Who knows what "THE TRUTH" really is? there's been a billion teachers before us and will probably be a billion more after us.
To insinuate that some peope's understanding's or beliefs are "delusional" sort of implies that you know the truth and "they" do not. "In my opinion", the word "delusional" carries a negative slant that can be taken in offense, and though this is a very interesting topic to me, it seems to be on the verge of stepping outside the scope of why this forum is here in the first place.

I don't think Michael needs any help from me, however.......
I re-read the whole thread and it wasn't Michael who injected the thread with opinions about religion.
I would also like to input that I feel Michael was giving his opinion by calling it a delusion.
here is a book to read
called "God Delusion"

If you believe great, if not, great.
FYI, I take no side in this debate, as I am open to all (believer or not!)
