[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op if your in laws go to a mega bible church than you knew that this was bound to happen at some point. My mother has caught on that I don't buy it either (wasp here but with hard core mom)and she proselytizes a bit to my kids each time we visit and I am sure prays for us every day. :). I butt in when it gets too much but have used it as an opportunity to talk about the social psychology and near universality of religion of all stripes. My kids see this religion as part of grandma but they know that others have different religions and some have none and that whatever speaks to them as they grow up is fine. [/quote]

I can understand why the prostelyzing bothers you, but what is wrong with her praying for you everyday? If you don't believe in God, it hardly hurts you or your kids if she prays for you. Would you be this upset if she was New Agey and said she was burning herbs for you and consulting tarot cards. I don't believe in those things, but it doesn't harm me if someone feels like they are doing it on my behalf. What matters is that they care, right?[/quote]
