Hammer: I've noticed something, Anvil.
Anvil: Enlighten me, Hammer.
H: If you look around, you'll see literature about spirituality, the spiritual nature of our existence, and the soul, everywhere. Seems like everyone's written a book on these topics.
A: Agreed, brother.
H: But I was thinking. I've done a lot of reading, Anvil. And the more you read, the more you notice that, while everyone has different ways of painting the same ideas, regardless after a while you are no longer even really surprised when once again, you find this person talking about the exact same concept (under a different name) that you've been exposed to from so many other sources.
A: Lots of people have noticed that, but it's good that you're trying to systematize, Hammer. Pattern recognition is what separates us from the gardening implements and the silverware.
H: Well, fine. But I realized something today, and I'm gonna lay this on ya, get ready.
A: I'm steady. I'm holding on to something solid, Hammer.
Your mom's ass.
H: Fuck you, Anvil, Jesus, I'm trying to be serious here.
A: Fine fine, sorry. Lay it on me.
H: Anyone who in good faith searches for spiritual truth will find it.
A: Well you might be on to something there, Hammer.
H: I'm not even sure what it means. But it's obviously true. But... it raises a question for me. If someone searches in good faith for God specifically, will they find God?
A: Only if God is there.
H: ......
A: I'm gonna be honest, Hammer. I hate that Zen riddle face you make. It looks like your brain is passing a kidney stone.
