        Cold, cold. 
I think that even most Christians today would try to save a drowning person, unless maybe they were dressed in drag. The drowning person, not the Christian.

        With them thinking thoughts and prayers will fix a problem, and they don't have to do anything else.

(18,219 posts)4. I don't see it that way.
        When someone is suffering from cancer or depression or abuse, few actually do anything that could help.  They don't come clean the house of a cancer patient going through chemo.  They don't have the time it takes to actually do something that is important.  But they will pray for that person.
And this is what the cartoon is showing.  Prayers do nothing.
