Atheists, you talk to yourselves, right?

I think you'll find everyone does it; some are more willing to admit it than others (even to themselves). I do it all the time, the commentary in my head will spill out in words and sometimes I don't realise I'm doing it. It's probably all part of viewing the world as a spectator sitting behind a mobile TV screen - we're constantly being monitored by our own dual nature, so being a narrative species it's only natural we would externalise it. It's called the human condition.
I'm always holding obviously one-sided conversations with my Sam, in private of course. Even if she can't hear me, the model I hold of her in my mind and built up over the years carries enough information of how she would react and think for me to consult her opinion on things that weigh upon me. If nothing else it obviates the loneliness a little. (October 25, 2013 at 4:21 am)whateverist Wrote: Women! (They just want us for one thing.) They do?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

You have to use a pen. And I'm a little miffed that you would even suggest the possibility that I would cheat. If I can't finish it, I can't finish it, and I just blame it on Will being a dick. And the top half of today's is a real bitch, so I've been grumbling at Will all morning.(October 25, 2013 at 8:38 am)Zazzy Wrote: I also talk to Will Shortz, the editor of the NYT crossword puzzle, all the time as I do puzzles.

I talk to myself constantly. Just silently when I am around others so they won't think I'm weird and all. I would be mighty bored if I couldn't talk to myself.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
I talk to myself quite a bit. The time to worry is if you're talking to yourself and you bore yourself to sleep.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
Most of the world calls this exchange inner dialogue. Only those with mental health issues believe there is another entity involved.
I never talk to that prick. Why would I?
