I need to take a break from this site. Can only take so much of people talking down to me when I treat everyone with respect and consideration. It's tiring and gets old. Jor calling me stupid and saying she's laughing at me, and then multiple people insisting on calling me delusional after I already expressed that I don't like being called that.
Let's put it this way. Suppose someone says they believe that there are gnomes and unicorns in their garden. Those gnomes and unicorns are invisible, but they help the garden to grow. In fact, the garden wouldn't grow at all unless those gnomes and unicorns were there. Then, they point out that those gnomes and unicorns must actually exist because the garden does, in fact, grow.
Wouldn't you consider this person to be delusional?
I see theism as absolutely equivalent.
I'd add that the person involved might be the nicest, fairest, kindest person around. They may be otherwise unremarkable (or even remarkable). But on that one point, they are delusional. Not just mistaken, mind you.
