Everyone saw the video of the Satanic prayer at the Ottumwa City Council meeting, but did you see what happened right after the guy stepped away from the mic? Pastor Rick Bick, who was in attendance, wasn't about to let someone pray to Satan and speak a curse over his city. He immediately stood up and confronted the guy right there in the aisle: “I stopped him, and I said, ‘Did you just say 'hail Satan?' And he went into this, ‘Yeah, and if you can say ‘in the name of Jesus,’ I can say ‘hail Satan.’ And I said, ‘No, you can't do that here, you got to go.’ [Then] he virtually ran out of the building. I just stood up and challenged everything... I said, 'He just put a curse on our city, and we need to stop and just reverse it right now.' One city council member, after he started the prayer, walked out of the meeting… In the city, even non-religious people, they're up in arms. They're saying, ‘No, who prays to Satan? Who does that?’ And so, it's caused a lot of things on the local level.”
