As Blicky said 'Just pat them on the head and leave the building.'

You asked a question 3 weeks ago. We tell you the answers and then you refuse to accpet the explanations because 'it's happened to you'.
Therefore, it seems that your opening post is almost a starter for 10 to troll for the rest of the time as every post that explains rationally why people can know things about you is ut up you dismiss it.
You have even said you know about 'mr randi' therefore you must know the explanations.
So, to answer your questions: again:
Because they are cold and hot reading you. Doris Stokes was the worst for hot-reading.
Because no one can. You can't hot or cold read where missing people are.

<<...that there cannot be anything else?>>
Surely the crucial question here is not "what something else?" but "something else other than what?"

It continues to mystify me why theists and their apologists make such a fuss about reason, rationality, logic and intelligence, being used to cast huge doubts on woo-woo that's been used for thousands of years to oppress huge numbers of people who believe in a different woo-woo, not to mention those who have never really gone along with woo-woo.
Now we live in a society where the vast majority of people have the benefit of education and access to learning about the way of thinking that is *not* based on superstition, the whining is deafening. And we're even claiming 100% certainty as so many woo-wooists do.
And only yesterday on a thread I spoke to SWL on he said, and I quote, 'The real bigots around here are the Atheists.'
Amazing.

And I'm unsubbing. I'm fed up with saying the same old stuff on these type of threads only for it to be suggested I'm being closed minded and claiming things I'm not, and haven't.

I've previously posted links to detailed research about NDEs and theories about them, but no one could be ar*ed reading the articles, just jumping to conclusions from the first paragraph and using the conclusions they jumped to, to call me stupid (sigh, I have got so used to that!)!
But it's all there if anyone is at all interested. The anoxia theory is a bust, pretty much, and the links no one could be bothered reading explain why...

Oh get lost Vicky, with your stirring. I should never have posted that. I didn't contextualise it which is my rule; it was unfair. I was was cross with SWL, as I frequently am. But he's worth 10 of you.

< yes vicky atheists are the ones that fire the shots becouse they choose not to belive.>
And there it is the comment I have been waiting for: becouse they choose not to belive.
The arrogance of 'the believer' that people who don't choose to believe in supernatural woo-woo stuff are not believers.
That someone can only be called a believer if they believe in woo-woo stuff.
Anyone who believes in rational logical things are called unbelievers.

To be fair to Alfster and Fanny they have had to put with people whose attempt at argument amounts to sticking their fingers in their ears and ignoring the points they make.
While they see me having to put with the same people moaning if I actually dig my teeth into the meaning of arguments from the other side of this debate.
Still by now Id have thought they'd have got used to the truly pathetic level of argument, mirrored by the staggeringly awesome levels of hypocrisy that comes from some of the faithers round here. Im constantly suprised by how some very stupid people can be so amazingly self righteous. Guess they are too dumb to realise how stupid they are.
Which brings me rather neatly onto SWL's comments, which he is completely free to make.
Has to be said he is also completely free to back up his point with examples and analysis that he hasnt bothered to do so says it all really.
one love

Now effers your woo woo stuff as you put it people thought it was woo woo that man could not make a flying machine (the plane) but they did and that proved there point . call it silly, woo woo, mad , etc but there are loads of things happen and we cant get to the bottom of mircles do happen that cant be explained .

oldrusty: you come across as either a teenager who is still trying to work out what the world means or a very very naive adult.
I do hope it is the former.
