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.

    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
