Is God Sending a Strong Delusion on People at the End of the Age?

Can a professing nominal christian who doesn't think they're saved ask god for them to be able to love the truth when they've previously not embraced it in faith? Or would such a one be given to strong delusions like we read about in second thestalonians two 11? In fact, what does that phrase even mean? So let's get the text in front of us. It really is a sobering text, and in some ways, a surprising one in the way it talks about deception and truth and pleasure.
