This is a question that I would like the more religious inclined members on this forum to answer:
'If a loved one, or even just a stranger got knocked over by a car/bus in front of you, what would you do first? Pray? or phone 999/911?'
(Theoretically, a religious person should choose to pray first, as their belief in God is supposed to be more powerful than their trust in science (which is evident from reading this forum)).
Please give a honest answer and your reason why.
Hard to say having not been in the situation, but I'll try to get my reactions listed in the most likely order.
Run to them
check how badly injured they are
dial 911
slap myself
dial 999
get help
beat the **** out of the driver
stay with my loved one in hospital
pray/wish/conjure or whatever other outlet I need
Prayer is largely for emotional support. Actions get things done.
