so, Jesus endured long suffering for me so I can bare a few harsh words in his name.

When I accepted Jesus I accepted his suffering, his pain, and his persecution, I endure it by his strength he who is within me is stronger than any hatred man can give. I will be torn down, and persecuted, but never forsaken! If we were to start to ignore more than we seek points in this forum or still receive the points with a simple God Bless you when we do not agree with what's said, instead of the overwhelming need to be right we would give God the victory and the glory and not our selves.

So let them bash let them hate, I stand on the word of God not Yahoo!! Glory to God!!!

Answer 8

And do you think atheists don't get a similarly rough time? How many actual threats do atheists make-not very many but that is what atheists have to put up with in-their in box from over zealous religionists. I've had to conceal my e-mail to avoid getting vitriol and bile from Christians so my right to free speech has been removed by them.

Answer 9

Oh absolutely. You Christians are the most persecuted people on earth! I can see a Christian genocide just around the corner!

Answer 10

Do you have ANY clue as to how many years christiananity was considered a cult by the Romans. You see your attitude(arrogant and smug and not to mention OBNOXIOUS) is what puts people off about rabid christians such as yourself. I see NO DIFFERENCE between people with a attitude like yours and the Taliban, Hezbollah, and Hamas. How proud you must be.....
