I try that but it's frustrating when they can't see how the two are similar. I think it's because they are so used to their own fantasies that it feels normal to them.
I suppose I should ask how their beliefs are different from what I am comparing it to.
Yeah... I wonder how much of it has to do with upbringing. I've always been fascinated about how children are taught how to distinguish reality from fantasy while being religiously indoctrinated, and I concluded the latter has to start first, if the former even happens at all. We seem to be left with a lot of adults who are seriously out of touch with reality (or perhaps just feel they have to keep saying these things, even though they know much of it is nonsense).
