I think it would be difficult to maintain the accuracy of that statement through even a handful of examples. It's more likely that you think that believing some things is delusional. Which is, ofc, fine, and there's no need to argue over whether or not they are - but, what I've been asking about, are the things people believe or might believe that don't fall into that category. The example of the sacred tree doesn't seem to be delusional on it's own grounds, you felt compelled to add things to it that you considered to be delusional. We can assume that ghosts and goblins and all that is delusional, even if only for the purpose of conversation - but what..if anything... makes the notion of the sacred delusional?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
