Hmmm. That's not what he said though. See, xtians are supposed to
'witness' for their god. That can be taken as 'forced', by some who think
their religion is above the rest.

Or, witnessing can be interpreted by the un-believer to be forced upon
them.

In any case, when he says he'll pray for you, that's what he means.
Whether the one he's praying for likes it or not, which is on the edge of
forcing his religion.

My opinion of those athiests who protest his praying for them seems to be
hypocritical, in that if they don't believe in a god, why are they upset
that someone is praying to a non-existant god?

In Joe's case. i.e. His kind. Joe is a catholic and according to his
churches earthly leader, protestants are not true christians.
