I'd like to thank those of you who answered my last question thoughtfully and respectfully, whichever side you argued for. I also want to clarify and ask again. I did not mean that I have a problem with you praying for me. That's fine. It's something personal for you, and you should do as you see fit. I apologize for the confusion. It's the statement itself, directed at me, when the person knows I'm an atheist and could be offended by it. "I'll pray for you." Let's compare it to someone coming up to a religious person and saying, "God is dead!" or using that in religious discussion. It's not going to detract from the religious person's principles, but it could be annoying and possibly hurtful. I guess I just want to know if that affects opinions or what people think.
Hmm, I need a question. If an atheist makes two posts on Yahoo Answers and attracts a couple hundred Christians to pray for him, would he have a better shot for redemption under the Christian God despite his beliefs?
