Reply #15: Another example of extending religious beliefs to an extreme.

[MineralMan]

There are many instances of such things. Most people are able to recognize that the things that religion teaches are only applicable to a certain degree. A few are not able. The teachings remain the same. When people take religious beliefs to their logical conclusion and act on them, we call those people mentally ill. They may well be, but their logic is sound and based on the very teachings of whatever religious doctrine on which they're basing their actions.

If you accept the premises that God can raise the dead and that it is possible to ask God to do things, the logical extension is that you can ask God to raise someone from the dead. There's no logic flaw in this.
