Personally I feel like I have sufficient evidence for my faith, but that doesn't mean I believe in everything I hear. So I don't see how an outsider could conclude that I'm delusional.
The same way that a psychologist deems someone, who has subjective evidence for his faith in killing other people, as delusional.
Subjective, personal faith is not a safeguard against delusion.
I didn't say it was a safeguard against delusion. I said i cant see how you can consider it an automatic indicator of a delusional person, when most of you admit that it is *possible* that there may be a god(s), there just hasn't been sufficient evidence to convince you. Obviously someone who kills people is not right in the head to begin with. But i dont see how it makes sense for you to say that being a theist, in and of itself, is an indicator of a delusional person when you admit there is possibility they could be right.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
