Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

"Existential belief/claim in delusion with no evidence or basis in reality; A tool for the rich to exploit and sedate the masses." That's what I hope to change the definition to when people wake up. Obviously since definitions are descriptive and not prescriptive that isn't what it is now. "An organized supernatural belief in a god/gods in regard to the creation of the universe." Is what I would assume more fits how people use the word today. Even then I feel that excludes delusions such as Buddhism or individual 'spiritual' delusions.

Skip to your proselytizing, what delusion are you Pascal's wagering your life on?

Right, everyone who disagrees with you is a delusional sky-fairy worshipper. I'm not religious, dude. I'm also not suffering from religious trauma. Clean your shit up.

Clearly you CANNOT define what religion even is. But boy do you ever have strong opinions about something YOU CANNOT EVEN DEFINE. Your damage is just flowing out from every sentence. Your rage cannot change the world, but once you fix yourself, you can start to try.
