I just want to know how to deal with this better. I can't very well storm off everytime someone wants to pray on me. But I also can't very well standby quitely while I'm blithely insulted.
Sorry, bet you get that all of the time, or at least more often than is ever comfortable.
I'd suggest that you have a conversation with the pastor, arranged to meet in a public place. From your past posts I think your Dad knows your feelings/position and, being a deacon, has not passed along your feelings to the pastor.
Let the pastor know that, no matter what your beliefs, he does not have your permission to use you to promote his beliefs. And that if he does you intend to publicly embarrass in front of the congregation. I'll leave the action up to you. I'm sure I and others here could come up with some very colorful responses. I see that some already have.
Good luck. Don't punish Dad to much, he was only partly responsible.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
