They think that we witches are under the influence of Satan, and they must " save " us. And they get brownie point with for every person they try to "save".

What are you so afraid of? If you don't believe, then a person's prayers should be of no concern. Also, when you were a child, if your parents told you not to do something, did that not just make you want to do it more. Maybe I am a different kind of Christian, I am a Pentecostal minister who's best friend is Wiccan. While I do not believe in what she does, and it has led to some interesting discussions, (never arguments) basically we just agree to disagree and have remained friends for almost 30 years. Basically I think the people who tell you the will pray for you are just trying to annoy you, a true Christian will not have to tell you what they are doing.

Why do Christians pray for people who don't want to be prayed for?
Answer: John 12:39-41 (King James Version)
39Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

Answer: Your bad (is that the correct slang term)

The the following is the last sentence in YOUR profile, " I am very well educated and open minded." (copy and paste).
But I find a discrepancy here. A witch cannot be open minded. And this question just supports that point.
But to answer your question: because of love for you. A Christian defines love as an unselfish outgoing concern. Assume for a moment that the two of us went out hiking in the mountains and it became dark on our way out. There is only one infra-red binocular which I am using. You are in-front and I see you about to walk off a cliff and fall 500 metres to a certain death. Because I care about your well-being, I am duty-bound to warn you. And if you insist in continuing in the same direction and I cannot physically prevent you? Then I ask for help for you, EVEN THOUGH YOU DO NOT WANT IT.
But you can understand this because we're friends. Would I do the same for a stranger? Yes.

I'm wondering what harm it would cause for someone to pray for you.
Seriously, what's the worst that can happen if someone prays for you?
If God is imaginary, and prayer does no good, then nothing will happen, right?
On the other hand, if God IS real, then something WILL happen...but it won't be bad.
I might pray for your happiness, your contentment, for all to go well for you. I might pray that God bless you, in a way that only He can. If there is no God, I'm wasting my breath. If there IS a God...then why wouldn't you want that?
Besides, you can't stop people from praying for you. You just can't.
One time on here, I asked for prayer/good thoughts/good wishes from everyone. A couple of Wiccans answered, and said they would light candles for me. Did I tell them not to? Of COURSE not! I understand that when Muslims pray to Allah for someone else, when Jews pray to YHWH, when Wiccans and pagans call on their gods and goddesses, they mean it most kindly.
Why would I not want that? Why would ANYONE not want that? Explain it to me like I'm stupid. I don't understand this idea.
Are you afraid our prayers might be answered?

well, we christians pray for those who dont even want prayer because the power of prayer works and we are supposed to carry a burden for others, and if you dont like it, sorry that it offends you but it is what we are supposed to do as christians. Not to make you feel anyway but cared for, If you dont like it tell them not to tell you they prayed for you. But they do it out of the love the lord has put in the hearts of believers, plus God is a God of mercy and compassion and will pour blessings over those who trust and seek him, so why would you want to miss out on what he has to offer, even an answer to a prayer?

Christians pray to a similar God that Jesus and the Jews and all of God's human beings pray to.. Jesus is a factor of the wholeness of God and he prayed to his Father in heaven who's a factor of the wholeness of God and is the same God all believers in the authentic God pray to and have consistently prayed to.. there is basically one God and he's the daddy, Son and Holy Spirit.

They have this assumption that prayers work and they think by praying their prayers will be answered. Yet there is nor has there been any proof that prayers actually work despite their false claims.
If prayers really did work then amputees would have had their limbs regrown through the "power of prayer"

Tell them you'll pray for them to Satan in return. Should do the trick. Pray is useless anyway. If it worked it would negate free will. Someone praying for me to be saved would subvert my free will not to be saved. Good thing I'm not a Christian who believes in both prayer and free will.

1 Samuel 12:23
As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.
1 Samuel 1:27
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
***I will pray for you.
