I'm not sure that it would be fair to describe anyone as "escahatologically deluded". I get two definitions for "eschatological":

The doctrine of the last or final things, as death, judgment, and the events therewith connected.

The branch of theology that is concerned with such final things as death and judgment; heaven and hell; the end of the world.

Since nobody knows anything certain about these subjects, it would be unreasonable to dismiss anyone's ideas as delusion. Not, at least, until after the fact, at which point discussion of the subject will be rather difficult. I do hope that the fundamentalist eschatology is a delusion, but I would hesitate to pronounce it such with no tangible evidence in any direction.

Perhaps there was some confusion, and they meant to say "scatologically deluded".
