Just a guess Coco...
Henny Penny has fewer eggs in her basket than she thought.
Martha gave me and Ben a glance that could kill.
The result of too many personal indulgences is sloth.

Can anyone explain love?
by mrhhome inwe have had a variety of theist vs atheist debates on this forum.
usually, it devolves (or evolves?
) into a debate on what can or cannot be proven.. so let's step back a second.

Phizzy Said this......And I am afraid I disagree
by KateWild ini still find it strange that believers cannot get it in to their heads that atheism is not a belief, but theism is.
there cannot possibly be proof "for" the atheistic position as it is simply a position that says i see no proof for a god.. if someone says there are pink unicorns with purple spots and i say i have never seen any proof of their existence, i cannot offer proof of my "position", the onus is 100% upon the spotted unicorn guy to prove their existence to me.
simple.. where the frustration enters in for us non-unicornists is when the unicornists expect us to listen to inane arguments , non facts and plain nonsesnse and then go along with their delusion.

Cofty: A perfect example of a superstitious delusion, and of the way faith is the enemy of the pursuit of knowledge.
Just your opinion Cofty.

This part stood out to me in your quote Adamah:-
Delusions typically occur in the context of neurological or mental illness....

Laika- What about 'I am willing to accept that I may be deluded, but I don't think I am'
No... because that would mean I would be willing to accept that I am mentally ill. And I'm not!

Simon.. I know crystal shapes are caused by their molecular structure. They are caused by natural processes and I'm not refuting that. It still doesn't alter the evidence in my eyes. I don't believe each individual tree was created, no. I do believe that someone created the 'foundation' blocks at a microscopic level and set the process off. As much as people talk about diseases and things going wrong in nature, I see far more going right. What about all the incredible symbiosis there is. I see disease as a process gone wrong. Bacteria and viruses can have beneficial effects in the right environment. Taken out of the right environment they can cause havoc.
I think the point is not whether one believes God exists or not, whether things evolved or not. It is whether one is 'deluded' or not. I agree that I am a person of faith but I do NOT agree for one minute that I am deluded. If anyone wants to believe I am then that's completely up to them.

Delusion is not at all like faith.
Merriam Webster: delusion- a false idea or belief that is caused by mental illness
full definition: a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary;
Calling someone 'deluded' is not the same as calling someone a 'person of faith'.
