Don't challenge!: So far, the irrational beliefs are not hostile. That's good. Try to support the hopefulness he has in God's helping us all. In the interests of his, yours and perhaps others safety it is absolutely okay to support his beliefs. Try to stay calm and to keep him from becoming agitated. Call emergency # to get help. He needs a bit of inpatient treatment. Urge helpers to maintain his calm if possible.
