Okay lets say that a person has a terminal illness and the praying to God(whoever they perceive God to be)provides them with a sense of comfort, is that wrong? They are probably well aware that there is no coming back from a terminal illness so you would deny someone this comfort simply because you do not believe in what they are doing? Everyone has a right to choose how they meet their end same as you. I'm sure the morphine helps - physically but what about their mental state? That's important too. Its not your way but it is the way of others. I see nothing wrong with taking drugs prescribed to relieve the pain, in fact the two can go hand in hand, the belief in something does not mean you are required to stop using your brain or commonsense. That's what I mean when I spoke about perception. People's PERCEPTION of what they THINK God is or isn't is what I think dictates whether they believe or not.
