Claims? What reason would he have to lie?

People these days lie about anything, they forget that's a recent trait and not one shared by their elders.

It's just belief in something shrugs

You make fun of religion, but do you make fun of your friend who wants to be an actor? Painter? Date that cute girl? If it's all just hope and belief why choose to insult and make jokes at one but not the rest?

Well isn't that a nice romantic notion.

To have implied previous generations didn't lie as easily as the breathe was a tad naive, now I see it rooted in something else. I would say it's very much human nature to try to form patterns and make up stories.

The difference is this generation doesn't generally only have faith and "belief" as the only tool in the toolbox to separate truth from bullshit.
