Wife asks do I look fat in these jeans

Husband says yes

Wife gets angry

Husband says you asked you want the truth

Wife gets angrier

Wife says you always do this you're always a jerk

Husband says you always do this you're a bitch

It escalates and escalates.

Then a friend shows up and sees the escalated conflict

The friend gets irritated that the husband and wife would do this in front of people and eventually attempts to bring in logic to bed the situation down.

The husband and wife want nothing of it. The wife points the finger at the husband for being wrong and the husband points the finger at the wife for being wrong.

Now, imagine they are both devoted Christians who view the Bible as greater than their own egos, and instead the same situation happens yet the friend brings out the Bible and explains the same logic through the lens of Jesus or Moses or a parable. Then the husband and wife filter that logic through the authority that is God (in their minds) instead of through the lens that is the natural homo sapien that naturally protects the ego.
