Just curious. Since you think you're doing a nice thing when you pray for someone who doesn't share your belief structure.

they are quite happy to do us the favor of impressing upon us their judgements.
shows how selfish theism can be

Its not about everyone having their own belief system and being satisfied in leaving other people alone.
Its not about being politically correct.
The book of Revelation will occur at some point and Christians want to spread the word to as many as possible so those people have the opportunity to save their soul.
Its not fiction. Its real.
How do we feel when you say you will pray to Satan? We are concerned for you and we pray for you to turn around.

That is your choice, just as praying is my choice. However, Satan won't save your soul, he will ruin it, so it would be more appropriate to pray for that. At least Christians are praying out of love, and not out of pettiness or spitefulness, though.

I would think the following: Here is a true follower of what he believes and he cares enough to pray for me--even tho' I differ with him. That is the logical response: There is another thought also: It is a Faithful response to the God you worship--Satan or (Atheism)

I think if someone says they'll pray for you, it's often just another way of saying "I'll be thinking of you", which I see no reason to be offended by.
But then much of the "I'll be praying for you" that people say here is in a different context altogether.

I never could figure out why atheists would be so offended (or is the word "incensed"?) over Christians saying they would pray for them. Since you believe that God is an... what's the phrase? imaginary sky daddy/fairy? anyway, wouldn't the worst we could possibly doing is deluding ourselves (at least in your view)?
I'd just be smart enough to know that satan was powerless against God, and thus wouldn't affect my standing with Him one bit.

I feel sorry for you because no one can save someones soul because nobody hears your prayers.People all over the world waste so much time and money for prayers,pilgrimage and conventions.Instead if they had used that money to remove poverty,hunger and disease !.We could have created a better world!

This would be quite useless as satan is in the business of bringing souls to damnation and not to saving them.

Every curse returned, dipped in the love of God.
See Satans name means destruction. Curses are people desire voiced for destruction on others.
So, every curse headed my way is returned to sender, dipped in the love of God. Jesus told me to bless those who curse me.
