Subject: RE: BS: It's not delusional if it's religious?
You may be right, Wesley, but we haven't gotten there yet with this one!

No, just kidding. Of course there is a difference between people who believe in reality and have faith in deity, and those who believe that deity can contradict reality. I have always held that my issues are with the latter, not the former.

My issue with this particular article is that they are actually arguing in a 21st century court of law that because her delusion (and nobody is saying that the belief that the kid would come back to life wasn't delusional in actual point of fact) was shared, it wasn't delusional in actual point of LAW. That is scary.
