Why do you believe that God is a delusion? By your reasoning tell me why all of Creation is not a delusion and God the only reality. You think you're real and God is not? Get a grip, man.
Best.

Though question. With so many religious beliefs, every religion thinks the other religions is a delusion. More so to an aetheist, all religion including "God" is a delusion.
If you believe in LOVE, God is actually not that far.
When you have a loved one that is dying, or if you have a sick child you love so much, or if your kids are hungry but have nothing to eat. That's the time people need to think that there is a God.
If you are born rich, if you are healthy, if you have all the food you want you might think God is the opium of the masses, not for you. You might think God is a delusion.
If beside all you prayers that loved one still died, or your kid didn't get any better, or your stomach is still empty. You might think God is a delusion.
Actually God loves his creation so much that he let people who doubt him LIVE. We humans need only to LOVE. Help other people, feed the hungry, cloth the naked, give shelter to those who have none, so that other people can see the face of God through us. And people who have lots to give will realize how blessed are they for God gave them the capacity to help.
God is Love. We only need to love and be loved to see God.
God is not religion.
One day I was courting my girlfriend while walking along a beach. I'm catholic, she's protestant. She told me if ever she said yes will I convert to Protestanism? Because she will not convert to catholisism. I prayed to God for an answer. The answer was quite simple.
I told her, "If we die, God will not ask what our religions are. God will ask us how did we loved!"

Did someone tell you that? Every person who believes that there is a God has their own perception of what that means to them. Nobody can say God is a delusion for anyone but themselves.

Have you read the Bible!? The book should be a hint as to why God is a delusion. Not only is it completely contradictory, it has talking donkeys, talking snakes, a man who walks on water. All of this without even a hint that he really exists.

Delusion is the common state of human conceptual mind. Mind detracts from this by projecting "it's" delusion on God!

I think this is a personal subject that you need to read up on rather than have a quick reply about.
The notion of a god is a personal belief thing with no proof either way (look up phillosophy 'false truths'). You can't win or lose an argument about a god because of it and is ultimately a daft question.
Have you actually read Dawkins yet or are you looking for an excuse to?

What a troll, and the rest of you are falling for it. He just wants to cause an argument so someone will talk to him. What a loser....
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.
Attributing intent to trolls is a very difficult issue since by its very nature to call someone a troll is to already assume an intent, that they are posting only to cause problems. So once a person is called a troll they have already been categorized by the speaker as someone with a certain intention.
Many people call others trolls, few call themselves trolls, so a troll is not a self-constructed identity but rather is a category constructed via the speech act of calling someone a troll. Perhaps the more interesting question is the motivation for labeling others as trolls. Individuals so labeled find it offensive. Useful advice for dealing with someone considered to be a troll is, rather than using that term, to ask them questions such as: "What is your intent?" or other questions relevant to the discussion rather than using the ad hominem label "troll."
Trolls can be existing members of a community that rarely post and often contribute no useful information to the thread, but instead make argumentative posts in an attempt to discredit another person, concentrating almost exclusively on facts irrelevant to the point of the conversation, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others. The key element under attack by a troll is known only to the troll.
A person who retaliates (using whatever means) as a result of a misunderstanding (or as a way of rebelling against the overzealous application of rules) is not a troll.[7] A troll is a person who approaches a board with the specific intention of stirring things up, either as a goal in and of itself or as a means of attacking the board perhaps motivated by opposition to the ethos of the board. For example, a neo-Nazi approaching a Jewish forum with the intention of attacking the members, purely because the neo-Nazi knows the forum to contain Jewish members, will be considered a troll.
The general element, that determines whether a malicious user is a troll or not, is the level of indignant emotions present in the person, coupled with the person's history with the forum or group. An indignant user who has had a previous normal relationship with the group is not a troll, even if the user uses methods of attack that are characteristic of a troll attack.
A troll's main goal is usually to arouse anger and frustration among the message board's other participants, and will write whatever it takes to achieve this end. One popular trolling strategy is the practice of Winning by Losing. While the victim is trying to put forward solid and convincing facts to prove his position, the troll's only goal is to infuriate its prey. The troll takes (what it knows to be) a badly flawed, wholly illogical argument, and then vigorously defends it while mocking and insulting its prey. The troll looks like a complete fool, but this is all part of the plan. The victim becomes noticeably angry by trying to repeatedly explain the flaws of the troll's argument. Provoking this anger was the troll's one and only goal from the very beginning.
What a troll.

It's not a delusion, it's an illusion. However a lot of folks become delusional in the fervor of their manner of the way they display their belief. I accept every ones beliefs as long as they are harmless.
