It irritates me when people say things like "The bible tells me that..." it makes me want to say "Well that's great that you lead your life according to a book that was written two thousand years ago by people who would be considered wacko cult members by today's standards, but the bible does not tell me what to do. I make my own choices and opinions."

It's citing the bible as a substitute for proof that bothers me....and claiming that someone who doesn't share his views is "Spiritually incompetent." Scientific evidence trumps your storybook, buddy...
The interesting thing I've noticed about "I'll pray for you" is that this is how one closes a conversation when one's flavor of religion does not allow one to say an obscenity and give the finger. It's secret code for that. :) Because "I'll pray for you" is just a way to express contempt, it's unnecessary to make good on this promise for every heretic infidel they meet. Who has that kind of time? A good response is, "No you won't. Not really."
Yep, secret christian profanity..... Of course, you remember the types of people who felt they had to honor those statements and covered all infidels with a blanket prayer. "God will understand." They tell themselves. Ugh!!!
One of my best friends does the same thing. I think when she does it for me though it's not the snubby snap so much as her way of saying I love you. Which is really odd. She know's I don't really expect her to or that I really think she'll do any good if she does but it makes her feel better so I let her ya know?
Interesting. It's a shame, because his argument started out sounding reasoned and logical, before deteriorating into Bible-thumping. Can't wait to hear his response, if any.
