Arizona

Had a very religious, bereaved client come in who thought she was "crazy" because she could feel and hear her departed loved one around her after the departed's death.

She felt "very guilty because the Bible doesn't talk about dinosaurs." (Most common effect.)

Not wanting to denigrate her beliefs, I simply said, "Well, have you ever been to the Natural History Museum in Chicago?"

She nodded yes.

I asked her if she saw the huge dino skeletons.

Again she affirmed.

So, I told her, "Well, maybe the Bible just didn't go there."

The relief was palpable. Someone gave her permission to think for herself.

Cripes... Maddening.
