Indeed.
Yet if a Theist claims that 'god' spoke to them, we are expected to afford that individual credibility.
I recently watched a Theist vs Atheist debate on YouTube. It was some sort of televised show from the BBC1. On it, there was one fella (Taiwanese or Singaporean IIRC) who claimed that while in prison, god spoke to him. He was adamant that the conversation was vocal and that it was just as normal and clear as any open conversation between two people. And god apparently spoke in English!
Now under the medical definition for a delusion, we are suppose to assume that this guy was mentally fit!?!
Are we expected to give credibility? Can't say I've ever found that to be the case.
