Here's my response, saying much the same. I didn't write it but have shared it often.

"When a person chooses to believe a lie, their thinking becomes skewed and twisted because they must distort the facts to fit their belief. There is a blockage in their reasoning abilities.

And some part of them knows that they have chosen a lie, so there is a deep tension within them as they try to hide from themselves that they have chosen the lie.

The truth then becomes a terrible threat to the false personality built on the lie, with the anger and vigor with which they attack matching their fear of self-exposure."
