To: Mrs. Don-o
I have observed that some people feel insulted if you say you'll pray for them. (Not always, but often enough so I noticed.) They feel that it's an act of arrogance to give a prayer or blessing; they think the blesser or pray-er is implying that he or she is a spiritual superior, and the recipient a spiritual inferior.

In other words, that the person saying "I'll pray for you" is also saying under their breath, "...you moral retard."

It puzzles me, as I have always felt grateful if a person said they'd pray for me. Even a person of a different religion: I think, "Well, I don't believe as you do, but I know you mean well."

Am I wrong?

======================================

NO, you are NOT wrong.
You are as right as rain.
