Group prayer on Skype on behalf of our Christian members
May 20, 2018 at 6:10 am
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.

Prayer won't do shit. Start a gofundme page for deprogramming.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Who would be paid to do the deprogramming? Us? I like this idea. Unless we're the ones funding it.

It will be pricey. We'll probably need professional kidnappers and a secure facility. Maybe the Scientologists can lend a hand and some funds.

Can we bring some LaVeyan Satanist's into this?
What would deprogramming entail? Would you play the audiobook version of "The God Delusion" over and over? Or maybe "The Scathing Atheist?" That would just make them become obstinate.
But really, I don't care to be an Atheist missionary. Unless someone really wants to talk about that stuff and is ready to hear me out. I was never a pushy Christian either.
Religion can be very harmful, but there are worse things to be.

Well I was planning on love bombing the Christians with Satanic prayer, chanting and being around them all the time being as friendly and civil to them as possible so they grow so used to us that they can't be away from us.

As someone who engaged in satanic rituals as an atheist child for the pure fun of it, to make myself giggle, I would very much highly approve of actually doing this and I wish it were not just a joke. I'd actually do it. Let's actually do it. Let's actually organize it. If Satan exists He is less evil than God, that's for sure. Let's do this Pascal's Wager thing, it will be hilarious. We can laugh our bollocks and titties right off together. Maybe if we can convince our Christian 'friends' to sin hard enough then Satan will let them have fun in hell... but if they fail to be true sinners he'll send them to heaven to be tortured by a psychopathic genocidal maniac they call God (that never intervenes to prevent things such as child rape and animal torture "because reasons").
I know which deity I'd trust if I had to pick one. Hail Satan!
By the way: Here's one of my favorite songs ever by my favorite band ever:
Praise Satan! Hail Satan! They, Orbital, have an upcoming album due to be released on September 14th, called Monsters Exist.
