I believe we should pray for others. It doesn't have to be in their face or even in person. I've prayed for many people on this forum. What exactly do yu see wrong with intercessory prayer?
A believer in God must assume that God exists. If one assumes the existence of God, it will be not good to pray without knowing how God himself would respond.
You can't knock on God's door, and ask him something that disrespects him or contradicts what he already said. I should only pray for somebody in need of that prayer and deserving that prayer too; or else I'm asking God for what I don't know.
Imagine praying for somebody like Hitler or a serial-killer. My prayer would then be a kind of an insult to their victims.
I expect God to honor the victims of unjust. That's one example.
One would think that Hitler and serial killers are the most deserving of prayer. If someone needs god the most, surely it’s them.
