Quote:Even an atheist follows sometimes, though without his knowledge, Jesus’ advice about praying in private (actually talking to oneself)
This is complete bollocks and shows that your knowledge of scripture isn’t all that it could be. Jesus admonition was to ‘…go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen’.
This is not the same as talking to oneself.

Very good remark.
But whenever someone talks to an unseen being (like one of his beloved persons who has to live too far away from him or was dead), isn't it like talking to oneself?!
Sorry, I personally don't have sacred words (or holy books) as Pagans (and likely many Christians you met) are supposed to have.
Being a rational scientific person, I used seeing/analyzing the solution of a problem from different angles in order to better know how to apply it (in case it looks being useful to me or to some others).
I lost my earthly father at age 9. I feel the need to talk to him sometimes while I remember the last things he said and did to me. Although this may be not important to others, I do this just to recall that I am a human, not just an intelligent animal (or one of the AI robots). Similarly, whenever I face a hard situation, I feel the need to also talk to the unseen Will behind the existence of my very complex living being. This simply gives a sort of rest/break to my brain in order to give it a better chance to find me the best solution for it. Obviously, not everyone can do it because one has to trust fully first that he was created with the ability to find the logical answers to all his crucial/important questions related to his life (with no exception).
But, actually, all formal theists around the world are made to believe that the power of their mind is limited by design. Therefore, they have to accept/believe that they have to live on earth a sort of silly game in which there are many locked doors whose keys to be found are hidden but they cannot be accessed in any way.
I am afraid that there is no remedy when one cannot trust his given unlimited intellectual power.
So, I wonder to how far an atheist can trust the power of his mind I used hearing that an atheist is ready to believe whatever he can see and/or hear only as being real (for example, the notion of ‘infinity’ in Math cannot exist to an atheist and he should disregard it ). After all, believing something being real/true by seeing and/or hearing it, is the main base on which the well-paid international and local news agencies spread fairy tales (mostly political) which are made/created for adults, in each period of time, by the powerful rich World’s Elite.
