T A A replied to Doug Espi's discussion '"I'm praying for you"'"I consider it annoying and presumptive even though I know they mean well.
I disagree, when someone says, in a debate context, they will pray for you, they are being condescending, that sense of 'mean well' you get is their lie."
Adam Weber replied to Doug Espi's discussion '"I'm praying for you"'"'It it annoys me to no end whem someone tells me they will pray for me and part of the reason it annoys me so much is, if someone says that to me, they obviously don't know me very well or they would not say that, and they don't…"

Jennifer Ulean Breedlove replied to Doug Espi's discussion '"I'm praying for you"'"I say thank you. Unless they are praying for me to find god then I tell them exactly how I feel.
I even find myself often telling other's that i will keep them in my thoughts when they are going through a hard time. Not that I am praying for…"
Dustin replied to Doug Espi's discussion '"I'm praying for you"'"I find it rude for theists to say "I'll pray for you". They immediately make the assumption that I believe what they believe.
