This is just as silly as the misguided souls who think God is telling them to blow up school buses and hijack airplanes.
Can't really argue against a person's religious beliefs though, if they believe one thing and won't change their mind, there's no point, who really knows who's right anyway?
The soldiers in Iraq died because they were doing their duty & trying to help people & make the world a safer place. This woman died because some old git a thousand years ago said it was a good idea to follow some bs rules. I guess it really rests on whether you're religious or not.
