@SRPSKAG0RAZDANkA because the gravitational pull from the moon and other planets on your body is LESS than what is generated from your pillow when you sleep on it at night. NOT only that, there’s NO evidence to suggest so.
that’s the REASON i’m an atheist, because i require evidence to support things.

@equallyeasilyfuqyou What is absurb about a gravitational pulls of planets affecting people in different ways? Thats basically what astrology is. Its been studied how planets gravitational pulls affect the planet why not how they affect humans? Sorry but so many atheists here disappoint me. Were supposed to be free thinkers. Just because we dont believe in bearded schizos in the sky doesnt mean we shouldnt explore what our own universe has to offer.

Could you tell me how I’m being close-minded? If you mean “close-minded” in the sense that I don’t believe in anything that is supported by evidence then, yes, I am close-minded.

@Styhn See thats very close minded to say. I can’t wait until people get their heads out of their asses and actually study it.

@SRPSKAG0RAZDANkA
We do not study astrology because there is no scientific evidence that any of the claims that are presented within astrology have any merrit.

Each time I read my horoscope and it says anything about meeting new people it makes me laugh. I haven’t met any1 new for years D=
December 11th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
@SRPSKAG0RAZDANkA I am ashamed that you are an atheist.
December 11th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
@SRPSKAG0RAZDANkA Explain to us how “energies” or “gravity” affects the personality, and fate of humans. Please enlighten me.

I am an astrologer, as well as an atheist. My question is how many of you actually study astrology outside of the sunday paper? Probably none. What is so absurd about planets shifting and bringing different energies to earth? We can’t see it therefor it must not exist? How about gravity? We can’t see it but we can feel it but how do we know that it TRULY EXISTS? Alot of the atheists commenting here resemble christians a bit too much. geez

@cornflakeclusters I completely agree. But I still like reading my horoscope on some mornings. Then again, I don’t believe it. If something predicted in my horoscope happens, it’s usually because I read it and wanted it to happen, so I went out and MADE it happen.

This is beyond ignorant. Any real astrologer will tell you that the horoscopes in the paper are? full of shit. A REAL typical example is when the astrologer conducts a NATAL CHART READING. Do most people know that? NO!

@Redbeardian
Too many people think it’s real.

“Atheism” is little more than a by product of rationalism. We disbelieve ALL unprovable claims, ALL bullshit. And me? I personally HATE bullshit that takes advantage of peoples emotional vulnerabilities. Religion and astrology are the same, and better off dead.
December 12th, 2010 at 1:11 am
@EmbraceDorkhood I KNOW RIGHT!? MY CHART SAID I WOULD MEET NEW PEOPLE, SO I WENT OUTSIDE AND MET THEM! THE PROPHECY CAME TRUE!
December 12th, 2010 at 1:49 am
@EmbraceDorkhood Cool story bro! I often laugh at the use of anectodes like that to support astrology when that is clearly not rational!
December 12th, 2010 at 2:29 am
STOP HATING ON ASTROLOGY!!! IT TOTALLY HELPS ME WITH MY LIFE!!!
MY ASTROLOGY CHART TOLD ME I WOULD MEET LOTS OF INTERESTING PEOPLE TODAY AND GUESS WHAT!!!! I DID!!!! ASTROLOGY PROVED!!!
Please note that this is a joke. No one take my comment as serious.

@MadaraXIII LOL thats coming from a Christian? do you know how ironic what you just said is? “make your own decisions? in life and dont let some Gobbledeegook someone wrote on paper define you.” Thats exactly what the Bible is!
December 12th, 2010 at 3:13 am
I always thought that it was in the newspapers as a joke,
Now i Know
December 12th, 2010 at 3:45 am
I thought it was understood by most people that horoscopes/astrology are novelties for entertainment. Do some people think it’s real?!?
December 12th, 2010 at 4:09 am
@madaraxiiii
“Sheesh People make your own decisions in life and dont let some Gobbledeegook someone wrote on paper define you.”
Wow, and your a christian? Why dont you follow your own advice!!!!!!
December 12th, 2010 at 4:58 am
@Pelham89 lol love that song!
December 12th, 2010 at 5:37 am
Astology is so fucking old and DEBUNKED! jesus come on people its fake!
December 12th, 2010 at 6:36 am
@cornflakeclusters Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give
you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid,
scientific, documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true.
LOL JK
December 12th, 2010 at 7:31 am
Even as a Christian I can actually agree in that It is stupid to believe in such BS as the star signs and what not. Sheesh People make your own decisions in life and dont let some Gobbledeegook someone wrote on paper define you.
Individuality FTW!!
