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.

I'm not going to lose to Jews because id rather fight with kike on a stick posters. Grab your arms and face the enemy, dude.

Oh, so the issue is just the complete lack of humility and sincerity, not the adaptation of an opposing framing.
Fuck... I hate when my autistic ass sees a potential for a deep topic, and it's just this lame surface one. Of course it makes sense then...
That actually reminds me of something. On my way to an old job I used to work at, I used to pass a house that had a sign in the yard that said "christians for abortion" or something very similar. These people honestly believe that they can't just put "Christians for (x)" and think it will magically work to shame them into taking a new position. It's like a glowie meme in real life, or the "how do you do fellow kids" one.
When I tell someone I'll pray for them, i take it deadly seriously. It stakes my reputation and the power of God, on my support for what a person is going through. There's a big difference and Christians should know it. ...and so should others.
Jesus called out the first kind of religious hypocrites. They were the Jews who killed him, and they are the enemies of all mankind. Let the reader understand.
All of it absolutely OOZES bad faith, and I think the meme perfectly captures the mindset and motivation behind it.
