James A. Owen quote #59 from Here
Astraeus Aven called out. God of the four winds and friend to sailors. Say a little prayer when you look at him so he will give us what we need to keep our course.A little prayer said Jack. To a constellationTo what it represents said Aven.But I dont believe in what it represents said Jack.Prayers arent for the deity said Aven. Theyre for you to recommit yourself to what you believe.Cant you do that without praying to a dead Greek godSure said Aven. But how often would anyone do that if not in prayer
