< I was talking about JC and me, and we aren't amoebas, of course, and 'delusion' is a human concept, just as 'belief' is, and although an ant could enter an ant trap in search of eats, the ant's consequent death is probably not because he or she was 'delusional.' > Now we're getting somewhere. You mentioned that you were an atheist, and yet, I don't see any arguments to suggest that a God can or cannot exist independently of what you or I think (or communicate in anthropic terms) or what an ant eats.
