It says so in our Holy Book.
The Holy Book is the Word of God.
Therefore God told us to do it.

Also... God exists because our Holy Book says so.
Since the Holy Book is the Word of God, it cannot be wrong

But your Holy Book is missing a comma, compared to my Holy Book.
Thus (and therefore), your Holy Book is an abomination in the sight of 
the God of my Holy Book (which is THE WORD of GOD).
So it is behind the bike sheds for us. Pal.

Gentlemen, please. Bikes are not in the holy book. Find another place to 
settle your dispute. Hint: England is not in the book either.

I know that you are a Nederlander and bikes rate high in the lowlands.

P.S. Bike sheds have a sacred place in the heart of every British 
schoolboy. (Of a certain type.)

Except, of course, in the US if you hear voices, you tend to be thought 
of as being nuts.

Now we need a non-tautological way of answering the question.  The legal 
system here in the US tends to frown on tautology as justification.
