If they "didn't violate the rules of service" why delete them? On the other hand it is a private club so they can accept or deny any group they please. This deletion, due largely to complaints from people who find atheism offensive, marks the second time MySpace has cancelled the group since November 2007.Religious tolerance, freedom of belief, it all boils down to the hypocrisies of those who claim freedom for themselves, but not for others. A clear modern real-time example of why religion and state should always remain separate. Our founding fathers recognized the hypocrisy of religion even back then. First they came for the Athiests... Hanging out at CM, it almost feels as if only atheists browse the web, so in that context, I believe, MySpace is a fool to make such a stupid decision, but then again, look at who owns it. Good. It's about time someone stand up for God. If it were the Atheists having a Christian community deleted, no one would think a thing about it.. Good. It's about time someone stand up for God. If it were the Atheists having a Christian community deleted, no one would think a thing about it..Another perfectly good real-time example. With a church on darn near every corner..."It's about time someone stand up for God?" Amazing! But let someone stand up for reason, and they feel threatened. Absolutely amazing! Should read: MySpace, no intelligent life found the Atheist and Agnostic Group on myspace.com was restored. He's a direct link to the restored site: http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.groupProfile&groupID=100002606&Mytoken=99D57618-4A8C-4338-88E8C4508F592C2477897502 this is what the Friendly Atheist weblog is reporting: It took 3 weeks or so, but eventually the group was restored. Tom Anderson himself (pre news corp) posted to the group saying “myspace doesn’t censor” and “if any thing happens to the group in the future, just send him an email”
KailaAnn82 - I mentioned this story to my mother who goes to church every Sunday and calls herself a christian. She didn't see this action as 'standing up for God', but bullying instead. This is from the Bible - Luke Chapter 6: 6:27 "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 6:28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 6:29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don't withhold your coat also. Thanks for the update Alancou. I'm happy that the group has been "restored". Censorship is not a good thing, IMO.  |
