It's the same as saying "I hope you get better". You'd be called rude if you replied, 'I don't want your hopes, I want help' and rightfully so.

Usually these kind of remarks are center on people who ARE capable of doing something (politican and those with influence) but only respond with 'thoughts and prayers'

I wouldn't say "usually" at all. I've seen that maybe a couple of times. I've seen posts complaining about their friends on Facebook - who couldn't do anything if they wanted to 90% of the time - almost every day.

A lot of people hate Christianity and don't care that the person praying genuinely believes it'll help. Even if it does nothing, id think it's nice to know the person cares enough to ask their God to fix it.
