Insincere platitudes are not an "effort"...

What if it doesn't?

That must be disappointing to you.
Yes and no. My expectations are pretty low, but I feel it's still worth the effort. Wow. I wasn't expecting you to admit that you keep repeating that "Jesus loves you" in hopes of getting and angry reaction. Does the thought of it give you a charge, or you tickle down there? You are one weird dude, Randy Carson.

I'm a Christian myself, although not a Catholic anymore. I'm also a big SF fan. One of my main interests is what will happen with Catholic Church in the future, and I mean like 200 years from now or something like that. Its been around for 2000 years, so we can safely assume, that it'll be around for at least couple hundred more. Will it expand to other planets? Will it change into corporation? Will they use biomechanoids for Popes? Or maybe it will fall? What's your take on this?
And the second question - it feels to me that Satan doesn't really work anymore as a method of fear. The vision of Satan changed couple times during the centuries and I think that Satan needs a new version, quickly, as modern people simply do not believe in a guy with horns. It might be that Vatican's PR division is thinking about his new image the very moment. Let's give them some ideas, will Satan be replaced, and how?
Thank you for all the answers.

Their current plans seems to be to take on a more progressive stance (as progressive as they can be) in an attempt to make up for all the crap they pulled in the past. If they continue to go that route I doubt 'Satan' would even need a replacement. I noticed that the Catholic Church is more progressive than the goddamn GOP these days. That's just sad.

The fact that you've made a sexual connection to intercessory prayer is what's really weird...

Pray for a way to get your head out of your ass, Randy. You dumb deluded fuck.

I would suggest to get laid like normal people, but you guys have rules against that.
So many rules!

How sweet, Randy. I'll kiss Muhammad's ass for you too, and we hope you'll find it in your heart to submit to Allah, your creator.
