Man Requests Satanic Prayer Before Town Council Meeting

RE: Man Requests Satanic Prayer Before Town Council Meeting
As long as there are believers in a religion at the meetings let them lead out in prayer to their god/s. They will have to have a deity to pray to as a requirement though.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

As long as there are believers in a religion at the meetings let them pray at home, or quietly to themselves before the meeting so they don't inflict it on those who aren't interested.

Those that are not interested can just sit there and observe the rights of others in action.

Those who are not interested should not have to have the prayers of others inflicted on them.

Now, I know what you will say, but I generally call nonsense on the answer I'm expecting. Would you be okay with it, and sit through it quietly, if this was a Satanic prayer or a Muslim prayer? Or would you react, as we've seen so many Christian do, by shouting and disrupting the prayers of others?

So you do not agree with Matthew 6:5?
NOT logic:
1. Claim to have logic
2. Throw a tantrum when asked to present it
3. Claim you've already presented it
4. Repeat step 1

I would sit quietly through their prayer, why should I disrupt it, because I do not believe in it, I do not believe in many things yet I do not go around disrupting what others do.
No one would be inflicting their prayer on others, that would be considered torture, I hardly would consider sitting through prayer torture. Though I'm sure you or someone else will say it is, no surprises here.
I like how you set up my answer to be rejected as nonsense before I gave it, dishonest a best, small at the very least. Believe what you wish, it want change the facts.

Hey, you do know there are religions without deities. Of coarse not or you would have had a decent answer.

No, because I've had many theists say they would act a certain way in one post and then several posts later state the exact opposite. Evidence leads me to expect certain behaviours.

No dishonesty involved, just experience.

The point still stands. Why, when you can pray in your home, in your church, or quietly before the meeting, do you also feel you have the right to pray and, I will say it again, inflict it on others.

You MIGHT be one of those few theists who would sit by and quietly tolerate a prayer from a different religion, but there are many who aren't. But those would be the first to scream "persecution" if someone disrupted their prayer.

Right back at you GC, right back at you. Except I would've spelled "won't" right.
