Eh, if it make them happy I don't see any reason to have a problem with it. It's kinda nice actually...

I didn't pick yes, because sometimes it can annoy me, but then it's the thought that counts, so... :|

For me, it entirely depends on the circumstances. Far too many times people have said they would "pray for me" because they felt that I needed to find Jesus, because my actions or beliefs weren't correct by their standards (like when I told my friends I was Pagan, or when my boyfriend proposed to me without asking my father's permission first). Or they felt that I wasn't capable of handling whatever problems I had at the time on my own. (Like when I have a bad day, and they insist on "praying for help.") It's annoying, and comes across, to me, as very condescending and disrespectful.

But there are times when I'm okay with it, too. Like when my mom was being treated for breast cancer, or when I was diagnosed with depression.

It's okay, I guess. Like Christians pray for me sometimes, but I don't believe anything will happen, since I don't believe the Christian God will actually do anything, because he never has.

I'm a Wiccan. I only believe in my God and Goddess. <3

It depends. Sometimes just knowing that they care enough about me to mention me in their prayers is nice. I appreciate that. However, if someone is praying for me to stop being an Omnist and believe in only THEIR views, then no. I don't appreciate that shit. I have chosen to be an Omnist, and I love it <3
