I have a friend who once was brought to tears marking a paper. It rattled his religious faith as well a lot of his other life beliefs too, causing him much grief - probably a genuine example of 'life changing experiences' that our foaming at the mouth 'banter friend' was previously claiming that I know naughtynaught of too....

While writing a dissertation on evolution, the sincere student had ignored the set text books, the whole University Library et al, and quoted only from the Bible.

This friend was terrified that if he failed the paper (which really he HAD no 'intellectual' choice but to do), he would be sacked - the Uni being in an area of strong 'Religion', and what with Vice Chancellors leading public prayer meetings etc.
