[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christians can pray for whomever and whatever they wish to pray for. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. Prayer is their choice.

It is the attitude of one who prays. It doesn’t influence God necessarily. They person who prays focuses their thoughts and their emotional and spiritual life through prayer and that’s how they choose to interact with aspects of the world around them.

Prayer isn’t arrogant, it’s how some people feel comfortable interacting with their fellow man and the world around them.

Telling people specifically in a religion forum that their prayers suck is arrogant. Interaction with religious people, when you have rejected God, and lecturing them on prayer reeks of arrogance.

If you don’t like prayer, and don’t like interacting with Christians, or Jews, or Muslims, all who pray, don’t interact with them. [/quote]

Prayer can be arrogant and it certainly was in the example here.  Anyone anywhere saying they don't want to be prayed for is not arrogant any more than declining any assistance is arrogant.

question:  are you saying that it's acceptable for Christians to pray for atheists who have made it clear that they don't want the prayers, but not acceptable for atheists (or anyone) to acknowledge that they don't want the prayers?

And Thanks for demonstrating just how arrogant and insensitive some people can be.

Also, please keep in mind that this is the Religion forum, not the "Religious believers only" forum. [/quote]

You don’t decide how people pray, you don’t decide how people vote, you don’t decide how people spend their money, etc.

Prayer is a personal expression.

If you reject the prayer that someone says for you, fine. But you can’t tell anyone how to pray or what to pray for.

Prayer is someone’s chosen way of spiritual expression, and not arrogant. It is ridiculously arrogant to reject God, and lecture people who pray on the role of prayer in their life. Get over yourself.

It’s completely acceptable to pray for you when you say you don’t want prayer. The person who prays has the right to pray whatever they want.

If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But it’s not arrogant to pray for someone.

It is arrogant to insert yourself into a forum that deals with religion and become incredibly butthurt and feel attacked that a Christian prays for you.

Also, I am praying for you right now. I will pray for you tonight as well. [/quote]
