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.

    If you can prove a miracle, does it also become science?

    I don't wan't the mark of a true religion people needing to die for it, seems terribly arbitrary and pointless to me. At what point do you make the argument that there a Flying Spaghetti Monster true believers are willing to choose martyrdom, but haven't been given their chance.

    You clearly don't know the first thing about the Satanic church, they are 100% about the embetterment of mankind. Look up anything they have published instead of looking at their name and filing in the things you think it represents.

    If now a god comes from above and is visible to all mankind and does godlike things, have you proven anything at all? you must be outside the universe to prove something miraculous as having some supernatural meaning.

      Please post a youtube video of God doing exactly that. I'll sign up to your newsletter the second you have peer reviewed replicatable proof of your God.
