Default Online Poker Explains Religion

We see on this forum and all others many conspiracy threads about Random Number Generators (RNGs). Their supporters argue that the patterns they see are clearly not random, and therefore must be being controlled by a higher controlling power who fixes the cards for whatever reason.

Intelligent poker players realise this is incredible likely to be total nonsense, and continue to beat the game, while scientifically recording their observations and finding no results that require this higher power. I would guess that all readers of this post consider themselves to fall into that category, and rightly so.

This shows the need of some humans to find patterns in random occurences and believe that everything is somehow controlled by somebody. I think it should be clear to open minded intelligent people that this is the most likely explanation of the origin of religion.

The strange thing is that there will be religious people who are completely rational regarding the RNG conspiracy.

Does anyone have a convincing distinction between the two, because I currently think they are perfectly analagous and am yet to find anyone who can say anything to contradict it.
