@ghost-of-a-duke saidSuch is the cause and nature of a delusion, I think.
I think you are incorrect to believe such things. I think it is born from a desire to have answers to all the big questions of where we came from, to make the world a less scary place.

@divegeester saidIt would raise more alarm bells I suspect that somebody following the beliefs of an established religion.
Do you think a sincere belief in fairies at the bottom of one’s garden is delusional?

@divegeester saidGhost of a Duke?
Would you like to see the screen grab of the ludicrous explanation Suzianne gave of how the post was made by someone else during a physical struggle by her and a house guest to regain control of her laptop and how her thumb pressed a key and the post was made?
Fourth time of asking if you would like to see it.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidSo there ARE levels of delusion?

You seemed to be claiming there aren't a while ago when it suited you to deny it.

@divegeester saidIt probably deserves a place in the OP of a new thread.
I’m happy with what I said and stand by it. You are free to interpret it any way you chose if you feel it helps you.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIt would stop you from another claim of “I didn’t see it” and enable you to address the point.
Would it add anything new?
Would you like to see it, yes or no?

@divegeester saidBelief in fairies etc would be a much more unusual belief than those held by followers of Christianity etc. I would have a lot of questions to ascertain the basis for the belief.
Is that a yes or a no?

I noticed you dropped reference to the motor cycle thing where evidence is immediately available to club members that you were talking nonsense.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat someone has a reason for believing something that is not true is not a litmus test for ruling out the conclusion that they are deluded. You have riffed on this previously on the other thread. I think the 'honesty' factor doesn't make the point you seem to think it does.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAnother admission - inadvertent? - that you do think in terms of there being different levels of delusion.
