Man Requests Satanic Prayer Before Town Council Meeting

[John V]

What's to interpret?

Whether it's an if-then or if-and-only-if statement.

It says don't be a hypocrite, go pray in private. That's what it says. It won't mean something different no matter how hard you try. Words have meaning. Just admit you choose not to do what your god demands of you.

I'm pretty sure my high marks in Catechism for a decade makes me more than knowledgeable about "Scriptures as a whole".

Ah, your high marks in Catechism give you a better understanding than the apostles who were with him for years. Got it!
