Reply #17: Religion specifically has to do with unreality.

Its entire basis is a belief in supernatural entities that are all-powerful and capable of doing miracles. Where is the logic flaw in this person's asking his deity to restore life to his beloved. There's a story in the Bible where that worked just fine. When Jesus was asked the bring a dead person back to life, he reportedly did just that. In fact, in the story, the dead person "already stinketh." See John 11 for the story. What this person did was in keeping with Biblical teaching.

Don't blame people for believing what they are taught.
