How Can Religion Be Dangerous?
Debate Information
A few years ago in San Diego, a Lexus car crashed killing all four occupants.
The well-documented incident was attributed to a floor mat jamming under the accelerator pedal, apparently preventing the driver from stopping the vehicle until it ran out of highway and crashed dramatically at high speed. Toyota (the parent company) went into damage control and ended up making a financial settlement to the estate of the deceased family.
But what was the real cause of the accident?
The driver was an experienced highway patrolman however, the family involved was staunchly Christian. Despite one of the occupants dialing 911 to get assistance, nobody in the car had the presence of mind to know that simply placing the gear selector in neutral would have solved the problem and the car would be brought to a safe stop.
Other similar incidents involving Toyota and Lexus cars were reported however, the drivers safely stopped the car in each case.
The last words heard by the emergency services by the driver were, "hold on" and "pray,...."
Does this mean that the family's religion caused the occupants to throw away all reasoning and think that God was somehow going to save them?
