@ChristiJunior @renwillis
Sorry, but I still have to steelman this.

When a christian says "I will pray for you", it is the most condescending line he can use. It says "I consider myself superior to you, and I will not even leave my frame to show empathy towards you". Therefore, I assume, it is important to be able to open your mind to the opposing view especially when arguing with any level of empathy.

That guy is still an asshole, I just hate the meme for implying kinda much broader argument for apathy.

@LukeAlmighty @renwillis The point is that you see tons of left-liberal atheists making all these extremely crude and obvious attempts to manipulate Christians, whose beliefs they openly despise, into supporting fashionable left-liberal policies by claiming that they are OBVIOUSLY what Jesus would have wanted, based on their own extremely flimsy and flawed understanding of Christianity (which again, is a religion they not only don't believe in, but actively oppose).

All of it absolutely OOZES bad faith, and I think the meme perfectly captures the mindset and motivation behind it.
