It's not a delusion. But speaking of Communism, how are you going to handle living under global Communism, if you should be around to witness it? Because I'm sure it will eventually happen.

I’m not terribly concerned, for two reasons:

1. I’m 52. I’ll be long dead before your fantasy of global Communism comes to pass, because - 

2. There is not now, nor has there ever been, an actual Communist state. Not one.

You don't think you might get reincarnated and forced to live in a Communist state, as punishment for your disbelief?

I do not. Reincarnation is one of those childish beliefs peculiar to people who aren’t mature enough to accept the idea of personal death.

Buddhists seem to accept the idea of personal death completely, and they still believe in reincarnation. But I see your point. I just hope reincarnation isn't real because if God is the one who decides what your next life will be, that's a scary thought because from all observable evidence, God wants people to suffer. Suffering once (in one lifetime) is bad enough, but then to be reincarnated and suffer in a different form, would be even worse.

If Buddhists accepted the idea of personal death, they wouldn’t believe in reincarnation. These are mutually exclusive positions.

If it’s any consolation to you, rest assured that reincarnation isn’t a thing.

I was going to disagree with you here, but with some searching, it seems the Buddhist has a wide range of traditions on of what is preserved during reincarnation or rebirth (not necessarily the same thing).

I'm immune to hugs. They don't feel good to me.

Maybe because you’ve never had one?

Seems to me there are several people around here who post nonsense just to get a rise out of people. 

Ahriman stands out because he's more efficient at it. More reaction with less effort.

I agree. Though I wouldn’t describe Ahriman as “efficient.” More like painfully overt.
