TM, if atheists don't believe in the biggest deal out there - god - how the heck do you expect us to believe in the smaller stuff like "Astrology, Horoscope, Palm-reading, Fortune-tellings"? I've zero time for such myths, that's why I threw all those things out into the same garbage dump I threw deities, heaven, angels and other such hogwash.
Also, think about this: weren't Joseph and Daniel (two chaps who are definitely going to be in heaven) fortune tellers and astrologers of sorts, seeing they both intepreted dreams and writings for the Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar (and his other babylonian kings)? In fact, Daniel was so damn good at this stuff, that in Daniel 5:11, we see that he was "made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers" by Nebuchadnezzar. Since Daniel was one of god's chosen ones depite being an "astrologer", why would god become a hypocrite and have beef with ME if I decided to believe in astrology or become an astrologer? In fact the bible says that Daniel was able to "astrologize" because god enabled him to do so. So why then would it be OK for Daniel but wrong for Cleo (for those of you not in the States, she's a famous TV astrologer)?
