Sticking your head in the sand won't make us concede your point. Either provide evidence, or proclaim it a belief, not a fact. What's the age old internet egging? "Pictures, or it never happened."? I think that's it. In this case, some empirical evidence. Not, "I saw so there." Not firing at you, just explaining why people are snickering all around.

I dont need to provide evidence for peer review for it to be real, how silly (even though all his friends experienced the same thing). Plus, how would I go about getting this evidence? Video tape the act of mind reading? You'll scream "FAKE" at that in a second and say we were acting. I wouldnt make my friend jump through hoops for something that I already know is real anyways... Im afraid the only way to convince you guys is if you go on the most educational field trip of your life and see it for yourself, be prepared to have your proud atheistic views shattered though... That might be tough to let go of...
I am not sure how someone being psychic would effect my rejection of theism. I am also not sure how someone who resists basic education, like the difference between atheist and skeptic, would be qualified to authenticate anything, especially psychic powers. You have shown that you are too busy tripping over your own prejudicial misunderstandings to properly comprehend reality, falling for a cold reading fits right into your profile.
Somewhere, there is something incredible waiting to be confused for aliens.

Of course that would be too simple... Apparently it doesn't work like that. From what I understand, you must have some sort of connection already established, CWE explained that by saying he was thinking about things, and began thinking 'what if he can hear me' because of the previous circumstances, and that's what began the connection. He can't do it 'on command'. He doesn't want to prove it, or show anybody.
So I guess that's that.. I'm also interested in seeing Chief's acknowledgment of if this were actually true why it wouldn't mean a thing to anyone else's theistic beliefs, but that probably won't happen..
So I guess I'll just get high and finish the rest of this piece of bread and peanut butter..
