As mere mortals, we are all faulty and irrational beings...and we are prone to emotional reactions which violate even our most fundamental beliefs. Have you heard of the saying "Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die"? The pious believer has lived into his advanced years, and steadfastly believes that his little corner in the "heavenly life" is assured, due to his "saved" status. And yet, when a serious disease comes calling which threatens to hasten his departure to the Heavenly Kingdom...he quickly dashes off to the doctor, hoping that some medical treatment might delay the inescapable for at least a while longer.

As emotional, often irrational beings...when under emotional turmoil, we often act contrary to what we purport to believe.
