I think that believing in God is more plausible than believing in astrology.

So do you belive in god then?

I'm agnostic.

The term agnostic is also used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as about other matters of religion.

Where do you stand, unconvinced or non-committal?

Talk about splitting hairs.

I personally don't see how the current star positions, mixed with your birthday can determine your personality.

Saying that though, parts of Leo does sound like me

In the middle of those two.

I believe that it's impossible to ever have certain knowledge about the existence of entities that don't impact on the physical, measurable world.

But the Bible says it's true, so nerr.

You mean this..

Strong agnosticism (also called hard agnosticism, closed agnosticism, strict agnosticism, absolute agnosticism)—the view that the question of the existence or nonexistence of god(s) are unknowable by nature or that human beings are ill-equipped to judge the evidence.

Im asking all of those question as per god because, I think if you dismiss astrology and star signs but think or have thinking along the lines of god might possibly exist then astrology shouldnt be fully dismissed.

Arcade Fire · 11 Jan 2007 at 20:04

Damn.

Did I mention that despite my proclaimed agnosticism, I still think that any religion which claims to know something of the nature of God is utterly wrong, and completely misguided?

Not true. The existence of God is not scientifically testable. Astrology, on the other hand, makes predictions as to what the future will be like. We can test those predictions (by e.g. comparing them to similar, but completely made up predictions) and if the astrologer's predictions don't perform any better than some random crap that I just made up (and they don't) then that's good evidence that astrology is a load of nonsense.

astrology is crap and can be proven to be crap - people who believe in it are morons - i'm sure i've already said that.

I'm curious when you're going to answer my comments about Astrology, particularly I'm very interested how on earth a star millions of years dead has any impact on my life today?

My bad. I can only debate for a length of time before i become tired. Let's save ourselves the hassle and let me say this. I dont fully dismiss it nor do i fully belive in it.

not usually, but the last one I read was pretty accurate

Yes, I actually do

I have no idea how it works, but different sun signs really do behave according to type.

Arcade Fire · 12 Jan 2007 at 15:41

What makes you think that?

I don't think that any more needs to be said.
