Todays question

I seem to be helping old people in super market parking lots. Its no biggy to me I enjoy being able to help people out when I can. Where things get dicey afterwords is that I hate when they offer me money and really hate when they say they will pray for me. DOes it make me some kind of fucked up grinch type because it offends me when folks say that they will pray for me ?
I found a ladys car for her last night because she could no find it. Her panic button didnt work so I went row to row looking for the plate. Find it let her take my arm and lead her to it. She insists on giving me money which makes me super uncomfortable. Then I keep trying to sneak the money back to her but she is watching me like a hawk and tells me dont you dare. Then the I will pray for yous start. Was just a strange uncomfortable situation for me and i didnt know what to do so I took the old ladys money let her hug on me then things got dicey. She told me god put me in her path and I couldnt let it slide cuz im a prick. Was like im faithless im here cuz i needed some coke and I helped you cuz its decent thing to do. She tells me that I am a man of god weather I know it or not. I felt offended.

Seems like you will go out of your way to help a stranger, yet can't simply humor them and say thank you when they say "I'll pray for you"? What is the big deal, if you don't believe in God, how does their faith offend you?

I dont need prayers. Im not god driven. Cant you just thank me without putting your god on me or bringing it up at all ?

She was thanking you at the highest level she is able, the issue is not hers to deal with, but yours.
When I sneeze at work, someone, sometimes, says god bless you, and I just smile and say thanks

(which is what you should have done to that lady

).
Sometimes ignorance is bliss

This is what I can't understand: you are going out of your way to help but can't accept their gratitude. When they are saying it that is their way of offering their thanks to you in the way that they know. Do the words used in their gratitude really that important to you? They are not asking you to join them in the prayer are they?

Because of this thread, I'm taking up prayer again - just to pray for Spazz.
Also, I'm lighting candles in your name. Enjoy it, God-boy.

smile and say thanks would be the best approach

OR you could say something like "thanks but actually i'm muslim"
you might get some funny reactions, but better yet you might challenge some stereotypes
EDIT:
as for money, you could say "na i'm good, drop it in the next soup kitchen donation jar you see"
