How ironic and appropriate from you. Two other entities that are intolerant of people that are different. You stand in good company Enkidu.

I can't remember asking for something for myself in a prayer, I usually pray for others.

Ah, this is where the atheists tell us they are more enlightened, more evolved, and more astute than the billions of Buddhists, Shintoists, Hindi, Christians, and Muslims that ever were and ever will be.
I await your flow of brilliance and promise not to correct your basic language errors. Continue.
buddhists dont really pray to god. they dont even really believe in a god the way you do.
im pretty sure the shintoits dont really either.
in fact, im pretty sure they are both pagans.
so you probably shouldnt include them in a pro christian argument

Doesn't matter who you pray for, nobody is listening. 
Seriously, with the number of times people have prayed for stuff and got squat you'd think they'd give it up, but Einstein was right, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is a sign of insanity.

My argument was not pro Christian at all. Many of the world's living religions do not have a central god or may have multiple gods. Shintoism is poly-theistic except during a period in its history where it was supplanted by Buddhism and under its dominance. In other words, it has many gods and is much closer to animism with the exclusion of Buddhism's more comprehensive approach to 'sentient beings'. Both religions recognize an inner-connectedness of all beings [in Buddhism, sentient, in Shintoism all existence] Both religions use prayer, in Buddhism prayer flags and prayer wheels are also used, and those prayers have more to do with overall well-being of all connected things rather than specifically praying for something to happen or not happen.
Both Shintoism [regionally dependent] and Buddhism have at their core peace with self and purity or clarity of thought with compassion being one of the highest forms of enlightenment. Buddhism is far more ritualized than Shintoism - its very hard to find a Shinto priest because basically Shintoism believes no one has moral or spiritual ascendancy over anyone else.
I am personally familiar with both Shintoism and Buddhism. The fundamental athiests make no distinctions between religions, all of the billions of adherents are somehow lesser than they are. Doesn't make any difference to me one way or the other but it does to them, which is comical.

This would be an especially honorable position to take except for the fact that most religious folks love to legislate their beliefs for EVERYONE else.
I hardly think religious people have a monopoly on legislating their views on others. Why not focus on the legislating your views on others bit and not the religious bit?
