How is this true?

de·lu·sion
dəˈlo͞oZHən/
noun
  1. an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.
    "the delusion of being watched"
    synonyms:misapprehension, misconception,misunderstanding, mistake, error,misinterpretation, misconstruction, misbelief; More
    • the action of deluding someone or the state of being deluded.
 
Would Jesus have to be generally accepted as reality to be true in your personal opinion?

Can we make an idol out of our own methods of determining what's true, even though its known to Christians that God resists the proud, and humbles the wisdom of this world?

The high lighted in red is why I do not go to most dictionaries these days, God, in reality, does nothing on a man made scale and the importation of Revisionist anything is the Great Error of the Laodician Church Age.

Is delusion the truth or imaginary?

In the case of scripture prophecy, it is imagined truth as opposed to real truth. i.e. The Lost are more and more certain that homosexuality is an acceptable life style in the eye of God... but that is a lie. They are deluded.

Atheists say God is a delusion. Is that truth, or imaginary?

And, if Atheists are the norm (normality) for a nation.... then how say ye?

God is real.All they have to do is pick up a Bible.One of Satan's lies,and there are many,is that God is imaginary.

But Kath, they are without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, making them Spiritually Blind. When I was lost I read the Bible, trying, on my own to understand but it was gibberish until the night the Spirit indwelt me. They must have salvation and they must not quench the Spirit after that, it can be daunting to learn these lessons.
 
What I am trying to say is that reality is only a function of not succumbing to delusion and when one succumbs to a delusion they fall victim to abnormality.

(Reality is just the absence of delusion)
