They do that to keep from having to think about who their true master is:
““where a piece of the wreckage fell,”
Oh, good.
They’re gonna bulid another shrine and worship it as “god” just like that stupid, pathetic piece of space debris in Mecca.
If this wasn’t so offensive and agregious, I’d laugh.
It’s like the movie “The Gods Must Be Crazy” where a “cargo cult” forms around an empty Coke bottle dropped from a plane.
