My aunt is a wonderful lady, but she’s very gullible. Thanks to a video she saw on Facebook, she now believes the conflict in Israel is a sign of the end times and is deeply concerned for my immortal soul. How do I politely let her know that while I appreciate her concern I have no real reason to believe that the Israeli government commiting war crimes against Palestine is going to bring about the second coming of Christ?

    Handle it the same as you would any monomania.

    “Hey, I get this is important to you, and I’ve listened. It’s getting boring enough that no matter how much I love you, it makes you hard to be around.”

    I know, that seems harsh, but half the trouble people have with other people comes down to not being direct and clear.
