Is Believing in God a Delusion?

The Barak Lurie Show - Is Believing in God a Delusion?

Today, you hear a lot about people claiming that believing in God is a delusion. Let's talk about delusions, first of all, and see whether or not they're actually healthy.

If you had a friend who said that she was the Queen of England, and she's not the Queen of England, you would say, that's not very healthy for you. Bad things are going to happen to her in terms of not being able to work -- in terms of not being able to have relationships. It's unhealthy.

Yet people call believing in God a delusion. But this particular delusion is an interesting one. Isn't it? Because it turns out that by believing a God, a great number of wonderful things happen. You have a sense of purpose. You have a stronger family. You're less engaged in the issues of worry and fear. You are not obsessed with drugs or alcohol. It’s far more likely that you won't engage in crime.

A lot of positive things flow from a belief, a sincere belief, in God. These are healthy things.

So I put it to you, perhaps NOT believing in God is the real delusion.
