"Depends on the person but typically what I always want to say is nothing at all. Just silently remove myself from their presense."
Michael OL replied to Angel Chasse's discussion What do you guys say when someone offers to pray for you?
"The implicit idea behind "prayer" is that if the individual remains without prayer, he remains a single unit. But if the subject of prayer, then he's absorbed into the tribe. His formerly solitary tribulations now become…"

"Most of the time, I just keep quiet, but I have been known to reply:
"No need to pray for my benefit, but if it makes you feel better, go right ahead." Comes off a bit snarky, though.
And when my religious friends ask for…"

"So simple, why didn't i think of it? You are appreciating "their" support:)"

"How about, "I appreciate your support""

"As Seth Andrews from The thinking atheist says, you pray for me and I will think for you."

"Christ.
Yeah, 4x is not enough, if you're dealing with a fairly potent, concentrated toxin, before you start diluting it. That's only a 1/100,000,000 dilution. You could potentially build up a good deal of the original…"
Humble Pie replied to Angel Chasse's discussion What do you guys say when someone offers to pray for you?
"Officially, I believe it was supposed to be 4X, but there was actually huge variation from lot to lot."

"To put it another way, if you're going to give someone water, don't dehydrate it first.
What the hell dilution were they using? 10x dilution is sufficient to make even pure bleach perfectly safe to consume."
Humble Pie replied to Angel Chasse's discussion What do you guys say when someone offers to pray for you?
"Well, someone needs to tell it to the homeopaths. If water was going to cure anybody, we'd all be cured already.
On the other hand, the poisons sold as "homeopathy", even though they are in much too low of dilutions to be…"
Joseph P replied to Angel Chasse's discussion What do you guys say when someone offers to pray for you?
"I'd specifically be sure to share my thoughts, any time the mindless, prayer-squad stuff showed up on my page. That's why I don't have Facebook, either. I'd love the discussion, but I can't afford the time, right…"

"My brother just got out of the hospital and almost died due to a virus. Everyone is saying they are praying for his quick recovery. I'm having trouble understanding why adults can't see what's wrong with their logic. So god…"
Joseph P replied to Angel Chasse's discussion What do you guys say when someone offers to pray for you?
"I don't get irritated about it. I'm just a one-man meme-breaker. I can be very sarcastic and confrontational, at times. Do whatever seems fun, at the time. I find it a great deal of fun to mock people for their Bronze Age…"
Angel Chasse replied to Angel Chasse's discussion What do you guys say when someone offers to pray for you?
"Thanks for all of the replies. I guess I need to think of it as "they believe what they are offering will help me" -- even though it's not what I believe. I need to not get so irritated.. thanks for all of the varied replies guys, I…"
Tom Sarbeck replied to Angel Chasse's discussion What do you guys say when someone offers to pray for you?
"The posts here have inspired me. I'll give the prayperson a grin and say "I'd rather have money."

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
On a personal note, I've developed an animated gif technique, sort of “pull quote marries slideshow”. Samples are scattered across various groups, but you can find them easily by going to my twitter account. Each tweet has a link (after the description and before the hashtags) to a visually rich example here at Atheist Nexus. If you like them, please follow me
