..and you have done a marvelous job of pointing out the obvious. Namely, that I have done a marvelous job at inventing a narrative. A narrative, mind you, in which there is no logical contradiction, and in which also the person in question at one point in time genuinely disbelieves in the existence of God but still prays,(and takes this to mean "talking to God" in a colloquial sense) thereby showing that it is possible for a person to disbelieve in the existence of God, and still talk to Him, which is my "contention."
I guess it isn't that obvious, so I'll explain: Terr, in his OP, is referring to a theist who claims to have converted from theism, to atheism, and then back to theism. Hence the "stop then start," as you put it. Hope that helps.

"I know what you are thinking about,' said Tweedledum: 'but it isn't so, nohow.'
'Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, 'if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." ~Tweedledum and Tweedledee discussing the finer points of logic
