For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.n.; When you ask the question 'is self-delusion preferable to acknowledging reality?' you are attempting to place yourself, and I have said this to you before, in a position of neutrality, from which you believe you are able, with impartiality, to judge what is someone else's delusion. What you see as their delusion, they see as reality.
Some say seeing is believing! That expresses the attitude that materialistic people today take toward God. Because they cannot see him with the naked human eye or with the aid of the most powerful telescope in use today, they do not believe that he exists; they cannot persuade themselves to believe that he is
It good to see not all people are like that, ignoring the facts can be easier than believing in God and his purposes. Many people conceive God to be what they want him to be, not what he really is. They ascribe qualities to him that he does not have, or take away qualities that he does have. They try to fashion God to an image that suits their fancy, while ignoring the facts that show what he actually is. ( Rev. 11:17, 18)

Goodlife, please don’t talk about facts. You don’t have any facts. You have no idea of what a creator God might be – or if such a thing even exists – and you have no business leading the gullible astray with your ridiculous fabricated superstition. I don’t need to see a creator God with the naked eye, nor even through a telescope – I would just like a little evidence of its existence, but that is something that neither you nor anyone else can provide, because none of you - not even the author of Revelations - has any.
