“There's nothing to debate. I asked my inner voice if it was me and I said yes. I took my word for it.
No further proof is possible or needed. My inner voice agrees with me.”
This exact method of proof, when I use it, confirms my beliefs about a higher being. The main difference is that I wait momentarily for His response.
The fact that you merely answer your own question does not disprove that you are only compelled to believe that you are “in control”. On the contrary. You are not. The whole thing is a debacle.
Rat Spit, have you ever been diagnosed with a schizo-effective disorder?
Not once. Depression, anxiety, temporary psychosis - yes. 1 in 3 people will experience a bout of psychosis in their life. 4% of the population will admit to hearing voices. Of that 4%, 1 % will be diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizo-affective because the voices are too negative/invasive. The other 3% get along just fine with their condition and they are never diagnosed.
Any chance that 3% can get along just fine with the delusional voices in their head somewhere else?
Please, throw us a bone?
I’m in love with you, Sheldon. I’m not going anywhere.
rat spit "I’m not going anywhere."
We got that from your posts tbh.

rat spit "Not once."
Many many many times?
"This exact method of proof, when I use it, confirms my beliefs about a higher being. The main difference is that I wait momentarily for His response."
Why don't you pause a little while longer, and ask yourself seriously if you aren't just nuts. If your inner voice isn't sure, then I can offer an objective viewpoint, as I imagine can a few others.
I opted for your suggestion and the Evil One replied “Yes.” So, I am nuts according to the All Powerful presence that encompasses my every thought.
The fact remains that Algebra’s “proof” carries no more weight than mine - and what’s more I have further proof that I am not my thoughts. Like a song that plays in one’s head all day, every thought is prefaced by an impulse which can never be repeated. The impulse is interpreted and audiod in the mind and we have no control over it. We are merely persuaded by a manevolent force to believe it is coming from “us”.
"I opted for your suggestion and the Evil One replied “Yes.”"
I think that is a slam dunk, even the "evil one" mumbles something incoherent you didn't quite catch. .
"The fact remains that Algebra’s “proof” carries no more weight than mine - and what’s more I have further proof that I am not my thoughts."
You're delusional, and fairly self obsessed, pretty ironic with all your guff about the self not existing, and god help us you have access to a keyboard and the internet.The only malevolent force I'm seeing evidence for is your verbiage, and I am about to leave for an emergency appointment to see a doctor as I am suffering from chronic abdominal pain for 4 days. I'm looking forward to being away from your nonsense for while anyway.
To everyone else have fun, hopefully I'll be back soon with antibiotics, and not on my way to an OR.
Ad hominem; ad hominem; ad hominem
Could this really be the end of Sheldon? Breaking news at eight!
It wasn't ad hominem, it was a direct comment on the mindless verbiage you keep posting. It seems we can ad hominem to the list of phrases you don't understand.
"Could this really be the end of Sheldon?"
Thankfully not yet, antibiotics are doing their thing, and I am on the mend.
You’ve been called out Algebe. What you got?
The negative, the positive and the neutral....I have 3 inner voices. My true inner voice is found in the neutral.
Then you are “in the know” ... somewhat. The fact that you truly believe in a real self is just weird.
I recognize my true self...I just adapt and split myself up. Just basically me fighting with myself in the end. I am the true neutral of self and my environment. I also rather enjoy joining forces and manipulating neutral situations silently voices to voice. Call me crazy if you wish...I just may be that crazy. But I Identify and recognize all 3 and embrace myself as a whole in the end
JIm Rockford, Cristina Agulara, Shirly Temple, and The Terminator. I have four voices in my head and I am never sure which one is doing the typing.
Step away from Christina, she's promised herself to me. Well in my head anyway, which is probably a lot closer than rat shit's ever been to getting to laid.
I bumped into my wife this morning taking out the garbage. Does that count?
@Rat Spit Re: "I bumped into my wife this morning taking out the garbage. Does that count?"
Well, that depends. If it was only the garbage bag that made contact with her, then I'm afraid it does not count. However, if a portion of your body made actual physical contact with a portion of her body, then it would depend on how she reacted. If she glared at you in a menacing manner, then - ouch *hissing through teeth* - sorry. Can't really count that one. Although, if she just sorta grunted as you continued past her - or, better yet, if she actually SMILED at you - then.... *thinking*.... Sure. Why not? We'll count that one for you.... "thumbs up*...
My hip grazed hers. She was cutting up a radish. She then pointed the knife at me and said, “You’re going to be late for work, if you don’t hurry up.” She then calmly went back to cutting the radish.
@Rat Spit Re: "My hip grazed hers. She was cutting up a radish. She then pointed the knife at me and said, “You’re going to be late for work, if you don’t hurry up.” She then calmly went back to cutting the radish."
Let's seeee.... Hip-to-hip action, and her letting you know you will be late for work.... Yes, yes... Two positives so far.... Ummm... Ooo... This is interesting....Pointing a knife at you, eh?....... Well, hell! You just hit a HOME RUN, my man!... *high-five*.... I don't know about you, but whenever my wife points her knife at me it gets me all excited! Way to go!
I suspect that she said
"Don't forget to take your meds".
Depends, does she exist outside of your bat shit crazy delusions?
Also you said "I" bumped into..you just bored the crap out of everyone with your inane sententuous b.s. that the self doesn't exist.
Well, conventionally speaking “I” am required to use personal pronouns from time to time.
mailman: "I bumped into my wife this morning taking out the garbage. Does that count?"
sure it weren't the corner of the cabinet? With your delusional state...
Positive. Define “delusional”. I’m fairly sure I’ve been completely coherent my entire stay here. What should probably scare you more than anything is that, given enough time, I will persuade you to question the very foundation of everything you have considered “me” since you were old enough to verbalize your thoughts.
"rat spit" Define “delusional”. I’m fairly sure I’ve been completely coherent my entire stay here.
I think you just defined it pretty well.
"given enough time, I will persuade you to question the very foundation of everything you have considered “me” since you were old enough to verbalize your thoughts."
...and again there...showing you're delusional, and something of an egotist, ironically.
EDIT: removed dupe (???)
