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.
Do you have any idea how many people on here hurl insults at me for far less than What Cinjin has said?? Geez,I got attitude after my first post just because someone thought I should have introduced myself. Does anyone else on here care that the Christian gets insulted at a far more offensive level?? Of course not. Institute a mandatory "online rule" about it and hold EVERYONE to it !! BTW,THIS IS CINJINS SIG: If something I said offended you ... you should probably go somewhere else. Practice what you preach!

But when someone says "I'll pray for you", in the sense that is intended here, that of addressing some perceived pitiable character flaw making that person inferior in some way, we're expected to be grateful.
How do you know how I meant it??

In 60 seconds you will burn in that stove you are in, you can try to pray for god, or you can leave the stove. Live or die, make your choice.
Ill put in a good word for you too.
