I’m not giving you my particular interpretation, only sharing why the “good book” is used as an instruction manual by those who do so.
Also, the Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit gives them infallible wisdom from God, so that they have spiritual discernment and knowledge.
(the magic bird imparts no such wisdom)
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. ~1 Corinthians 2:12-17
