I’m seeing a pattern in your behaviour. Dismiss and insult. Dismiss and insult. Why don’t you try considering the claim. Or better yet, since you’re all about proof, prove that the self is a real thing. This will have been the third time I’ve challenged you to that. And if I know Atheists, you will avoid the challenge by recoiling to some ad adisum argument - claiming the burden of proof is on me.

No. We both hear voices in our heads. Prove that the ones you hear are your “self”.

You keep repeating the claim,

You keep repeating the claim, but ignoring the fact you have not come close to demonstrating any objective evidence for the claim. Even if could do this, the assumption for supernatural causation is yet another argument from ignorance fallacy.

"In fact.........claim removed with Hitchens's razor as it is asserted without evidence.....nstruct."

Excellent! The most

Excellent! The most intimate thing I relate to is my penis. My thoughts all agree. Be one with the penis and live a life free of contradiction. Not only am I one with the Penis but I am the Captain of the club. I want you to know that we have enjoyed your posts so much that we are bestowing upon you an honorary membership. Your name will be erected along with the comments you have made in our great throbbing hall of Penishood. We are brimming with joy to have you as our newest member. Please cum to our next meeting and get a facial shot for free. We will post it next to the inane comments you have been making. Welcome and congratulations. Let's all give Rat Spit a round of applause.

The "self" is a fabricated construct ...... and yet.... I dare you to throw it in front of a moving train. Please throw your self in front of a moving train and let us know how things turn out? "Self" is a construct that refers to or points to "The Person I think I am." "The Personality," another construct. The Self is every bit as real as the number 7. It is just a mental construct that points to something. That "Thing" remains regardless of how you interpret it. To lose the self is still something being lost. There is no lost without a loser. Eliminate the self and something has done the elimination to something that is there. All this talk of self is "Double Bind" Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu BS. You do not solve the problem of self by renaming it.

I certainly hope the erection of my penis in your “hall” of fame will inspire others to cum together in peace and harmony.

It could potentially be a most orgasmic experience for all!

Damn. That would certainly give a whole new meaning to The Big Bang!

*reminiscing sigh*.... Ahhhh.

*reminiscing sigh*.... Ahhhh.... I remember when I got my erection into the Great Throbbing Hall. Yep, almost like it was yesterday.... *perplexed look*... Then again, maybe it WAS yesterday. Hey, Cog! When was I inserted?!?.... Oh, never mind. Doesn't matter. Anyway, it was the most passionate twenty seconds of my life. The absolute climax of years of reading and studying and watching countless videos. Everything up to my insertion was just foreplay. Yes, sir. My finally getting in there really did take a load off.

Oh dear, you seem a tad confused. You don't think anything apparently, as the "self is fabricated construct".
