What would you suggest he picked for an impossible task to make the illustration then? And how precisely would he back that up?
I could eat a horse right now but you wouldn't expect me to eat a horse... because you understand what metaphors are right?
If it's impossible that's one thing. To say that this is because your faith is weak, and that it would be possible if you had the faith that's another thing.
And fr0d0, a delusion in it's broadest sense= a false belief. So if you admit to believing in the impossible you definitely admitting to delusion.
Impossible isn't just false as in probably false, or very likely to be false, or almost certainly false - impossible=definitely false. Belief in the impossible is belief in a delusion.
