The goat is good, heck I'll will prly never use it, but I will definitely share it. My first reaction is to do just that (pray for someone) but people can be uncomfortable with it, so I've learned not to say anything. I came to this conclusion when once, in a discussion a known pagan offered to pray for me, I was a bit taken aback and the snide part of me wanted to say something equivalent to your quip. But before anything nasty came out I just smiled and said thank you. My problem with this thread is there are so many thin skins, most people don't really mean anything negative by wishing someone a Merry Christmas...You seem to get it ;) Altho a greeting does not imply a religious delusion, if I say "have a good evening" it's not because I worship Selena. :D
