Tell yourself that.
Wasn't it Bill Hicks, btw, that noticed how creationists keep looking unevolved, with eyes very close together &stuff?
- God created me on the sixth day!
- Yeah, looks like He rushed it.

Turn off Mommy's computer
I turn off
my computer every time I go to Africa. Or other places for that matter. The people I meet there, tend to have brains like the rest of us...
...however also a culture where education has to translate into a job in less than 5 seconds or else be deemed useless. In no small part because they don't have the money to spend years milling around uselessly daydreaming. Hence business ideas have to be simple to explain, and research goals so short-stepped they're practically begging for the richer parts of the world to bypass them before results can start to show up.
And so they don't usually have the education needed to know what a cargo cult is, much less recognise the forms of Christianity thus outright perversely prevalent, as precisely that.
FYI: When people start resorting to blind faith that
their particular superstition will bring cash and good luck, they usually don't look that hard any more for inventive solutions or intelligent inventions not first used by just about everyone else. "No need for me to help myself; I'll just keep my faith strong, and massa up there will help me".
Which is the main reason I'd rather not talk to burning bushes. You don't get all that many intelligent answers from them.
