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.

    Having a chip on your shoulder doesn’t make you weak.

    I know the southern types you speak of. Strong enough to vote Roy Moore.

    Azuma really gets under your skin. Easy to do for such a weak woman.

    He thinks if he says it enough it'll become reality :)

    The best part is, he does 3/4 of my work for me. All I have to do is point out where he's full of shit and he'll go into the kind of frothing, rabid spin cycle I've only ever seem from the cartoon Tasmanian Devil before. In the process, he'll make himself look much, much worse than anything I could possibly say or do would. Example here is how he just admitted to not having a filter, which is something I wouldn't be taken seriously for if I had accused him of, but here he is saying it himself. Right from the jackass's mouth, as the case may be.

    Gotta go, popcorn's done :D

    You're reading anger where there isn't any. She's a toy I enjoy playing with, nothing more.

      Keep telling yourself that, Uzzard :D Here in the reality-based community, everyone can see you've got your head so far up your ass you can see your grandpa's last meal all the way down in Hell. I don't even need to do anything; you tear your own flesh and spill your own blood unbidden.
