有很多人并不真正相信上帝，而是想相信他，并说他们做到了。有人说，这些人是愚蠢的，他们是虚伪的，但是MMA Ramotswe对此不太确定。如果某事或某人可以帮助您度过难关，过上良好和有目的的生活，那么如果那件事或那个人不存在，这很重要吗？她认为这一点并不是一点点。经过
(There were plenty of people who did not really believe in God, but who wanted to believe in him, and said that they did. Some people said that these people were foolish, that they were hypocritical, but Mma Ramotswe was not so sure about that. If something, or somebody, could help you to get through life, to lead a life that was good and purposeful, did it matter all that much if that thing or that person did not exist? She thought it did not-not in the slightest bit. BY)
