FYI: "mores", not "morays"
And you're being generous. If a person who was NOT religious had an imaginary friend would you be so kind?
Thanks for the correction, spellifying ain't my thing. I saw that but it just didn't look write.
Society says not insane. Imaginary friend, healing crystals, humans reincarnated in pets, alien contact .............. I'm sure you can think of others. Quirky or delusional - yes, insane - no.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
