Well, you seem to spend all your time on this forum, so how good can it be?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Do you also know that you are posting on a forum where several people think you are a blithering idiot? If not, you haven't been paying attention.
The thing is that it doesn't really register enough with him to care. His magical fantasy world is all that really counts for him. And that is unlikely to change no matter what is said. Negative real life consequences might change the fantasy for awhile, but once the consequence has passed he'll revert and the cycle will repeat.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
