Praying for someone is prosletyzing in your book?
I guess we do have different books then.
For me, praying for someone is simply something that is done out of concern for another individual and his/her situation. It doesn't mean you're trying to convert them. You're simply putting your efforts and good will and karmic energy towards their cause, so to speak.
At least that's how I see it. Though I do not consider myself religious, it's not uncommon for me to tell friends who are mourning a loss that they are in my prayers, and they are. I keep them present in my thoughts and say an extra few words to my God on their behalf.
Does this mean I am trying to convert them to my way of thinking? I don't think so...
