Hardly, I'm not using "delusional" as a reactionary tactic. I'm using it because it is the truth in relation to theists.
Perhaps you're the one who's mind is in grade school by using that illogical analogy.
There can be truths that you can learn to phrase differently or in a more productive way.
For instance, if a person is being a retarded asshole, simply calling them that (even though it is true) is unlikely to cause the change in behavior I'm looking for, and will probably actually cause them to double down.
Don't attack. Discuss.
