SU Atheist/Agnostic: HOLY TRINITY - WILL BE DELETED
Rated • 20 reviews • atheist, religion, censorship, christianity, free speech • stumbleupon.com
A little historical context here... Even through epinionatedannie's hate list, the atheists on SU have been all about free speech, no matter how much we disagree with what is said. A number of atheists have been pursued by Christians on SU, often only for the fact that they have reviewed atheist websites on their SU page.
The group was started by AnswerMan partly because there was no place for religion to be discussed by both parties. For some reason, theists don't tend to come to the A/A boards despite numerous open invitations, and we tend to get kicked out of even religious boards that are supposed to be about discussion.
Through all this, we've remained mostly passive.
(I only say mostly because absolutely nothing is absolute...)
But this signals a breaking point, in my mind. I don't know whether others feel the same way, but taking down an entire group for religious differences -- and what's more, destroying the possibility of a place for those differences to be discussed -- is a step over the line. If this goes through, I don't think I'll be coming back to SU.
