Queer adults aren't just obsessed with astrology — they believe in it.

There is a story about George Martin, the Beatles producer, who did not think much of Ringo at first and even brought in a studio drummer for the recording of “Love Me Do”.

Several years later he admitted that during live shows and recording sessions other members of the band made mistakes here and there but he admitted he “never” heard Ringo make a mistake. He was always rock solid.

Underrated by many, but the better the drummer the more likely they respect Ringo as one of the greats.

From the article:

In the overall population, 30 percent of all U.S. adults reported consulting astrology, horoscopes, tarot cards, or fortune tellers at least once a year. Twenty percent said they engage in the practices “just for fun,” while 10 percent said they do it because they “believe the practices give them helpful insights.”

Queer adults “stand out,” the report states, as they are the “most likely of all the demographic subgroups analyzed in the survey to say they consult fortune tellers, tarot cards, or horoscopes to obtain helpful insights.”

The demon-possessed consult their "god" for guidance.

Desperately wanting validation for their poor choices. Tragic.

Satanism may lack moral seriousness—but it probably qualifies as a “religion”.

In fact that may be their religion.

Good point.

Satanism may take many paths, each with its own form, but they all lead to the same end: Ultimate Evil. Each path shows a devotion that, whether called belief or not, functions as belief—an allegiance held with deadly seriousness.

In the case of homosexuals, that branch of Satanism expresses itself through cult of sexual addiction. And they are powerfully serious about that.

I would suggest that the Democratic Party has become a kind of Satanic cult that expresses itself through devotion to a bizarre ideology (Satanic Leftism). And they are deadly serious about that.

Some people are interested in things like astrology, tarot, etc., as symbolical systems and systems of thought or philosophy.

Not everyone interested in them view them as mere ‘fortune-telling.’

(The Flat Earther types believe the stars are not many light years away but are “close” and “under the dome”.)

The Earth is a giant planetarium?

;)

I don’t totally understand their claims—but yeah sorta part planetarium part biodome is what I think their position is.

The religious ones take Genesis to be that God literally created this one biodome.

I am not an expert on this—but it may be that the early history of astrology was based on similar views.

If the stars were within the dome then they might somehow affect everything else in the dome.

Obviously they would have to believe the stars are much smaller than science says they are.

The New Age version seems to have gotten way off the rails—and as you said is internally contradictory—aside from many other problems.

Astrology is like fortune cookies.

Useless.

I remember biorhythms. Talk about arbitrary.
