A person who believes that Jeff Francoeur is better than Nick Swisher is (I believe) in error.  A person who believes that Jeff Francoeur is a poached egg is delusional.  
"Delusional" is primarily a psychiatric term.  It carries the idea that a person will not give up an idea that 99.99% of people can see is incorrect.
It is a misuse of the term "delusional" to accuse 90% of America of being "delusional," leaving our 10% as the "Brights".  This attitude toward others leads to conflict and hatred.

LR, you go beyond believing your own beliefs to be correct:  you consider those truly different from you to be fundamentally inferior to you.  This is the definition of intolerance.  You are spending all your efforts trying to position yourself to laugh at, not debate, those different from you.  That's why you're so interested in arguing about the definition of "delusional."
If you consider there to be no interesting evidence in favor of God's existence, and no interesting evidence in favor of Christ's messiahship, you have not read the literature.
I (Jeff Clarke) have no psychiatric problems.  I was an unbeliever, and I was reluctantly persuaded by the weight of the evidence.
