Coincidence?

While looking for a particular quote about liars, since my blogging was going to be about  liars, cheaters, and scammers; I came across a quote of another kind and all thoughts of liars, cheaters, and scammers disappeared.

But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?
Mark Twain 


Mark Twain, was obviously a very brilliant man, and possibly very compassionate? I am going to have to do some reading on him in my spare time.


Seeing this quote, reading it once got me thinking do those who pray ever pray for Satan or really any sinner who commits murder, rape, anything we as a society find to be an abomination? I highly doubt it, those people, I would say deserve your prayers much more than anyone else, so why not pray for their souls?


I, personally am an Atheist and have been for more than half my life and I can honestly say until I saw that quote I've always thought people who do abominable things deserve what they get and how they get it. I think rapists and murderers should be tortured in the most horrific ways, well  I did. I believe my opinion has changed in less than 10 minutes of seeing that quote. Those people are the ones who need help most of all, yet society shuns them in ways that are unimaginable to us who are moral and decent, though thinking someone should be tortured probably makes me very indecent.

I would like to know, those of you who are Christian and believe in Satan, Heaven, Hell, God, would you pray for Satan's soul? The mac daddy of all evil, the one being who probably deserves everything he ever got. Hell, to broaden that would you pray for Hitler, Napoleon, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, The BTK Killer, Elizabeth Bathory, a person who has murdered their own child?
Anyone of the such who I have forgotten. Could you ask your God to forgive these people, or pray that they find peace in death or have found peace in death? Or whatever it is you pray for.
 Wouldn't that be the Christ like thing to do for these lost souls? Could you do it, I am curious to know.

Until next time,
