Not in their own minds, and that is all that matters. Also not to their church members, sadly:-(.

Perception is reality and they cannot perceive a reality in which they aren't always correct.

I mean, I would not say that it is reality, just that they act like it is - except even that much is not true, b/c when they get REALLY sick, they finally show up at a hospital begging to be saved. So even they know, deep down, where the medicine is at. Cognitive dissonance is a horrific, terrible thing:-(.
