A:
I mean, we've talked about this, but it's just crazy the stuff people put on Facebook. It's not my theory, but it really does seem like some of these people feel like their emotions or experiences aren't real unless they're demonstrated and sort of paraded in front of other people, you know?
B:
Yeah. Sometimes I worry that that's sort of our fault.
A:
We as men?
B:
No, we as scientists.
A:
Eeeh. Are we calling that a science?
B:
Well, science enthusiasts then. We're the ones always going on about evidence and materialism and all that.
A:
I don't really think
B:
Look, all I'm saying is that if we're going to give someone a hard time if they show up in a room and say, "Wow, I saw and talked with God last night!" then we shouldn't be surprised if those same people start giving us evidence that they are upset over breaking up with their boyfriend, or that they're grieving their miscarriage, or that they think their husband is great or whatever.
A:
And in these cases, the evidence is really tacky images, maudlin couplets, and hominies about walking on the beach with Jesus?
B:
Yes.
