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.

    Satan had nothing to do with it. (Mostly because he doesn't exist either).

    Of course Satan, or rather using its original name of Lucifer exists. Lucifer is usually called Venus today, at least here and I've seen it with my own eyes. There's even evidence of hellish properties there, though no evidence of magical properties.

    Lucifer is Hesperus, half the time. Will this religious nonsense continue to dog the Sirius of Astronomy through the Ptolemaic error? It's the same goddamned planet!
