This doesn't apply to our resident fundies for obvious reasons.

When I was in my midtwenties I was an astrology nut for a year...I really believed the stuff...no clue why...

Your turn gents...
I hate the State.

I'm not an atheist, but astrology is something i believed in up to my late teens.  Then after reading my horoscope one day i factored in the 12 signs and the amount of people in the world and came to the conclusion there was no way 500,000,000 people all of whom were born in the same 30 day period during a year were going to have the same day was supposed to have.   ;D

Nope.

With the grace of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I was able to overcome the false and idolatrous beliefs of the Christians, and worship the one and only true Lord, the Noodly One!

I wasn't talking about Sun Sign astrology but rather the very complicated one that is composed on ascendants, moons, mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, houses, squares, triangles and all sorts of things...the crap you are talking about is Sun Sign astrology.

Here, if you know your exact time of birth, day and location you can also have an exact horoscope...

Yeah, done that before to.......Same difference IMO. ;D

BTW  Sun Sign astrology is based on the procession of the equinox i think which is every 2200 and some odd years.

I once believed that Jonah had gone for a ride in the belly of a whale.
