Hold on, isn't this basically the plot of Men In Black?

I wonder what a religionist would do if they took their child to a doctor as the child was very ill and the doctor turned them away and told them to pray to their god to heal the child.?
I am thinking that in this instance they would not be that keen on prayer and the healing power of their chosen god. |

My stance on it right now is that, basically, I think that (as irrational as I find religion) religious belief is a part of the rational mind; it's learned, consciously fully believed, even subconsciously very deeply embedded. But when it comes right down to a kick in the guts like losing someone, instinct kicks in and leaves the person devastated. On that most basic level, they "know" that that person is just gone. As that initial pain fades and the grieving process progresses they later start to reintroduce the idea that they will "see them again, one day". |

It's an interesting concept for the "inheritance" of early religion, at least. |

I think religion came about due to a lack of knowledge.People even before the ancient Egyptians worshiped the sun,moon and stars because they had no clue what they were and they are so spectacular.I think the theories of all powerful beings and creators came later and then even later the concept of an afterlife evolved due to the 'wishful thinking' part.This has gradually transfered over to the newer religions such as Christianity,Judaism and Islam.Various ideas in the newer religions are taken straight from the ancient ones.
