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.

If I could choose, I'd rather believe the universe is deterministic, free will does not exists, hence I am not responsible for my actions. Very very comfy. Fear of death? LOL, it's a breeze compared to unhealthy life.Unfortunately the nature of the experience of "to be", which I define as axiomatic for lack of anything else even provable, makes me think otherwise, and BTW acting as free will existed in a no free will situation is not wrong, as wrong does not exist.
Have a nice day.

You also can't prove or disprove hard solipsism. What's your point? You basically just admitted this all comes down to the feelz, which is pretty much de rigeur for religious apologetics when you dig deep enough.

Solipsism makes an additional assertion. When I say "I am" is self evident, I am not telling anything on the nature of the experience. Solipsism does, I am not concerned with it being provable or not, "I am" is axiomatic for me.
If you want to call it feelz based, whatever. If you want to classify it together with apologists, whatever. The problems with the approaches to the transcendent with a limited logic system and undefinable concepts are still there.

Again, missing the point: you don't get to throw out all those arguments and then go "well, transcendentals, undefinable concepts, who knows? Therefore I can believe anything I want for the feelz because fuck you you're not better than me lalalalalala OHHHHTAKEMELAWWWWDJAYZUZ!"
Got it? Get off your imaginary high horse and apologize to all the electrons you wasted over the last two weeks trying to pretend you had anything but "muh feelz" in support of your position.

The high horse depends on nobody being able to challenge the obvious, which has been stated multiple times. Reasoning with a logic system and concepts which are not necessarily defined, yields irrelevant results.
You should know, to prove a theorem all implications must be necessary (which means any exception, no matter how far fetched in "a implies b" does not let you say b), while to disprove a theorem one counter example is enough. So you requiring me to have my theorems to the opposite thesis, no matter if I actually showed some, is off topic.
