Just curious since I got some rather angry reactions to my last question about not wanting people to pray for my sister.
PS I know some Christians would be glad to have people of other faiths pray for them; but I have seen prayer requests here turn somewhat nasty because some Christians didn't want 'devil prayers' being said in the name of a Christian.

Grateful?

OK, so I'm NOT a Christian, I'm a wiccan. However, as I see it beggars can't be shoosy about who does and does not offer a prayer request response. I have responded to prayer requsts from folks of MANY Religions. I offer them in nothing but GOOD intentions. If SOME wish to reject those prayers because they percieve them as "coming from the Devil" then the problem is NOT mine, it's theirs, at which point I not only offer my prayers for the purpose that they were requested but I also offer a prayer for the person(s) who rejected that prayer.
I figure if they have a problem with that then THEY can take it up with their God, who will probably slap them accross the head, metaphorically, and tell them that if you didn't WANT the prayer then why'd you ask for it in the first place?

like dear Raji, I'm answering this from a Wiccan perspective...
but I do believe that regardless of my faith, or lack thereof, I'd be grateful to anyone who opens their heart in the way they see fit...it would humble me that they are extending their kindness to me && my family && I see no reason to be offended or afraid of other faiths- after all, a good deed is a good deed whether performed by Wiccan, Christian, Athiest, Budhist, or monkey, is it not? ;)

I don't believe in prayers, but I would see it as a gesture of kindness (whatever the religion). I would hope that they had called the ambulance first, of course.

If she prayed by God of Abraham I would accept it. But I put the full armor of God around me so even if she did pray other kind of prayers, my soul would be safe. Nice thought. : )

I would just thank them. Even though I don't believe as they do, I would appreciate their kindness. And "devil" prayers (your words, not mine) are no match for God, IMHO. :)

I would appreciate their concern and thank them and leave it at that.
I'm not afraid of other people's religions. There are wonderful, caring people of all faiths.
