I personally don't do the whole heaven and hell thing... And for some reason my brain won't let me take anyone seriously when they say hail Satan.. no matter how serious they are about their religion.. it just always seems like a dark humor joke to me..not something I'd walk out of a governmental meeting for but.. you'd probably hear me snickering in the back about it.

Anyways... Then you have that last part of the story in there where, this guy is just patronizing the speaker.. which in my opinion is just as ridiculous... it's typically cool to say "praise be to god" or "praise the Lord" or whatever.. no one bats an eye at that... But they will protest over others practicing their rights to religious freedom 🤷‍♀️... If this isn't the time and place for it.. then technically, the Christian prayer being said in those situations is also the wrong place and time.. right? Just all seems a little hypocritical... Allow them all or allow none of them
