What are your thoughts on people who are extremely skeptical toward Astrology?

Leigh K asked:
They don’t believe in it, haven’t studied it, know nothing about it, but they answer questions in this category and berate the people who post their questions here? Do you think they realize how intolerant and rude they are being? Would you tell a Hindu or Buddhist their beliefs were crap?
…and your answer is an example of what I mean.
Re: wifey
No, it’s not a religion exactly but it is a belief system. And no, I wouldn’t tell a person they were good/bad based on astrology, that is too much of a generalization.
I think you could further argue that many people make the mistake of judging someone as good or bad based on whether they believe the same way as they do.
Re: Chainlightning: “If it’s not science, then it’s supersitition.” If your statement is true, then all belief systems are superstition. Actually, astrology is testable by the scientific method, just no one has done it. Since it’s a system of understanding which is subjective to each person, you have to learn and observe its principles for yourself. I began studying the signs and planets and their influences and interactions when I was 16. So I have been watching and observing people since then, and not ever saying to myself that Astrology was true before observing. I have watched people prove astrology to be correct to me again and again. Thats why I now believe in it. But I do appreciate that you asked what you would study about it instead of just bashing it immediately. I think it is the precursor of psychology, and that it’s an amazing tool for self understanding and helps relationships. Please take it from me, I’ve been observing now for over 13 years.

re: chain
I disagree that astrology is just divination, in fact, I think it has less value as a divination system than as a tool for personal understanding. It’s goal is for you to learn about yourself. Even if you disagree with it, it still makes you examine yourself which is not bad. What I want to know is, instead of quoting all this scientific research, why don’t you try looking into it yourself and make your own decision?

Ik denk dat mensen die komen hier om bash astrologie zijn gewoon stom, ze natuurlijk niet hebben onderzocht of werkelijk dacht over de dingen die ze beschuldigen, alles wat ik doe is gewoon hun antwoorden duim omlaag en gaan. Als ze willen komen hier en kijk onwetend, dan is dat het allemaal op hen. Zoals voor mij, ik zal blijven geloven wat er ook gebeurt. ♥

My my take on this is that they just don’t get what’s the big deal with astrology. I bet the majority probably have read a magazine or newspaper horoscope and just decided that this is so crappy. Yes they are right, the horoscope on the newspaper are stupid. There in so much more about astrology, I wish people would be a little more considerate.
I believe everyone is entitled to an opinion but I do think they shouldn’t put down something because they don’t accept or believe in it. People should be more openminded about certain issues especially beliefs. We’re not asking people to change themselves but just be understanding of other people and beliefs .

Mensen die skeptics van astrologie (skeptics van alles eigenlijk) zijn meestal alleen geïnformeerd of geïnformeerd. Mijn advies van hen is dat ze net hetzelfde als mensen die in grote astrologie, ze zijn waarschijnlijk intelligente interessante mensen die gewoon havent de tijd genomen om te leren hoe geweldig en inlightning astrologie kan zijn. Misschien moeten we de tijd nemen om uit te leggen aan hen, als er open minded ze kunnen gewoon blijven onderwijzen zelf!

Ich habe keine Probleme mit dem Glauben. Die Menschen glauben, dass Gott Himmel steuert das Universum, in Ordnung. Obwohl für mich macht es Sinn, zu glauben, in Sachen, die gibt es. Zum Beispiel bin ich der Meinung, dass Bildung das Wichtigste für die Zukunft unserer Kinder. Das Problem habe ich, wenn Menschen behaupten, dass Überzeugungen sind sachlich. Aber keine Beweise dafür, dass hinter diesen Forderungen. Sie wird auch nicht der Meinung, dass es möglich ist zu verwechseln, oder dass es vielleicht etwas anderes. Open mindness funktioniert in beide Richtungen. Astrologie kann nicht gleichzeitig eine Weltanschauung und eine wissenschaftliche Tatsache. Ich werde Ihnen das vorzuschlagen. Was wird "studiert", wenn es um die Astrologie? Sind die Dinge getestet werden? Hat alles fest, dass er falsch, in diesen Studien? Ich verstehe Überzeugungen von der Natur kann nicht getestet werden, aber Astrologie Forderungen werden können. Alle Ergebnisse? In welchen Bereichen macht deutlich Astrologie Erfolg, es besser zu machen als zufällige Chance? Oder noch besser als die Alternativen, die vielleicht einfacher oder eher? Welche Art ist das eigentliche Astrologie? Wenn es nicht die Wissenschaft, es ist Aberglaube. Edit: Meine Politik ist Angriff das Argument, nicht die arguer. Beleidigung anderer kindisch. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Menschen hier, alle meine Antworten sind, um. Ja, wegen Mangel an Beweisen Glauben sind alle Menschen aus Aberglauben. Aber lassen Sie uns an Weissagung, die Astrologie ist es, was wirklich ist. Sie erwähnen die wissenschaftliche Methode. Die einfache Version sind: # 1. Beachten Sie einen Aspekt des Universums. # 2. Invent eine vorläufige Bezeichnung, als Hypothese, dass im Einklang mit dem, was Sie beobachtet haben. # 3. Verwenden Sie die Hypothese, um Vorhersagen. # 4. Test dieser Vorhersagen durch Experimente oder weitere Beobachtungen und ändern die Hypothese im Lichte der Ergebnisse. # 5. Wiederholen Sie die Schritte 3 und 4, bis es keine Diskrepanzen zwischen Theorie und Experiment und / oder Beobachtung. Darüber hinaus, Wissenschaft Anforderungen Konsistenz, die Astrologie kann nicht tun, wenn es hängt von der Stellungnahme des Betrachters. Die Prüfung muss von jedermann völlig wiederholbar. Viel Zeit. Es wurden Tests der Astrologie und die Forderungen. Angenommen, Sie sind die "Western"-Typ. Hier ist ein Link zu einer der bekannten Tests, die professionelle Astrologen geholfen Design. Am Ende sind weitere Veröffentlichungen. Es wurde Zeit und Geld für solche Tests. Sache ist, auch wenn Astrologen nicht ihre eigenen Tests, können sie nicht zugeben, dass sie falsch waren. Eine andere Sache, das ist falsch mit Astrologie. Es handelt sich um eine bigotte Konzept. Stereotype, pigeonholing, Kennzeichnung und Menschen. Auf der Grundlage von Geburtsdatum, dass niemand die Kontrolle über. Dadurch wird es ähnlich wie Rassismus und Sexismus. Aber für einen Gläubigen, es ist akzeptabel Bigotterie. Wie diese vorgefasste Annahmen kann nützlich sein, im Bereich der Psychologie ist nicht sinnvoll. Alles was Sie wollen, sagen mir, benutzen Sie bitte die E-Mail.

Wonderful read! I have got a single recommendation for your weblog. It appears like there are several style sheet troubles when launching a number of pages in google chrome and firefox. It is functioning fine in internet explorer. Maybe you can double check that. I’ve just added this post on digg.com to get a few more visitors to your web-site.

What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.
