Stalemate. Some Satanists took objection to prayers being said before meetings or some such. Â While that's kind of a dick move, the responses from their opponents are more disturbing.
QUOTE "I am not for the silent prayer," Pastor Darlene Vasquez told council members, according to the Republic, which reported that Vasquez broke down in tears. "I want those who believe in the one true God to pray. It breaks my heart to hear what is going on."
Pastor Vasquez's faith has a monopoly on the truth. Â I guess she only wants people who believe in her god and fuck everyone else's.
QUOTE Greaves - who watched a livestream of the gathering on the other side of the country -said he was shocked by what he saw. He noted that speakers referred to the Satanic Temple as a "cult" and a "hate group" and said council members accused the group of trying only to ban prayer entirely.
"It was kind of horrifying," he told The Post. "I noted that it seemed outright medieval in there and really took on the atmosphere of an old school tent revival. There were people weeping and calling out the name of the one true god. It was really strange, a really strange thing to see."

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. --Matthew 6:5-8

My retort to public prayer has always been, "If god's omnipotent, doesn't he know what you're thinking already? Why do you need to verbalize it? That's only so other people can bask in your humility."
