“Atheist and Agnostic Group” deleted from MySpace…

For the third time in three years, what may be the largest group of organized atheists in the world is struggling to stay on MySpace, said a Cleveland State University assistant professor who founded the site for nonbelievers.

MySpace deleted the 35,000-member “Atheist and Agnostic Group” on Jan. 1, a little more than a month after hackers broke in and renamed the group’s site “Jesus Is Love,” Bryan Pesta said Wednesday.

   

MySpace has ignored repeated requests to restore the group’s site, including an online petition with more than 500 signatures, said Pesta, who was the group’s moderator.

“These actions send a clear message to the 30 million godless people in America that we are not welcome on MySpace,” Pesta said.

Maybe they could have an all night prayer vigil. Well, maybe not! :)

    If it was a ‘christian’ who hacked and changed the name, that’s just wrong.

    sorry about that

    That is wrong. Both the hack and the loss.

    Did the group get restored back or was it hacked and then the Atheist/Agnostic group just gave up on it?
