Because I have an open mind and want to hear others views. How many are on yours? No idea, but you just sent me PM stating that I am on your ignore list. Good for you. Continue sticking your fingers in your ears and bowing before the sky fairy. Heaven forfend that anyone else might have a different opinion or that you could even vaguely defend your own.

Why would you want to have a discussion with someone you consider delusional? Why should I continue to discuss theism with someone who considers me delusional? At the rate Neo's going, he'll only be able to converse with his fellow delusional theists.
Yeah, guys your arguments are becoming too good for neo-scholastic that he feels his religion chirping away when he reads them so he has to ignore you to preserve his faith.
It's like that scene from "Back To The Future" when Marty checks on his family photo and sees himself and siblings fading away, that's exactly how it is with neo-scholastic and Jesus when he reads your posts.
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"

What do you mean by a mathematical object? That's a term of art, and it's not clear what your question is. RE: When is a Religious Belief Delusional?

If you are claiming that deities only exist in the same way, you might be able to avoid the delusion label...Platonism was the first major philosophical mistake. I think that the answer is that morality is subjective until you call someone by the wrong pronoun, or refuse to bake a cake. And testimony is not evidence, until a rather shady character, testified under pressure against a president that you don’t like.

Is it or is it not delusional to be a Platonist and/or believe in intellectual objects such as 'The Good'? YES or NO? Morality is subjective. That doesn’t mean some subjective morality can’t through the mechanism adopted by a society to regulate itself be imposed also upon those who disagree. Think of it this way, even though our morality is technically subjective, if you behave in some ways that you might think is not inconsistent with its being subjective, we will hang you. Got it? Testimony doesn’t convince me jesus rose again, because there is no evidence other than those testimonies that any such thing is possible at all, much less such a thing instantiated a particular occurance on that occassion. Testimony doe convince me sufficiently trump is criminal during his election Champaign because there is ample evidence besides those testimony that such a thing is possible, and ample evidence the particular criminal trump imstantiated similar occurances of criminal behavior.

The world is not always black or white. It depends on how you apply the word delusional. Many have already indicated they don't think it works here but there is ample room for disagreement. While I would answer "not necessarily", I do worry that your concept of what a concept is is deficient. Quote:I think that the answer is that morality is subjective until you call someone by the wrong pronoun, or refuse to bake a cake.
