"...Consider that the woman praying for her neighbors has it more figured out than the person whining to the paper." -Vice President-elect JD Vance

It all started after someone wrote to The New York Times Magazine's "The Ethicist" column to complain about an 85-year-old neighbor whom the writer called "a sweet friend and caring person."

Despite these kind words, the complainant said there's a big problem with this octogenarian: the elderly do-gooder simply won't stop praying.

"My issue is that she is very religious and I'm not at all," the unnamed individual wrote. "She prays for me and says it in person, texts and emails for even the most minor of situations. I've told her my view of religion and that she doesn't need to pray for me."

But the elderly prayer warrior apparently won't take, "No," for an answer.

"She said she has to, otherwise she's not following the Bible," the complainant continued. "I'm trying to ignore this, but it's really bothering me that she can't respect my wishes."

Vance, who held little back, responded with some truly candid advice for this grieved individual.

"What should you do?" he rhetorically wrote on X, offering his own advice on the matter. "Accept it as a sweet gesture and stop being a weirdo."

Vance wasn't done there, adding, "Or: consider that the woman praying for her neighbors has it more figured out than the person whining to the paper."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
