,,.without getting a violation? But religious types can threaten me with burning in hell and all sort of dire happenings if I do not see things their way?
Is it all as one-sided as I think it is? Should we not give them a violation for saying that gods exist?

Your answer: ..but unless you are deliver proof? What exactly does that mean? Should there not be a comma after the word `are`??
What you said does not make sense.

I did not know denying the existence of God is considered a violation, after all it is very clear that there is no God.

People here deny the existence of God(s) ALL THE TIME. It's the way you do it that can get you into trouble from the censors here.
Certainly, personal attacks would be frowned upon. Threats won't help much either. Hateful language is wrong ANY time; not just here.
I doubt you were cited for a violation unless you violated one of the rules. Read the rules. Stay within their guidelines.
By the way, I've seen plenty of personal and hateful attacks here by those who claim to be Christians. It appears that belief in God isn't a guarantee against intolerance.

We can all say what we want, but I have found that it is best not to fan ANY fires. So, instead of going into a church, denying that god(s) exist, just go and have some fun with your friends.
Peoople can act aggressively if their belief systems are threatened.
Imagine you were a straight man, and that the gay population would outnumber the straight people (will happen quite soon i think ;) ). If some gay person would walk up to you and deny that being straight is possible, and force you to have a boyfriend (if you are male) how would you feel?
Just as you don't feel good about those who want to force god on you, they don't feel good about you wanting to force atheism on them ;)
In Love and Light.

I think the major story involves respect.
I's suggest looking at how your're phrasing things & think how you'd feel if you're spirituality was challanged while being spoken to in that tone.
You have the right to believe that there are no gods, BUT that belief becomes abuse if you insult people wiht that claim.
Just a shame the more Fundy element here can't learn that lesson.

You have freedom of speech and mind to say what ever you like.
Some little god squad dude and sent a report abuse to Yahoo. They don't read them all as it's an automated response and they just take the points with no questions asked.
You can do it to anybody that you feel deserves it too.
An eye for an eye as the quote in the bible says

I got a violation for saying 'Thank you'. I will probably get a violation for this too. As the pink brainy thingy said I will slink off to join my LGBT buddies now

You do not have to believe anything, but unless you are to deliver proof, your words are just a useless rant.
It happens on both sides.
Edit: The statement "your words are just a useless rant." is meant to be read as written. Is it really that hard to understand?

That's just not right. I'm a firm believer, but would never give grief to someone just because they weren't. Did you say it with foul language, or call believers stupid, anything like that? I can see where someone would consider that an attack, but I didn't see your post so I can't really say.
What's that old quote? I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it - or something like that.

It will have to depend on your level of content. I have seen posts of denying Gods and it hasn't been deleted. But yeah, anyone can report you. Y!A cannot guarantee 100% free speech.

You got everything wrong. We Christians do not tell you to believe in God because we simply want you to do what we say.
We tell you honestly that this is what we believe in. If I as a Christian believe something that applies to me 100% I also believe it applies to another person.
I want to tell people about Jesus because I want them to go to heaven, I want them to see that there is a God who is watching them.
I do not tell people about Jesus simply to scare them with hell and fire.
