When someone says they’ll pray for me, I tell them, “You’re free to waste your time however you want.”

Why not just say thank you and move on? It’s not going to hurt you at all if someone prays for you.

it’s also not going to hurt said person if I tell them not to waste their time on something I don’t want and never asked for. they can still choose to pray. I’m not obligated to appease them.

You literally don’t have to say anything at all. Just nod or something.

Prayer is not benign.

No, prayers aren't nice and all. Prayers are dangerous. Prayers are a way for people to convince themselves that they've done something when actually they have done nothing. Prayers seem to absolve people of taking on the responsibility of demanding change. Prayers pass the buck to an imaginary being. Prayers ensure that the problem will persist.

This isn’t about “thoughts and prayers,” though. This is about one person saying they’ll pray for you if you’re having a hard time. That is not harmful. It’s just a way of showing support to someone you know, especially if they don’t have the resources to help otherwise.

This is a false rationalization. You should never assume that people want your prayers. It is completely arrogant to push this on others. It is harmful when it's not welcome. You are acknowledging that prayer is not helpful. It is not support, it is empty words.

Normalize comforting people w/o mentioning god. While that may be a comforting thing for you, it isn't for everyone.

Why don't you let it go If people tell you they don't want this why are you insisting on doing it? If you think religion causes no harm you clearly have never studied history.

I didn’t say that religion has caused no harm, and I’m not saying that now. What I am saying is that you don’t have to be an asshole about this. If it brings them comfort, just nod and walk away. If you don’t believe, it’s not hurting you AT ALL.
