Push to shove, whatever enriches someone's spirituality or kindness or
consciousness is a good thing. I don't believe in a creator, but I
have no problem with those who do. And orb spiders are indeed
awesome. I don't believe a god created them, but if someone else does
and it touches their heart making them a better person, it's great.
Don't you think?

Any form of self-delusion is a potentially damaging thing.
The real-world evidence for such a case is overwhelming.
Delusion is NOT benign, even if it does make the deludee 'feel
better'.
