Quote:But even the "non medical" definition of delusion doesnt fit, and says it is typically a mental illness.Yes it does and typically is just that typically
Quote:Maybe some of the people here who call me delusional don't mean it in a medical sense, but it still has a demeaning connotation due to its association with mental disorder. And they know that. Otherwise they would just say I'm wrong or mistakenNo it's not it's simply describing the condition and that's your opinion of the term we should use not a necessary term we should use .
Quote:...It also says it is typically a symptom of mental illness. And that it is "maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument." By believing in God, you are not contradicting what is generally accepted as reality.Yes you are
Quote:I think it is dishonest for you to say that people calling me delusional is the same as being told I am mistaken, have a misconception, or have a misunderstanding.What you think is about it is irrelevant that's what they mean when they say it .
Quote:I don't mind being told by people that they think I am mistaken. It is when I'm being told I'm delusional, particularly by people who themselves have a mental illness while I don't, that upsets me.Yeah no
