literally yes! miracles and prayers and signs are really real. even going beyond my own story: 70 members of my family were killed in a pogrom in lithuania and the rest perished in the holocaust. my great grandfather was the only one to escape germany along with his two siblings. they fled south africa when the riots happened in the 70s. today our family has completely repopulated!!!! that is one of the most unlikely thinigs to come out of our scenario but the orthodox side of my family all has 20+ kids each. even the things that seem a little hard to believe are true if you have god on your side. ben gurion said "to be jewish is to believe in miracles". i literally make it my job in life to tell people delusions are not real. Because god granted my prayers I tell literally everyone anything you can imagine and believe in is real.

I mean, I'm glad to hear about your family being safe but that's frankly not a huge stretch of the imagination? Collectively the chances of it all happening are very slim, but that could be said about everything that happens in specific enough terms. A once-persecuted family having a thriving family tree isn't a unique or even unlikely result from that scenario. It's a story of familial peril and triumph, but not really one of defying the odds.
To reiterate what the parent was saying - there are degrees of delusion that range from "serendipitous coincidence" to "actual hallucinations caused by taking drugs". At some point along the line, surely all sane people would agree that delusion loses it's basis in rational thought...?
