Thread: About my imaginary friend...

[Shrugs] Personally, I've always felt religious figures such as God, Jesus, Allah, and whatnot could be classified as imaginary friends. In the end, the existence of an omnipotent being, to this day, has neither been proved or disproved. That said, when I see people pray to whatever god they hold, to me they're essentially talking to someone they believe is there--even though said someone doesn't appear before them in a physical form.

People whom have lost someone dear to them often speak to their graves or a picture of them. Despite not knowing whether or not the deceased person can hear them, the "conversation" nevertheless brings them comfort.

When people write in their diaries, they often write as if they're speaking to someone. Despite not getting a response from the diary like in Harry Potter, after writing they feel relieved after having got everything off their chest.

When watching television, people often yell cheers or jeers at the characters as if it will have any effect.

When I was very little, I would often ask mine Magick Eight Ball for advice.

They exist in many forms, but in a way imaginary friends are actually quite common. [Shrugs] That said, anyone snickering at you right now is probably a hypocrite.
