If someone wants to pray for him, for whatever outcome, that is of course their choice. We all know it won't make the slightest bit of difference, but advertising that fact, is nothing short of disrespectful. What happened to respecting other peoples beliefs? It is clear to anyone who has heard of him that he would not want people to pray for him. It is condescending and arrogant. I suppose they are trying to push people into either thanking them for their "help" or censure them for what they see as reasonable behaviour.
