I think it depends on how they say it. I'm more religious than most, but more than a few times people who have told me to pray in such-and-such a situation have been real jerks about it.

Angry? Probably not.

No one has suggested such an action to me in well over 25 years, and if they did now, I would regard the suggestion as a non sequitur, and hopefully approach someone with a more helpful suggestion!

But I doubt at this stage of my adult life that I would approach a person who would suggest such an action in the first place.

Wow, this might actually be the most insufferably smug and euphoric way humanly possible to word this. Especially the last sentence--nice to know religious people exude some sort of aura that you can detect to avoid accidentally confiding a problem in one of us.

You still sucking up to Trump, by the way?

Fair enough, although I'll point out that I was using "euphoric" with its meme meaning, not its literal meaning.

In my philosophy club in undergrad we had this guy come to a few meetings who got offended if people said "bless you" when he sneezed.
