Just curious as I have no issue with them but wonder why the thread looking for Christian friends was closed by moderators but the threads looking for athiest and non-religious friends are still open.

Did not notice that. Yes why???0

they probably weren't reported.
edited to add.. Having just looked at the guidelines, I'm not sure why the one you mentioned would be removed.
Any thoughts?0 -
Very good question. Let's see what happens.0
-
the moderator posted an explanation when the Christian thread was closed. I understand the explanation and Ok, if that's the view, no problem. But same should go for the other threads.....they probably weren't reported.

I don't see why any one of them should be reported. People have the right to befriend who they please. I'm a Christian and should have that right just like the non religious. Just my thoughts.0

i don't disagree with you on that. I understand the moderator's explanation of the forum rules and I can deal with it but thought it was sort of heavy handed.0 -
Forget the TV... it's entertaining just to refresh the Recent Posts page. :laugh:0

likewise agree with the lady who said we have a right to friend who we please0
-
well, the moderators are going to close them.0

yep. and there's a new "diet soda" thread just waiting for anti aspartamers to fly in......0 -
because christians are persecuted daily0

Neither is allowed. The mods stay pretty busy, so my guess is they haven't gotten around to locking the atheist/satanist threads yet. My hope is that Christians would NOT post in those threads with insulting or ridiculing comments, though. Same thing I'd ask in threads where someone was looking for Christian friends.0

One might be miffed at grouping atheists and satanists together. :P0

Crud... I can't find the cardio entry for laughing at MFP threads... Should I just log it as house cleaning?0 -
I looked at the thread that was closed, and I don't see how it violated guidelines.
If they want people to use the groups, they need to make it easier to find the groups other than the search option, or is it there and I just haven't found it yet?0 -

I'm not persecuted daily. I'm irritated daily but not persecuted.0 -

I was surprised that there was only 1 jerk reply in the Christian one. I didn't see any jerk replies in the non-Christian ones. Well, one sort of jerky reply but not as bad. Surprised me, I thought there'd be more fur flying.0 -

I just double the number of calories I log under "breathing." I figure that I'm breathing 2x as fast when I'm laughing.....0 -

I'm not persecuted daily. I'm irritated daily but not persecuted.

This is a very good point that never occurred to me.
Now since the one was closed of course the other should be too. We all have to play by the same rules.
But I know I had to set the Atheist group to private so I don't think you can even find it in a search. Whenever a thread like the other one is started I have to tell people to message me for an invitation.
Hmmm...0 -
Really? Then they don't get out much!atleast half the christians i come across daily talk about how persecuted they are,its pretty funny

its very easy to find the christian groups go to the group page and type christian you get a few0
-
I've gone back again to the guidelines and still can't work out why any of them would be removed.
it only says this.. No derogatory references to sex, gender, ethnicity, religions, or sexual orientation,
So unless there were derogatory references in the post... were there?
Do you remember what the mod said?

So a new person who posts looking for Christian friends because she didn't know there were groups, could certainly be directed to them without being bashed. That's my point. Just as easliy as I could go into the atheist thread and direct him to the atheist group. I did it respectfully.http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/3804-married-moms-anchored-in-prayer

the athiest groups are private now i think0 -
I know you were replying to someone. But, people can reply like that. In a nice way, directing someone to find the groups. I didn't realize the atheist group was private. I shall direct people to Brett from now on!that was actually in response to someone earlier who seemed confused on how to find the christian groups,i just forgott to quote her lol

I just think their should be a browse feature instead of just a search feature for the groups.0
