You think so….I find people to be passionate about lots of other things.

I believe you when you say you have a theology degree.

I don’t believe you when you say you undertook it because that (and politics) are the the only topics people are passionate about.

However, I’m not saying that you are a pathological liar. One of the differences between you and Suzianne which I can see.

It's not a great mystery. I did religious studies at A level and enjoyed the discussions had between theists and non theists. (And between people of different faiths). People tend to speak more passionately about things that really matter to them (be that religion or politics). It led me to go on to study it at degree level.

Did you take any advice on the choice, from your parents for example?

You think expressing what we believe to be true is a delusion?
Isn't believing it is true simply part of its dellusional nature?

Not really, and only had one meeting with a career adviser. (A computer print out said I should go into graphic design). With the power of hindsight, I should have studied something more work relevant. (Although at the time I was set on going into teaching).

People also believe things to be true that are true.

That's the danger when you claim to have a vivid recollection of something. An exposed error brings down the entire house of cards.
I don’t think it has any bearing on the delusional nature of the claim that some unknowable and/or uncountable number of people were brought back from the dead using CPR.

So you believe it's true that she brought SO many people back from the dead with CPR that she has no idea how many there were?

I would agree with the idea of taking degree in something more work related. Even in teaching religious studies is not on the national curriculum although it is a mandatory subject which parents can pull their kids out of. I don’t think you would have found satisfaction in teaching that subject as an atheist, irrespective of the passionate discussions.

It has a direct bearing on the reliability of your vivid recollection.
