I personally believe that such delusion is detrimental to others. I think that Richard Dawkins and others have made a fairly good case in that regard.

If I found another religion that would result in you leading an even happier life (and I could convince you of such) would you willingly delude yourself into believing in it? If not, then why not?

I said no better life.

Nice try. The delusion is yours. I can't imagine any better life to have lived except that for Jesus - Who incidently is a reality.

Richard Dawkins verses Jesus Christ ?

I think you're the one who needs professional help.
