The people in question were all, "well, we don't have to have your permission - we are going to pray for you..." I was astounded, "Despite the fact that I have specifically asked you not to pray for me, you are going to ignore that request and do it?" The got all weird and proud and psuedo-holy and said, "Correct..." All I could think of to say was, "Well, I don't think that is very polite actually.." and as they were constructing the idea that God's will was above the idea of being polite I walked away. I felt totally manipulated and yes, I do think that such manipulative goings on are evil. Absolutely.
