It is arrogant, self-righteous, and ridiculous - it wrongly assumes that the person praying is following the only correct religious belief (I personally do not have beliefs, only good ideas, Dogma ftw) and that anyone who isn't is going to hell. The exception to this being someone in a state of severe depression who needs some guiding force in their life, and the person praying is hoping for them to find SOMETHING to run to to seek balance.
But some people need god's powerful help, regardless if they know it or not. So some people pray for others to love god and be happy. They ask god to find a way for them so both can we happy, knowing god is merciful.
