[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an atheist who talks to my deceased atheist father all the time. It is about keeping the memories and feelings alive for me. That is all.[/quote] So you're talking to nothing but you're remembering him as you do it?[/quote] Yes -- Because what is now a memory was once a real person - with a real personality and history of interaction with the person who is remembering. If people can talk to god and saints whom they've never seen, certainly it's easy to understand that they can talk to real humans who once existed in their lives. Another example of talking to someone who isn't there --- Some children conjure up "imaginary friends" that they grow out of after a while. While it doesn't happen to all children, it's considered to be perfectly normal. Parents are encouraged to think of it as a phase and not to discourage the imaginary friendship.[/quote]
