3 Legal but Provocative Invocation Prayers (Satanist, FSM, Muslim) + GALLOWAY basics

... for brave souls to perform at local council meetings.  Per Galloway, these invocations don't denigrate other religions, proselytize, or threaten damnation.

(partial) SUMMARY OF GALLOWAY V GREECE NY:
"The Supreme Court’s ruling, authored by Justice Kennedy, makes clear that local governments must make "reasonable efforts to identify all of the congregations located within its borders" and welcome an invocation by anyone who wishes to give one, regardless of their faith. The majority decision also states that the policy must be one of nondiscrimination.  The opinion adds that the invocations must not "denigrate nonbelievers or religious minorities, threaten damnation, or preach conversion."




At a school board meeting, they (and all prayers) are legally considered school-led prayer - essentially illegal and not to be coerced or given at school functions.  Here's the most recent decision on school board prayer:

There are MANY forms of Satanism.  Some are sincere, some are about fear.  Two more interesting ones are the "Rational Satanists" and the Church of Satan (post-LeVay):

Here's a sample invocation from one Satanist group:
“Let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the Tree of Knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old. Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations. Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true. Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of One or All. That which will not bend must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise. It is Done. Hail Satan.”


From the Pastafarians:
From the official website: http://www.venganza.org/about/

Our pasta, which art in oven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy noodles come, thy sauce be yum, thy dough it is so unleavened
Give us this day our garlic bread,
and forgive us our broccoli florets, steamed, with lemon butter
And lead us into temptation, but deliver us some Pizza.
For thine is kingdom of the pesto and alfredo,
forever and ever. Ramen.


From the Muslim world:

the "Adhan" is the Muslim call to prayer. It is generally improvised with these

Arabic lyrics:

Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.
Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah.
Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah.
Ash-hadu anna Muhammad-ar-Rasoolullah.
Ash-hadu anna Muhammad-ar-Rasoolullah.
Hayya 'alas-Salah. Hayya 'alas-Salah.
Hayya 'alal-falah. Hayya 'alal-falah.
Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.
La ilaha ill-Allah.

English translation:

Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great. I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Come to prayer. Come to prayer. Come to Success. Come to Success. Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great. There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.

I also have a lovely classic Pagan invocation, like those I've given at UUCP and various gatherings.
