My father, by far. But the coin incident was the farthest from reality he's ever been.
My dad collects coins, because his extremely Hungarian immigrant grandfather convinced him that the Bank (capitalizing it because to him, all banks are just one huge world bank) is determined to steal all his money from him, so he has to have a backup plan. This in and of itself isn't too extreme; plenty of people choose self-sustenance due to a distrust in government and economics, but the real kicker happened when he tried to roll his coins.
He has to order his coin rolls online because he doesn't want to go to the bank and get coin rolls because then the bank will know how much money he's hiding from them. I'm not kidding. Anyway, he ordered a bag of coin rolls and waited about a month for them to come before he started getting curious where they were. He asked my mom to check the order tracking while he was at work one day, which led to this conversation:
Mom: [Dad's name], it says here that the package made it to [town we live in] two weeks ago, but got sent back. It says you gave no delivery address.
Dad: Yeah, why would I do that? I don't want them to know where I live, they might tell everyone.

I was in a science class in 9th grade with a girl who had previously been in religious schools for most of her life. One day, the class randomly started talking about dinosaurs. You could see this girl becoming increasingly confused until she finally blurted out "Wait, dinosaurs are real??" She then quickly asked if dragons were real, genuinely hungry for knowledge and questioning life. That girl left class that day very, very confused.
Edit: I just wanted to add that the girl didn't think that fossils were put in the ground by the devil or a trick from god or anything like that. She had been taught that dinosaurs were 'mythical beasts' and that all of the bones in the museums were manmade and fake. Thus, her also asking if dragons were real as well.

That is sad... Those religious schools the girl is probably a good example of this.
The Bible itself clearly tells of the existence of dinosaurs..
Which describes the brontosaurus.

This is exactly why people think Christans are crazy. Because of these shitheads.

Anybody who is not an idiot knows that dinosaurs aren't real and that the devil only put their bones on earth to trick us.
