Do You Get A Weird Feeling, when people tell you they pray for you? Options

I have two friends that are really serious about Christianity praying and stuff.
And the other day they said the pray for me alot. And me being a Satanist, I felt really weird. It was a slight twinge of something but I don't know what the feeling was. It was very weird. I feel emotions physically too. And my arms had a tingling sensation. It was really weird. Maybe them praying for me is giving me energy by sucking their energy...
I have no idea LOL!

Oh well.

Just strange.

It depends. But just an emotional reaction and nothing psychic or anything like that. But since, in my youth, I was forced into Christian schools against my will, I feel really pissed off, but only if its said in a condescending manner, like "oh you poor unsaved soul, I shall pray for you because you are not a high and mighty Christian like myself, who is guaranteed a spot in heaven and am therefore above thy heathen ways"

Why are most xtians so judgemental? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gun2.gif)
"Lord, save me from your followers"

But if someone really means it, in times of hardship, or just for a good positive boost, then I feel very grateful.

I get prayed for a lot. I am still gay, heathen, immoral, and not saved.

So while I don't think it's always condescending, I no longer even pay attention to it, and never feel its effects on any level.

I also think that many people who say "I'll pray for you" either A: Don't, or B: Do, but with no sincerity, and no real knowledge of what it means to pray.

Many people pray with empty words - faith that they were taught to have, ritual prayers that amount to words and verses they repeat blindly, etc. I think the number of people who know how to pray is far outweighed by the number of people who 'pray' on a regular basis. Don't forget that the vast majority of religious individuals are only religious because they were told to be.
