And it is obvious you and what's her name have no compassion for other, living or dying.
For me the first time the christian didn't know better and then I let them know I find it offensive. Then they continue to tell me. What should I think?
You find that a person cares enough for you to take time out of their life to do something for you is offensive? Your compassion for others is lacking in comparison to what compassion others have for you.

In this case "God's mercy" is a euphemism for death. How is what I said in any sense false? You both pray for life and for death. When people then subsequently die, you take that as confirmation of your belief in God. How can you go wrong with that? Can you be any more stupid?
No the conformation is God's mercy upon those we have prayed for. Death can be mercy, many on their death beds have asked God for just that thing mercy through death. It's certain I'm not on your high level of stupidity. Now hears this, we pray asking that if it is God's will that a person want recover from whatever is taking them to there end that He would be merciful and end their suffering. This is far different than what you are trying to tell others I said. Those you are trying to influence can read and understand well enough that they do not need your false interpretation of what I said.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
