   For others the Bible or Qur'an or Bhagavad Gita are the drugs of   
   choice, or any silly old book will do.

   Too bad they can't just grow up and put all that childishness behind   
   them, but foolish religious fables are the only way for them to   
   pretend that they understand "how things work."   
      
      
   Sorry -   
   They don't pretend to know how things work.   
      
   The merely invent a god (who works in mysterious ways), and say "he did it",   
   instead of actually thinking or learning.
