I got a thread deleted this am

One that I started.
And I mean I honestly didn't think it was even that controversial.
I can only say it was regarding religion and hope.

Are there some avenues of thought that are just taboo besides sex of course?
Have you ever been deleted by the mod?

It was scratched real quickly and I got no warning message...wierd.

1. No, I've never had one deleted

but many of my threads have fallen off the front page so fast that I thought they'd been deleted!

2. Hahaha...

I know what you mean.
Sometimes you want that.
If I want them to last, I get very category specific.

4. Religion HAS been causing tons of nasty squabbles around here lately.

We probably do need a chill out time to regroup as a whole and find something in common again. So for now, the moderators will probably see just about any religion thread as a definite

right now...

9. Why do we need to "chill out"?. We're being suffocate by

religion. Day and night. The cable news is like a revival.

We don't need to chill out. If Du is going to delete posts that don't favor religion then it has become just another piece of the whore media.

6. I've had my threads locked before...

7. War was a brewing lately

The admins headed it off. But some threads had to pay the ultimate price. Let the tensions ebb a bit and we can get back to such topics.

8. Yes. I had several deleted last week. I referred to the

alleged resurrection of Jesus as a hoax. That did it. I was very
disappointed to learn the the DU was censoring religious views. Others had the same experience. If the fundies are taking over DU, it's all over for this board.
