These are what the mysticism the Einstein Dingleberries hypnotized
themselves in **believing in**.  <shrug>

When given the truth, the Einstein Dingleberries still whining about
their mysticisms fed to them daily.  Oh, well.  Mysticism is only a
small part to the BS diet fed to Einstein Dingleberries where:

**       FAITH IS THEORY
**   MYSTICISM IS WISDOM
**   IGNORANCE IS KNOWLEDGE
**  PLAGIARISM IS CREATIVITY
**  CONJECTURE IS REALITY
**   BELIEVING IS LEARNING
**       LYING IS TEACHING
