Father Morris: "It's Not Healthy to Have an Imaginary Friend" (pure irony)

This video so much amazing irony. I agree that there may be positive benefits to venting to air (like punching a pillow). Self-talk itself can be a helpful cognitive tool to vent stress (no imaginary friend needed). But, this is all well and good, but it obviously doesn't make God real. At the moment, God is an imaginary friend because, not only is there no evidence that such a being is listening, or cares, but there is no evidence for this being at all. Believers are praying to an imaginary friend that people tell them is real, so they believe it. Many toddlers have imaginary friends, perhaps this form of self-talk is a coping mechanism that is hardwired into us—perhaps this is the void that God fills. Maybe atheists don't need this cognitive tool as much as a believer does, so atheists do not need warp logic to fit God into their world-view (giving them a clearer, less warped image).
