Would you attend a religious ceremony or event because a friend asked you to come?
How do you respond when people say they are praying for you?
I attend weddings and funerals of family or friends even if they are in a church or religious environment. If someone says they are praying for me, depending who it is, I just say Okay or Thanks. if it is someone trying to push their religious beliefs on me, though, depending on how aggressive they are, I will respond with anything from "Whatever floats your boat" to "GFY".
