The Boulder City Council passed a new rule allowing prayer before its meetings, only to see a Satanist deliver an invocation that prompted council members to debate how to "undo the curse that was just put on our city," according to a report by 404 Media.
The sequence unfolded after the council adopted the policy permitting pre-meeting prayers. A Satanist then took the opportunity to lead a prayer, after which council members immediately discussed the timing and method to reverse what they described as a curse on the city. The episode was highlighted by journalist Jason Koebler, who called it "the funniest thing I've seen in a looooong time" in a social media post linking to the 404 Media coverage .
