"Get used to it. All of us atheists on here get questions and answers deleted."
"I got an answer deleted for saying the bible is a lie. I am sure if I said the quran was a lie, it wouldn't have been deleted."

People report not only what is antagonistic or hateful, but that which they merely don't like. Such is the case with whining children.

Due to the fact that these
Christians use the Protestant Old Testament which is lacking 7 entire books 2 (Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus/Sirach, Baruch, I Maccabees, and II Maccabees), 3 chapters of Daniel and 6 chapters of Esther may be one of the reasons they ask catholics so many questions.
For the Sola Scriptura this is too bad .
In the 16th c., Luther removed those books from the canon that lent support to orthodox doctrine, relegating them to an appendix. Removed in this way were books that supported such things as:
prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12; 2 Maccabees 12:39-45),
Purgatory (Wisdom 3:1-7),
intercession of dead saints (2 Maccabees 15:14),
and intercession of angels as intermediaries (Tobit 12:12-15).
The lesson, though, is this: relying on the "Bible alone" is a bad idea; we are not to rely solely on Sacred Scripture to understand Christ's message. While Scripture is "given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16-17), it is not sufficient for reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. It is the Church that is the "pillar and ground of Truth" (1 Timothy 3:15)! Jesus did not come to write a book; He came to redeem us, and He founded a Sacramental Church through His apostles to show us the way. It is to them, to the Church Fathers, to the Sacred Deposit of Faith, to the living Church that is guided by the Holy Spirit, and to Scripture that we must prayerfully look.

I only get violated/deleted when the Christians are offended. I have posted some things that were far more offensive to other religions, and never heard a peep about it.
Y!A is dominated by Christians, there is no doubt.
So much for a level playing field.

I think the Atheist's comment is valid. Questions get deleted all the time here, if someone gets a wild hair up their behind and reports it.

God is deleting you questions so we don't have to read them. Because no one at Y! Answers cares enough to bother with non-believing atheists. Have a nice day.
God Bless

All it takes is a butt load of anonymous fundamentalist christians to flag you. I'm sorry but you will have to get use to it. They are intolerant bastards.

It wasn't me. I don't say the bible is a lie.
It's fiction.
So is the quran.
