Being the subject of a prayer
#4
RE: Being the subject of a prayer
Yeah, it's difficult. If they know you don't believe, it's rather bizarre. I would hope it's generally well intentioned, but when someone insists on doing something publically for no good reason I have to suspect there's a possibility of self interest.

I generally find people just tell me they will pray for me, and I just say thank you. I've not had it any more intense than that and not regularly, I understand it would be tough to get it as much as you have to put up with.

You could carry around the findings of the scientific study that showed prayer does not work (and in fact did slightly worse than not praying).
Feel free to send me a private message.
