The "time of stress" would be the cause of the delusion, I think. You have put your finger on it.

Or the cause of the misconstruing of events.

This would also be a delusion.

FMF has been keen to stress that we are only discussing delusion in the every day sense (whatever that is).

Get with the programme.

Not at all. I am using the word "delusion" correctly in its everyday sense.

That a belief is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary is key.

Throwing delusion about like a custard tart only validates the point I have been making.

No. I don't agree. Stuff about "indisputable evidence" is an add-on that you are free to subscribe to, if it suits your purpose.

They also forgo the terror of having to meet God if they have strayed.

It isn't being "thrown around like a custard tart", but I see what you're trying to do by claiming it is.

Then you'd be wrong.
