Often, in these forums, we are debating whether or not prayer "works". This usually takes the form of the christians explaining away the fact that we can never seem to detect the influence of prayer. It's always "God doesn't do tests" or "God does what's best for you, not necessarily what you ask for" or "Sometimes god says no".
So let's try the opposition. Will Satan answer a prayer in an unambiguous fashion? If not, why not? Does Satan have any power in the world today? Does he have a will independant of YHWH?
We often hear from christians about Satan or demons influencing people, or people working for them. So it should be possible to interact with them in some way.
Is it possible to summon a demon? Can a person converse with Satan?
How about if I ask Satan to cause me to sin? For example, I do not drink alcohol. If I pray to Satan to make me an alcoholic, will he? If not, why not?

I've tried it. Demons don't exist, or God.
I'd appeal to you: You have one life, why not live in Reality, and not some wacky religion some ancient guys invented?
