. . . or blessings from people you consider to be delusional:

Do they trouble you?

Is there proper etiquette for dealing with such gestures or blessings?

Do they have a positive influence on you, even if your mirror neurons and cosmoconception tell you that the other person is crazytoons?

Does kindly intent have its own influence that cannot be described by mathematics or physics?

I wouldn't describe 'believers' as delusional. 'Incorrect', certainly.

Kindly gestures (as you describe them) are harmless and don't trouble me in the least. They come from a good place.

I think "differently believing" might be better than "incorrect".

TBH, it's strange that you should respond in this way, defensively and challengingly.

I'm not trying to troll you, and not trying to lay any expectations on you, but I imagine that sometime in your life before you croak you might learn how to be kind rather than snippy because of your personal experiences.

No, I'll still with incorrect.

It was surprising to find out that Suzianne might have thought I was calling her a lunatic.

Don't pull this Sealioning crap on me. Please provide links where I mentioned "gods" without paraphrasing or summarizing or putting your own spin on it, and let people judge for themselves based on what I actually wrote.

You post this thread in the SF and your OP speaks of blessings and delusions and lump believers in gods (people who give blessings) alongside lunatics.

Did you not?

Revisit the title of your thread and your OP.

I am baffled by your surprise.

I suspect you are also easily baffled by waffles.
