Don't be silly. According to Webster's Dictionary,

Definition of delusion

b psychology : a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary...

2 : the act of tricking or deceiving someone...
Muslims believe a false tale. They believe there is a supernatural creature called "Allah" who watches over them with great concern whether or not they are obedient and loyal enough to kill their own children at his command. If this belief were accurate, we would see evidence for such claims, such as evidence for such a creature. As it stands, there exists no such evidence, either objective or deductive. To teach children these tales are true is to teach children something that is false, that is, a delusion.

Catholics believe their priests carry with them some invisible link to the forgiving mercy of Christ. They believe that only priests, appropriately ordained, have the unworldly power to absolve a person of sin, reconcile them to the church community following contrition, marry people, and elect a new "vicar of Christ" (that is, a man who acts vicariously as Jesus Christ Almighty Himself, quite in opposition to the Scriptures that are a fundamental resource of the Christian faith). If this were reality we'd see evidence this magical processes at work, of popes acting as Christ. But we don't. We see evidence of priests and popes acting as men, perfectly aligned with the era and culture of their office. To maintain a Catholic faith is to maintain particular magical beliefs despite indisputable evidence to the contrary.

This is the very definition of "delusion," dear.

But what is more interesting is how you believe you're right and everyone else is wrong, but anyone else who makes the same claim is "stupid."

Here at Landover Baptist Church, we love our fellow man enough to know they are not stupid, they are simply deluded. They've been brainwashed, generally since infancy, to adopt a particular cultural belief system, articulated through a specific religious vocabulary. They're not "stupid," dear, and no one here thinks they are. But they are wrong, and Christ will watch them suffer for all eternity if they continue their path to perdition. We want to help. We want to help you, too.


Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.
