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.

    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?

    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.....

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

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

    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.

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