Astrology vs Religion? Let's see here.........?

Question

I am sick of the people that come here and say Astrology is B.S. when there is more to support the effects it does have then any fictitious book about god! Is this not true? Think about it celestial bodies have effects on other celestial bodies do they not? Our moon effects the tides and it also effect peoples behaviour! This is proven. So why is it so hard to believe that from the time you are conceived through out your development that the way the universe is lining up might actually effect a persons chemical makeup?!? Please all these people put their faith in books that have never ever been proven to be accurate! I mean how do we know that the people who came up with the god THEORY didn't eat some bad food and have hallucinations. There is nothing to substantiate any god and I am sorry but the fact that we are here doesn't hold an ounce of water to prove anything.The only thing religion is good for is killing millions of people in the name of!!! Now that's a fact!

OK just to let you know I am more or less Buddhist but that is not a religion it is a philosophy and I do believe in the human soul and I have seen ghosts but that does not prove the existance of a god. Just because everything in the universe is made up of energy and we are a part of that energy. As I said I don't like organized religion because it is proven to be the biggest killer of humane life through out history. From wars to human sacrifices people are slaughtered in the name of god. That is just plain and simple put insanity! That fact is people just want something else because of fear of the unknow. Like what happens when we die and things like that. People need to have faith in themselves and stop letting outside influences dictate their lives! You are in charge (to a point!) of your life not some book that says if you do this you will get this! It is easy to be a good human all you have to do is look around and at others who are out there helping perfect strangers to see it.

Just to add this is only a theory I have but I am using what I know from what I have seen to come up with it. Has it not been proven that the phases of the moon does affect the way some people behave? In my theory I am stating that could this not be possible with how during development of a life that the way the universe is during that time could it not have a bearing on how that life will be when it comes into this world? I also will make reference to the way weather effects how people feel for example arthritis. I know it is not the same but it is along the same principle's. But once again it is only a theory that I have and theories can some day become fact.

Answer 2

My Dear Friend Astrology is part of New Age, which is a religion of its own. Christianity says that God made everything, but the Greeks and Egyptians said that it was done by the Gods & Godesses. Same aplies to Astrology, Christians read from the Bible that only God will know what will happen tomorrow, while the Greeks, Egyptians, Hyndu's, and other believers from eastern religion says that the tommorows are predicted by the stars. You can actually not compare this with each other, because it comes from different religions, wich is Christianity and New Age. I hope this will answer why Christians Don't believe in astrology.

Answer 3

One should read some real science about tides before making unvalidated claims. Lunar tides affecting people has not been proven.(1)

You are trying to make a fact out of astology against the "beliefs" of religion. The argument is pointless. Testing a belief is impossble. Testing a fact is possible.

I lean toward being an athiest but it's for the same reason why astrology is also not valid. Lack of evidence from both. Give us the links for the "facts" and let us examine. Blind belief is not needed.

You use the phrase "why is it so hard to believe", in your rant. Once again how does one test the belief? Is astrology factual and can be proved? Lack of evidence. First show that it works, THEN make the theories.

If true, then belief does not matter. Astrology can and has been tested. It fails to do better than chance. Ask if any of the "experts" that have put years or decades into it, if they are close to providing the proof.

Either astrology can be tested – so astrologers, please tell us how. (And so far it has failed all well designed tests.) Or it can’t be tested – so astrologers please tell us how its rules were derived and how you know it works.

Which is it? Because it can’t be both

Answer 4

I do think you believe in God , but in a lot looser and different way than traditional religions present God. There is a spiritual oneness factor, that hold the universe together somewhat, into an organic oneness. I developed my own Astrology System over 30 years, because I believed that there was no better spiritual tuning device available, than the Sun, Moon, and planets with their cycles. It was like connecting with the spiritual though nature, but nature on the largest scale. I am very critical of what I will accept as good enough, since I have push the edge all my life, paid the price many times by getting in trouble, but saved by being experienced at dealing with the edge often, from real bad harm. I am still pushing the edge spiritually, today, but I use my Astology System to keep my spiritual balance.

Answer 5

It's my beleif that main religions are pretty much all telling the same story. I beleive we all get conditioned. I stumbled across the zeitgeist video which confirmed much of what i had thought. All religions are just talking about an astrological event. These story's are all from different times but tell the same thing. Now beleive what you want but i would be interested what you your thoughts on this story were all fed once you have watched this video , its on youtube so go ahead. it's beyound time we all woke up. One at a time ofcourse.

Just find yourself. thats all the god you need. were all conected and are part of everything. (just my harmless beleif that wont persecute you if you dont follow my beleif).

Be Good

Answer 6

Agree religion is the reason for wars and killing people. Sure the moon has some influence on lots of things, but the stars lining up having an influence on our make up is just another theory. That I don't agree with.

Answer 7

i believe astrology has effect on a person's character and that's mainly it. i don't see how it can predict the future or really influence how you feel (like where the sun and moon is right now) so I don't think astrology and religion should really mix.

i think following a religion is a positive thing just because it does make you feel at peace. Personally, I don't follow any particular religion but i have nothing against religious people as long as they respect the beliefs of others.

i think it would be hard for people who have been brought up in a religious family to let go of the bible, etc. so i think they just naturally have a lot of faith in it.

Answer 8

Answer 9

well you didn't have to go and write a whole dang story. if you don't believe in god...you don't have too.

i was told (over and over again) by my grandparents...that no one is truely happy until they recieve Jesus into their hearts. somewhat of me believes them, because they are my grandparents. i don't want to preach to you like they did to me.

just don't make any conclusions.
think. think about what happens after life? darkness? what do we feel? that can't be the end.
this is what makes me believe.

Answer 10
