Response to Troll = Bite.  I hate to break it you, but you bit.  Then
again, his message really wasn't a troll; it is just offtopic (judging
from the string "OT" in the subject header).

You sound like a preacher-in-a-can (most people call them
"televangelists").  Telling someone "you'll be in my prayers" when
they have a different viewpoint than you makes you really come off
sounding self-righteous and kind of like, well, a jackass.  For
example:

Brad, you'll be in my prayers.  I pray that RMS will turn your eyes
upon the error of your ways and bring you into his cushy and
rainbow-colored Lisp Land to make your cold, sinful heart holy.  I
weep tears of blood every night that your dark soul may come clean
again...

See!? That was exaggerated, but I sounded like a complete jackass!

P.S. I'm just being honest (something your religion would probably encourage).
