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.

    but he didn't mention the other side

    saying everyone is jumping off the bridge or peeing in the pool doesn't mean it explains logically why you and your friends did it as well.

    if you're to convince us your team is better because the other team is stupid, pointing out that they do stupid things *too* or that they did it first... is no winning argument.

    Well - I don't have a team. I'm a registered independent voter, because I despised the two parties pretty much equally when I registered to vote in 1974. Times change, and the parties have changed. Today, I still despise the Republicans just about as much as I did back then. But, I despise the Democrats much more than I did then. It's like the Republicans are the Pied Piper, taking a leisureley stroll to hell, while leading the ignorant children along. The Democrats, on the other hand, insist that we all ride a supercharged, turbocharged, quantum powered train to hell at hypervelocity.

    If I had to choose, I'd rather follow the pied piper. I'm in no hurry to get to hell. But, I refuse to choose, actually. I'm independent.

      Don't worry, you're definitely going to Hell all by your lonesome.
