How do we know that Christians are Delusional?

Nothing like a cut and paste to provide the final words in an argument.

Another straw man

Not worth the match to set it afire.

. . .Nothing wrong with cut and paste. It supports my view. Show me the strawman.

You may have missed the most important quote of all:

Jesus said to Ananias: "Be on your way, because this man [Paul] is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel. For I shall show him plainly how many things he must suffer for my name." (Acts 9:13-16)

Jesus evidently saw desirable traits in Paul. There is no evidence in the Bible indicating that Jesus was ever dissatisfied with his choice of Paul.

That does not rule out the fact that many people find Paul disagreeable. Everyone can decide for himself which testimony is more relevant.

I think we have people today claiming the same thing, that Jesus came to them and told them this or that.

Absolutely. It definitely makes it trustworthy and convinces me, although I am sure to be in the minority.

And I have no problem with different viewpoints or opinions on the matter. The Bible can stand or fall as each person sees fit.

I agree 100%. Keeps people guessing. It's a deceitful world, isn't it? Makes it easy for most folks today to discredit and discount the Bible completely. See Colossians 2:8

I think that everyone should have the opportunity to vocally express where s/he stand on the matter. Don't leave any doubt in anyone's mind where you stand. Make it very clear.

When we have a dry-drunk who thinks they can communicate with god all the time is also scary; they think god told him to bring democracy to the middle east and the world. "He" keeps talking about success in a country that is so splintered, my backyard deck looks smooth.

And exactly how many Jehovah's witness members are there in the US?
