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.

    Lots of religions can prove that their god exists. The natives around here worship the Western Red Cedar, of which there are numerous examples outside my house. Being a god, it gives wood, bark, greenery and such and will smite and kill you if you attempt to cut it down in the wrong manner, particularly important when cutting down a 20 ft in diameter tree with stone and fire.

    immanent gods exist, nobody disputes that. Some are both immanent and transcendent. Like you are both immanent and transcendent in a dream of yours.
