Astrologers: Solar Eclipse Will Cause World Violence...

This week's solar eclipse has Indian astrologers predicting violence and turmoil across the world, AFP reported.
In Hindu mythology, the two demons Rahu and Ketu are said to "swallow" the sun during eclipses. It takes the life-giving life and causes food to become inedile and water undrinkable, AFP reported.
Mothers-to-be are told to stay inside so their baby doesn't develop birth defects and some are worried a major world catastrophe will take place.
Raj Kumar Sharma, a Mumbai astrologer, told AFP, "some sort of attack by (Kashmiri separatists) Jaish-e-Mohammad or Al Qaeda on Indian soil" and a devastating natural disaster in Southeast Asia.
But, scientists and astronomers are trying to downplay the claims, saying Wednesday's eclipse is a nature occurrence.

My question is, how can this be made into a global warming phenomenon?

I remember reading about one of the first Muslim invaders of India - his opposition was a Hindu king who should have been able to repel the Muslims easily. But his astrologers kept telling him to wait for an auspicious day to make his stand. While he was waiting for the stars and planets to align, the Muslims conquered his city and killed the king and his astrologers, along with most of the population.
Astrology is pure nonsense. You'd think history would have taught every Indian that.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.
1.) There will be a total solar eclipse.
2.) It will be followed by violence somewhere in the world.
3.) Therefore, the eclipse caused the violence.
Somewhere Jeanne Dixon chuckles softly.

Not to hijack, but I just watched that as well. Stoopid movie. It was pretty much okay until the flaming moose, but when it turned out to be aliens!, well let’s just say our house busted out laughing.

I did like the movie, and I think it touched on some biblical prophecy...The Aliens I think were suppose to be Angels that were taking the Kids (Rapture) to heaven to start over, the tree of Life..
Earth was left to endure the tribulation....

In the context of predicting violence it would be hard to not imply allah.

Just figure that with every Lunar Eclipse, somewhere white hunters are being magically saved from jungle natives.

No. It can, and probably will, get much worse.
Think of it this way: Getting a pink slip is not the worst thing that can happen. The worst thing is the chain of events that can follow that event. It is merely the beginning of trouble.
