I realize that you believe Cinjin has wronged you, which I won't get into as it's not my fight, but do you realize that this is about as big of an insult you hurl at anyone, let alone a non-believer? Essentially, what you are saying is that you think that the person you will be praying for is such a horrible human being that you will petition your deity on their behalf to intervene in their life to turn them into something you find more agreeable, or at the very least, show them some mercy. It would have been less insulting and less condescending to simply have called him an "asshole."
Now, maybe you didn't intend it that way, but that is how it comes across.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
