This reminds me of that sect that believed that you could exist on fresh air alone. I forget their name now. Anyway, after a few weeks of only drinking water and getting nourishment from fresh air, they just about perfected it and then died.

As for this case. If you believe in an almighty and pray to him to intercede on your behalf, then it makes perfect sense. It also helps that it removes these looney tunes from the gene pool. Sad, but there we are.
