MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[robvalue]

The thing that I really am interested in is how much people really believe, compared to their professed beliefs. Their actions often make it clear that on a fundamental level, their instincts do not believe it. But if their instincts matched their supposed beliefs, I would have no doubt in labelling that person mentally ill.

So... I don't know how to phrase it other than they are on a sliding scale between lying and mentally ill. I suppose you have to make allowance for the fact that they may not be aware they are lying. But what would you call that other than delusional/mentally ill?

I'm not trying to be mean here, but realistically I cannot see another way to describe what I see. Can anyone help me out?

I'm also not saying it's their fault, people can be driven to be mentally ill by the way people treat them.
