The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.

Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.

"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

    Would you mind rewording ? The terrible formulation gets in the way of my impression that you said "a god actually revealed stuff to man (...) Which has factually happened" without quotes or sarcasm.

    I would hate to mistakenly go down the path of a discussion of your assertion of personal beliefs as proven facts.

    It is "I dunno therefore god" which has factually happened, of course.
    I would not call a possibility "factually happened". I would call it a fact.
