Wouldn't it make more sense for you to define astrology rather than have us take a guess as to what your definition of astrology is? Then we can skip the whole formality of you telling us we have the wrong definition of astrology and get right to the meat and potatoes of whether or not there is any validity to astrology as you define it.  |
Now see when I wrote that I had a pretty good idea where this was headed and actually edited it before posting. The bold below I had momentarily, but then decided that might be a bit too inflamatoryat that point in the thread:

Then we can skip the whole formality of you telling us we have the wrong definition of astrology (which is really the point - a chance for you to score cheap and meaningless points early in the debate) and get right to the meat and potatoes of whether or not there is any validity to astrology as you define it.

However after this:

it is clear that in fact that was the first intent. Now I have a question for Hekate. Does it not seem that there is a standard definition of astrology that most people are familiar with and kindly provided by ToSeek? I'm unfamiliar with any arguments in support of the "horoscope" astrology that would give reason to think it is anything other than nonsense.
However, you seem to be implying that you have a different definition of astrology - one that perhaps we are not familiar with. So again I ask - wouldn't it make more sense for you to share that definition with us? We could go on for many moons inventing definitions of astrology in a vain effort to hit upon the definition that you subscribe to. Yes we are ignorant of whatever definition
you hold to be the definition of astrology. And we will remains so until you share that definition. Withholding your definition in some game of "see how ignorant you all are" would seem to be counter-productive to your goal of educating us.
