      I assume the comment means in this person’s eyes, not in their own. It seems like sarcastically discussing their beliefs, in that they didn’t actually do anything that matters and are just worried this guy sinned. I don’t know though. It’s impossible to tell the difference between sarcasm and authenticity in text.

        Well I mean sarcastic or not, the comment isn’t appropriate. It’s very unlikely she started praying because she thought the person was a sinner, she started praying for the person’s safety. Prayer for something like this is an expression of concern.

        Dark humor doesn’t always work with complete strangers. The reason it was taken in a “weirdly negative way” is just because it was either an inappropriate thing you actually believe or an inappropriate joke.
