Well, nice forum. I was looking for such a forum...really.
But enough with the courtesies. I have noticed some critisims against Astrology. Mostly from people who have not got a single clue on what Astrology actually is.
And since they have not got a single clue, they somehow have managed to mistake all these pseudo-astrologers for astrologers. And somehow they are under the impression that critisizing the irrationality of the pseudos, is a valid critisism on...Astrology!
Now, one cannot critisize negatively the science of medicine by pointing at non-doctors, right? Or the science of philosophy by pointing out the mistakes and irrationalities of non-philosophers, right? In addition, in the science of medicine there can be found many incompetent doctors but this does not mean that medicine is some fake and unworthy, does it?
So, first of all, to critisize Astrology, one has first to know what Astrology is about. Which is not the case if I judge from your posts.
Now, the challenge:
I invite you to seriously debate with me, on Astrology, according to the principles of logical debate. But I will only discuss with the best among you. You have to know well philosophy, theology, mathematics, geometry, music & harmony. You are required to have a profound knowledge of polytheistic religions, especially the ancient Hellenic, since Astrology originated and developed in the Hellenic civilisation.
Tip:
Define Astrology. All things begin with their definitions. And the definitions begins with their names. Define Astrology. I do not want to hear irrationalities such as "a divination system" and other hilarious stuff.
2nd Tip:
Do not mistake pseudo-astrologers with actual astrologers. Astrology is a polytheistic science and cannot be comprehended outside its frame-of-reference. Christian atheists and the likes cannot be astrologers, since they have a very different cosmology and have never taken any serious approach to polytheism.
3rd Tip:
Astrology always calculates the exact stellar positions in a horoscope. This tropical fraud thing is not Astrology, but a nice way for christians to waste their time.
So...do you have what it takes to debate with me?
