I'm wondering if people would be interested in a group Skype chat where we pray to Satan, the God of critical thinking?
Being atheists most of us know that prayer doesn't do anything. But this is not for our sake, but to let our Christian brethren know that we are thinking about them, and care about their intellectual development. Satan, being a Christian deity, would therefore be the ideal choice to pray to.
Of course most atheists are agnostic atheists so it would be like a form of Pascal's wager. If Satan really does exist then it might have some effect. But if he doesn't then no harm done.
