If I had to choose between the one actively participating on the ground, and the one who sits back watching edited videos with music for dramatic effect, I'm inclined to pick the one watching videos as most likely to be deluded. Wouldn't you agree?
I mentioned the availability heuristic earlier. I think we now know the cause of that—documentaries. They are availability factories. They search for the most salient moments, the loudest speakers, the most persuasive angles, and present them on a platter for you. They distort reality in such a way that you'd be better off considering them only as entertainment.
I better let professionals participate like UNICEF, Doctors without Borders, World Food Program, etc. help who needs help and not let Christians force their religion and bigotry down their throat so that they start killing each other, as they do now. Christians are not helping.
And yes you are deluded because you don't even want to acknowledge what they are doing but blame me for showing it here because all you care about is your religion and not people.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
