I do that too, but I call it Magic though.Sure, why not?
I talk to myself all the time.
It helps me step outside of myself to gain a better understanding of the situation.

So you give labels to non beliefs?
Would not an atheist praying...be like talking to yourself?
I suppose the best prayer that an atheist could pray would be for God to prove himself to that particular atheist. He will accept the challenge.

I am an atheist, but I have recently had urges to pray. Can atheists pray? To know more of what I am talking about, check out my blog: Praying Atheist: Old HabitsÂ*DieÂ*Hard | Mhiggs's Blog
I am a Buddhist, and I pray. I don't pray to any deities or outside entities. My prayers are "from" not "to". They are offerings of merit or positive energy/wishes towards the object of the prayer, and they are oftentimes spoken aloud during service.
Funnily enough, I did this only yesterday. I told god that if s/he would arrange for me to win at least half a million in the lottery tonight I would take it as proof or her/it/his existence and believe her/him/it for life. I'll let you know later whether or not god accepted the challenge.
I thought putting him to the test would be asking for help on an exam.
wa:do
Sound's good but...Jesus stated, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test"...He was talking about just what you did....
I'm OK then, because your Lord is not my God, and Jesus doesn't even enter into it. What I did was provide "god", whatever that may mean, the opportunity to become my "lord" by demonstrating a) a personal interest in my life and b) omnipotence. Interesting to see you weasel out of your earlier claim that god accepts every such challenge so easily though. What's the matter - suddenly experienced a crisis of faith?
Naw...I'm good....
Whoops, seems that was Danmac's god who accepts every challenge, not yours. Sorry for mixing them up.

I wish you guys would get your stories straight. If only you had a book or something that told you what the "correct" Christian beliefs are.I suppose the best prayer that an atheist could pray would be for God to prove himself to that particular atheist. He will accept the challenge.

i actually have asked 'the l-rd' at least once a day for months now if he would like to come down and wrestle with me, and aside from bringing a few freak rain storms on my head during a grueling bike ride and having a girl or two treat me like dirt he's sort of a no-show. he wont even send one measly angel down here to rough me up and i'm beginning to think that maybe he's not there at all. lolz. or perhaps he's just out of my weight class?I suppose the best prayer that an atheist could pray would be for God to prove himself to that particular atheist.

I understand that you do not pray as Christians do...I think you not believe there is no God to hear the prayers or to act upon them. If you seek answers to life's problems through inner meditation and outer observation...I guess I need more help than to try to do that...I'm ADHD to the max. and cannot stay on subject that long...
