we clock time by the sun
callendars and women are ruled by the moon
we use certain stars and constellations to gauge when to plant crops
we can see the stars and see the effects directly
god or bible on the other hand, we see the effect of blind faith and hate based on bible, bigotry

Technically astrology is a bit hard for me to understand. If every single human being followed their horoscope, what would the world be like? Would there be peace everywhere or chaos.
...and doesn't astrology destroy individualism. Just because you have a bunch of individuals born on the same day, at the same hospital, then they all will have similar personalities and similar circumstances for the rest of their lives?
If a person does not follow his horoscope for a time period, does that affect his horoscopes that follow? Say Person A and Person B born at the same time, at the same hospital. Person A follows his horoscope for a month straight. Person B does the exact opposite. How come after this period they still have the same horoscope?

I just got reading through that other question and I couldn't respond because I was banging my head on the table.
Astrology isn't stupid. It is so fanciful as all that, that we are that connected to our environment and our sky? That energy affects us.
People who have studied astrology and have imput into certain transitions of my life have been a tremendous help to me. I don't rely on it, but I respect it. If someone drops a reading on me, I'm listening.
People can shut all the doors that they want. Living blindly, is what I call it. Who does it really serve? If it's available here, it was created somehow. Are people saying that the devil "creates" as well?
I thought he could only mess with what was already in existance? Some King in the old testiment went nuts and someone gave their opinion as to why and it goes down in infamy as Evil.
Thanks for bringing this up, my head was hurting and now I have to ice it before I get a big knot on it!

I just ignore them. I let the other people here argue with them but I leave those questions alone. I actually don't even think of those people but since you brought the topic up, I'll share my inputs for you. It's a given that everyone's free to share their opinion. It's how they say it that makes the difference. Nobody has to be rude. They could ask nicely (and some do BTW) but instead they start arguments. In turn, their arrogance is reciprocated by fury from some of the people here and nothing gets settled --- just two sides infuriating the other. Sadly, it's safe to assume that that's their intention all along and we're left angry while they're left smirking. Don't stoop down their level, everyone. Clear things up with them, fine. There's nothing wrong with guarding what you believe in. However, don't let them bother you. But it should be alright to vent your frustrations every now and then. I understand that some people can't help it (=P) but umm... it shouldn't be a big deal. Trying to convince them is like arguing with someone who's got Taurus in all of his planets. It's basically useless. Pisces Sun. Virgo Moon. Taurus Rising.

They are both pre- (and anti-) scientific explanations of the physical universe.
Astrology is stupid because the general gravitational equation tells us that celestial bodies have an insignificant and trivial effect on human behavior — this includes the moon, which has less effect on a person than does the house the person enters and leaves.
The Bible is erroneous because it has been shown to be factually inaccurate and there is no (zero) empirical evidence for its fundamental premise (the existence of a supernatural being).

Astrology is made up for everyone whom wants to know there future.I take one day at a time not one day ahead.Christians believe that God will always be there for them no matter what the future holds.No someone being under signs or related issues of the constellation.

The Bible never told me I was going to have a romatic meeting with an old, distant friend and it would lead into a great night. My wife didn't think so.

Because when dealing with cult spirits, they are only right half the time.
God is right & just all the time. The Spirit of Truth leads into all truth.

Astrology is against God. Astrology is run by Satan. God commands us to abstain from all appearance of evil.

Very good question :-) Religion certainly doesn't deserve the respect and reverence which it still seems to have, in some quarters.
