Dumbest reasons you were banned from a theistic website/chatroom?
Offline I was inspired to make this thread based on this quote by Brian37
Let me add. I have been kicked out of Christian chat rooms merely based on the nick I was using.
So, what are the dumbest reasons you've been kicked from a chatroom?
I once went to a chatroom called "jesuscafe" (don't know if it still exists) when I was christian. I actually met my ex-fiance there. I used an avatar of Kurt Cobain, and the password was "Cobain" initially. I was banned for the avatar, because apparently I was supporting suicide, even though the avatar clearly was mourning his death. I protested, and they reinstated my account, only to ban it the next day. Why? THE PASSWORD. The fucking password was Cobain. Thus, I was banned again. My ex (who wasn't an ex at that point), and a moderator, protested on my behalf. I was allowed to chat again, if I agreed t have a more suitable password (why, I don't know) and I played nice for a while. So, then I changed my avatar to a picture of George W. Bush overlooking a graveyard. The caption was "If I killed this many people, I'd be a WORLD LEADER". It was specifically an attack on the Afghan war. The mod told me I'd get banned for not being patriotic. I pointed out that my screen name was BenfromCanada, so I wasn't being "un-patriotic" by criticizing George W. Bush. I was then permabanned. The reason: "For being un-American".
So, tell me your stories!

During my time as a Christian I regularly chatted on a private server on IRC. I was there so much they even made me an IRCop at one point. After my deconversion I have gone back into the chat several times as I still have old friends that go there. Now it's no secret that I like to stir up a little trouble every now and then so I'd occasionally find a newer user and mention my atheism. This always got a pretty good reaction as most of the little sheltered sheeple had never been exposed to an atheist before. Out of respect for the rules of the room I always took the conversation to private chat, however word always got back to the mods that I was "attempting to tear down their faith". I've been banned from the server more times than I can count but within a week the ban is usually lifted. It had been about a year and a half since the last time I entered the chat, however on my last visit I was immediately banned from an IRCop and former friend on the server. I asked for a reason since I had done nothing wrong to which he replied, "We have no place here for godless scum such as yourself."
I got banned from Matt Slick's site many years ago for posting this pic, without the wording.
Other websites have banned me even before I posted anything just out of fear.
I was once banned from a Catholic IRC channel for using the word "pissed."
Well, I guess you're stuck with us, then.
