General Discussion

(15,124 posts)"ghosts" and "sky spirits" and the like?
Anyone can choose to believe---or not---as they decide is best. But, predicting future events and defining another's personality and talents based on their personal beliefs is silly. It is the antithesis of rational thought.
I am sorry if that is considered "insulting", but I could choose to be insulted by those who insist that I share their respect for what they call their "beliefs". I would not respect a poster who insisted that such and such was sure to occur on November 3rd because "God had told them in great detail what will happen". Why should I respect similar predictions based on "Mercury's ascendancy"?
Finally, i did not "attack" any forum. I criticized posts read in General Discussion which assumed the relevance and reliability of astrologers' predictions.
I stand by that criticism.
