it makes perfect sense, people get put in metal hospitals for seeing miracles. If you believe that it is good to mindlessly go along with whatever anyone tells you about the nature of God and religion then isnt that crazy? If you believe in vicarious blood-atonement, i.e., that "the Lord died for your sins" and thus you can commit as many as you wish? jeez blood to water... a talking snake. So i ask this of you whover removed my question, go to the next psyciatrist and tell him that a snake was talking to you... and well see who's question is more legit.

When one person suffers from a delusion, they are called insane. But when many people suffer from the same delusion, it is called religion.

I guess that the good people who monitor these things decided that your question was discriminatory or abusive toward other users...specifically, Christians.
Now, me, I think it's rather insane to believe that the universe just sprang into being all by itself, or that life "evolved" from inanimate material. But, if I were to post a question asking if all atheists ought to be detained in a mental institution, chances are pretty good that I'd be reported, and my question deleted.
Although I may not agree, it would be right for Yahoo to delete such a question, because it's sole intent would be to irritate or otherwise discommode the atheists on this board. I may think, privately, that they are missing a few marbles, but it wouldn't be very polite of me to post my opinion in a public forum...especially when I've been advised that one of the rules is mutual respect.
I have learned to respect the Yamster...and to try to play by the rules.
You might benefit from my advice.
Cya!!

Maybe they felt you were being discriminatory towards Christians. Once you explained yourself, the question made sense. Sometimes it's all in how you word things. I think you should repost it but word it in a different way. I would be interested in reading the responses.

yahoo has report abuse that christians use as a form of censor ship on free speech... I wrote to yahoo complaining we should all write to yahoo.. I think that the asker of the question should be the only one to report abuse that way we know who the censors are and we could boycot them... so come on every one who's been censored... put your voice to work and write yahoo for the changes..

Because people with ideas like yours can and have caused great harm to many people over the years.
Burning at the stake, concentration camps, false child abuse reports, etc.
you are a danger to others

True. They'd put someone is hospital if he swore the Easter Bunny created the world. Believing in god is is no different.

Probably because it violated this one of Yahoo's Community Guidelines:
"Be courteous. Yahoo! Answers is a diverse community of people with diverse opinions. It is up to each of us to be polite and treat each other with respect. "
Nuff said.

Anybody asking a question like this, must be a mental patient!

I didn't see your question but it sounds more like an opinion than a question.

Good because they cancelled my question Why are Atheists Ignorant in their questions.
