Praying for you is touching our unique nature
Common to you and me,
Touching the point within us where we cease to be different,
Sheltering this point.

Prayer, then, is a form of empathy.
Prayer to whom, though? Is it right to pray for another to a deity that other does not accept?

That is a very good question…
The issues of infringement to personal boundaries this raises are dissolved once we agree on the fact that, beyond the recipient of the prayer (deity…) what truly matter is the intention, ‘purity ‘of heart of the « emitter » of that prayer.

I assume « we » is you and I.
Resolved for the person praying, not for anyone wedded to a specific concept of deity. The problem and its resolution lies with the person for whom prayer is offered.
One solution might be to pray to the deity that person accepts, but that may have issues if the person praying is then seen as hypocritical, and not a « true » believer.

…in which case this remains this person’s problem and doesnt harm the other in any way.
A hypocritical practice would only push and lock the practitionner further down in his own fabric of illusion.

you’ve changed Simon, using the T word without even having been triggered.
Quotation marks cannot constitue an alibi.
You ve used it.

Not at all. It was used in the sense of a « trademark » – on the now defunct ex-Christian forum, the word was put in quotation marks, sometimes ith « TM » after it, to mark the irony of anyone claiming to be a « true » Christian. That was the intended implication, here. « True » in the eyes of the person for whom the prayers are offered.
