    Well, I think it is quite the opposite. If you don't even believe in God, then how could you mix with facebook? :rolleyes:

      It was a meeting place for about 54,000 people. : “The Atheist Republic private group has been a home to me for two years and now it's gone… Atheist Republic has successfully given voice to men and women from all over the world who risk death to be among like-minded friends. I've witnessed suicides prevented and several meetings that resulted in marriage. This was a group providing a necessary safe harbor for everyone from the LGBT community to atheists living in Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries, where atheism can potentially lead to death sentences. These people were my family and now they're just gone… Please, I want my home back,” said group member Joe Bullington.

        Very interesting. I don't care. Facebook is hardly an indispensable resource. The can move en masse within days to one of the hundreds of other "social networking" solutions, and will obviously be better off for having done so, so they have no right to demand sympathy. I repeat: I don't give a bugger. They can deal with their petty little problems, and I won't bother them with mine.

          I don't. And I don't. ;) However, the two massive outbreaks of disbelief are not related.

                I never got further than the question "is there a me ?"

                  In the Giant Pimple of Weirdness on the Face of the Mutant Hell-Being Spawn of Technology Eating Culture: what would you expect to be going on ? As to the Big Question: I never got past asking "Is there a Me ?" and never getting any answer.

                    That's my guess as to why they killed the group - so as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of those governments. Not being on the site, I can't confirm, but I'd bet that there are many atheist groups accessible from outside those countries.

                        There's an official FSM page. Maybe they haven't worked out that it's a spoof religion?!!!

                          Reading through the previous replies gets me to wondering if this was not a result of a CAIR campaign.
