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.

So might makes right? Thanks for admitting it. When and if someone kills you just for the sheer hell of it, I'm gonna just laugh; you will have gotten what you deserve under your own belief system because, hey, you weren't strong enough to prevent someone from offing you.
Here's something to run through your ALUs for a bit, Mr. Bot: How do you know that this God of yours isn't itself a simulation being run by Super-God?

How the hell is that dogfooding? Talk about non-sequitur. Explain yourself, please.

NOBODY, of course.

...you, um, don't actually know what the Satanic Temple is, do you? Actual believing theistic Satanists are very, very rare; these guys are trolls with a purpose, like the Discordians but way more pissed off. Why don't you shut up and stop embarrassing yourself, huh? You're making me cringe with sympathy you don't deserve.

I, um, read the first comment after the story.
You fail to decouple the intention from the consequences. But then, when a guy says MAGA, he's a true patriot, and all that happens contrary to his stated goal is mere bad luck eh?
Satanic temple complaining about (one of their own likely) menacing them (so they get headlines), is like neonazis or antifas reclaiming rights they would deny others. So, while I don't argue that it's lawful for them to be back on twitter, I say it would be fair to treat them according to the ideals they indirectly push nonetheless.

About the super god, BTW, please define creation without using spacetime, because you can't prove there is one in the domain of the hypotetically meta-created creator. After that please prove believers are not believing in the super god, by definition, if there were one.

It's super-meta-hyper-ultra-kawaii-spacetime with extra dimensions and a cherry on top.

Good for you, theologian. I am content being logical, checking that my assertions contain terms meaningful in their context.

You're running into the incompleteness theorem again... :)
In any case, you're not very good at being logical either, as you seem to use the tools of logic merely as weapons to further the cause of your beliefs. You don't fool me, you know.

The incompleteness theorem states merely that meta (values of truth) is meta. No problems with that.

Oh but there is, dear Bot, and this is where you start showing how little you know of epistemology. How do you know...anything? At all?

What is the only thing you know that you know? You know 'I am', by definition. No matter its meaning. (solipsism implies there is no you, but has to acknowledge the I am)
It's from the I am that you build all the rest.
I experience is when I am opens up to some input.
Real is what can be directly or indirectly experienced, and what can directly or indirectly interfere with you.
And so on. Whether it fits with some philosopher or not, not my concern really. What is reality, makes no sense. Reality is, by def.
What did Jesus reply when Pontius Pilate formulated the incompleteness theorem his own way? QUID est veritas?
And finally, what does all of this have to do with working with uninitialized variables like atheists keep doing?

I'm not aware that they work with uninitialized variables, and frankly most of this post is utter self-serving Gish-galloping horseshit.
You wanna talk uninitialized variables? Define your God. What does it mean to BE God? How do you know? How would you know it if you saw it?

My god is the guy who reportedly said "I am the one who I am". Religion puts all onus on belief. It's smarter than fake atheism. Not that this proves anything.
I have already replied your other question, see #622742
BTW I am still waiting for you to fix your questions so that they do not need a meta religion to be formulated, see #622806
