“Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil.”

““The devils,” Billiard-Fannon wept, struggling upward. “They’re all about the ship! They want to break in! A cursed vessel, a haunted vessel… we must pray to God! Let us pray!”
“I pray you to shut up,” grunted Capot.”

“When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.”

“The Satanist shuns terms such as "hope" and "prayer" as they are indicative of apprehension. If we hope and pray for something to come about, we will not act in a positive way which will make it happen. The Satanist, realizing that anything he gets is of his own doing, takes command of the situation instead of praying to God for it to happen. Positive thinking and positive action add up to results. […] Just as the Satanist does not pray to God for assistance, he does not pray for forgiveness for his wrong doings. The Satanist knows that praying does no good, confessing to another human being, like himself, accomplishes even less - and is, furthermore, degrading.”

“I don't just pray for God to open doors, I also pray for God to close doors.”

“A man who prays lives out the mystery of existence, and a man who does not pray scarcely exists.”

“Why are my hands this way
That they will not do as i say?
Does no God hear when I pray?”

“Tell us, pray, what devil
This melancholy is, which can transform
Men into monsters.”

“Pray, and let God worry.”

“Praying is talking to God. Meditating is listening.”
