Irrational Beliefs Not Delusional?
An excerpt from the Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders states: Delusions are irrational beliefs, held with a high level of conviction, that are highly resistant to change even when the delusional person is exposed to forms of proof that contradict the belief.
...
Also, for beliefs to be considered delusional, the content or themes of the beliefs must be uncommon in the person's culture or religion.
So it's OK to have irrational beliefs as long as everyone in your group does too. WTF!
