I think not. One problem is that you think you can just say I have poor reading comprehension (thanks for the insult) and everyone will simply believe you. However, I not only have average or better reading comprehension, but the ability to copy and paste posts six and 18 for your perusal.
Post six:
Post 18:
So maat, please tell me and our gentle readers where a poster said atheists are delusional? In case you don't understand why part of post 18 is italicized, it is an atheist quoting a Jehovah Witness writing.
Sorry. You need to do your homework.
You asked me if ANYONE called atheists delusional. I responded in post 18 with things I have been called on and off this board and for some reason you disqualified it. I provided links showing it. That's all.

maat claimed that people in this thread called atheists delusional. You certainly did not. You did quote the JWs as saying so. That's different than you saying atheists are delusional in your quote.
I'm not sure I understand. To me this is only restating what I asked about. So, what do you mean by "tending to the nourishment and well being of our spirit". What's the process and the goal? I'm not sure what you mean by nourishment.
This is what nourish means
nour·ish
verb
provide with the substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition.
It means that nourishing our spirit has a positive effect on our health and well being. And lack of nourishment for our spirit negatively impacts our health and well being.
The process is to nourish our spirit. The goal and result is improved well being.
The medical profession and hospitals recognize this. That's why it is included and routinely addressed as part of a patient's treatment plan.

Here is an example of "lack of nourishment" from this thread. Someone said people in hospitals are helpless (post 36). That sounds like people can not be helped, that no one can give help or receive help, that they are beyond help. That causes harm when we tell others that and when we tell ourselves that. It is a grim cruel dark sad example of withholding nourishment and comfort.
Whether it is a good placebo or not, believing irrationally is delusional. The fact that most of the world does it does not make it any less delusional. The fact that there is no one defining placebo, attest to its delusion.
I don't have a problem with God believers practicing irrational faith for the placebo affect. What bothers me is when they ignorantly claim I'm the delusional one while thinking rationally.
Nice try. Post 6 says nothing of the sort. Post 18 is by a fellow atheist claiming the victim card. Why did you make things up? What is nice is anyone can read posts 6 and 18 and see you are making things up. Why? I asked for proof, yet you can up empty.
You're splitting hairs. The point was simple: atheists are often considered to be delusional by some of the more devout believers. Example: "look at the design of a butterfly wing, atheists are clearly delusional to deny God's creation."
Maybe you personally don't call atheists "delusional" to their face, but others do.

Yep. Delusional, lost, blind. Those are some of the nicer terms, I suppose. There's also wicked, God-haters, enemies, and, of course, hell-bound.

What substance are you proposing? I'm not sure that you've provided the process of nourishing our spirit, you seem to have only provided the goal. What is included in this?
