Owens and Walsh tackled popular BS leftist narratives brilliantly in their respective films. Then they go take a turn in the punch bowl by singing about their non-existent bearded sky fairy.
Delusion should be called out across the board.
What's the alternative?
shareFor grown adults to acknowledge that the bearded sky genie was just another fairytale?
shareWhat about society as a whole?
Fairy tales has a purpose.

Sure. I'm fine with schools cherry picking the Bible, making the nice bits part of the curriculum... then telling everyone god is imaginary before they hit high school.
As I said, I'm not big on delusion, whether it lives on the left or right.
Delusion as in the bearded sky genie? Are forces of nature (higher power) imaginary? Fairy tales are stories/advice/knowledge passed down from generation to generation on what works/doesn't work.
shareWhat about people who think that you are the one living in the delusion? Should they call you out?
shareThose guys are the one asserting the existence of something (beardy sky fairy). The onus is on them to provide compelling evidence of this strange, floaty fella.
shareThat's not what I asked. They are asserting the existence of something, and you are asserting that they are wrong. For people who believe that you are the one living in the delusion, should they call you out?
shareSo if someone tells me there's a bunch of invisible pigs floating above me, and I refuse to believe it, I'M delusional? That's not how burden of proof works. You know this.
shareYou keep shifting away from the question about whether others should call you out if they think you are delusional. You have your own reasons as to why you think Matt Walsh and Candace Owens are "delusional", and many others may think the same about you. My question isn't about the veracity of your views or their views; rather, it is about whether any person may be called out if others think he is delusional.
shareYou aren't making sense. You can use all the mocking terms you want, but when it comes down to it, you're just as delusional to them as they are to you. You can't disprove what they believe anymore than they can prove it. They believe, you don't. This is utterly different than the sort of narratives she dismisses, as she does so in a factual manner. She calls out those who say provably false things.
shareYup, their claims are unfalsifiable. Like with Santa Claus. The tooth fairy. The flying spaghetti monster. The various ghouls and ghosties who will allegedly be out in full force tomorrow night, for Halloween.
shareExcept no one takes those other things seriously. Whether or not you believe in some higher power/creator/god/whatever doesn't mean they don't. It's a matter of faith, which is completely different than an argument on, say, the history of the slave trade.
