Nothing makes me sure I'm right, but it's a credible theory and I intend to stick with it - I'm not trying to win the Nobel Prize in physics - I'm just sharing my agreement to a plausible theory.

This is getting silly. I'm not trying to advance scientific development. Again, I am merely imparting my views on some scientific concepts.

Ok, then. One little thing, though; you're not supporting a theory, you're supporting a hypothesis. :)

No. Cheese is a good snack, but it's not my edible messiah. I'm still waiting for the coming of my nutritious saviour, as prophesised by McDonald's.

If your friend suffers from the delusion that he is Napoleon, do you encourage him? Of course not! When a delusion is individual, it's called insanity, when it's communal, it's called religion.

Religion isn't delusion, it's a belief. Just because you don't believe it doesn't automatically make it a bunch of lies. I find that statement very unfair.
The definition of the word 'delusion': A false belief or opinion. After all, you friend who thinks he's Napoleon also has a belief, but it's false, just like the belief that some deity kicked some humans out of some garden for eating an apple, the belief that the same deity flooded the Earth 4400 years ago because humans were mean to each other, and the belief that 2000 years ago, some dude was born from a virgin, died, and then woke up from the dead and ascended to some place unreachable for living humans where he could sit by this deity's side until armageddon and watch football and drink beer.
This post is a complete win.
