Performative language. Just as their "personal relationship with jesus" should not be taken to mean that they sit the fucker down for tea and have a chat.
They're identifying themselves and affirming their belief with the use of perfunctory utterances. The statement is not truth evaluable on it's own because it doesn't report what it purports to report..rather, it reports something else.
It's either that, or they're reporting an experience of being constantly watched by an omniscient observer who talks to them..and they need strong drugs and a walkman...50/50. It's not a rule, but when a person says something crazy but doesn't act crazy or crazy in accordance with what they've said...they generally aren't. Ultimately..it's their call which of the two they'd like to convince you (or other people) is an accurate description of what they're doing. I've had more than a few of those convos on the boards, it's infuriating. You try to take someone seriously and work out exactly what it is that they're saying, but no...no..they're fucking loony...they insist.
