Hey barbie, I just want to reiterate again I was not trying to argue with you or attack you in anyway. I was just curious. Sorry if it was too personal of a question. You can let me know if you are uncomfortable with my questions. I don't like to argue with people unless I really feel violated in some way, then I will handle them lol. The reason why I asked is because I grew up in a religious family and it was always conveyed to me that any form of divination was against the Bible. Maybe that was not the case in your home or at your place of worship, and if not then thats great to hear. Honestly, I never thought 10 years ago that I could ever possibly have the interests I do now. I'm into tarot, astrology, runes, meditation, astral projection, past lives, etc. I seriously would have thought I might go to hell for all this when I was a child. Seriously lol. Its sad but thats the environment I grew up in. Obviously I have moved past all that though. Anyways, I didn't mean psychic literally, thats just what my mom refers to it as. She thinks its all psychic evil stuff. She doesn't differentiate. I respect your beliefs and all, and the fact that you are open minded as a religous person. I mean, some people even say the wise men used astrology. Who knows? Anyways, I was just curious because astrology seems so incompatible with the Bible and Christianity. People were burned at the stake for this kind of stuff only a few centuries ago. I respect people who can think outside of the box and all, although I do feel the beliefs might be a bit contradictory if you are into astrology and are a Christian as well. You seem adamant to defend your beliefs but you do sort of need to support them better. Its healthy in a discussion for people to challenge you or bring in new perspectives. You shouldn't take it personally. If they are personally attacking you then that invalidates a lot of what they are saying and you shouldn't take it seriously. And if you are being attacked by people, just know you aren't being persecuted for your religious beliefs. You aren't a victim here. It is how you are delivering your message to people that is the cause of all the negative feedback you have been getting.Peace, elixir IP: Logged |

By the way, you don't need to tell people you are praying for them. Just pray for them, then. When you say it, it gives off a holier-than-thou impression.IP: Logged |

Prayer is a thing of beauty, & wasn't it a Star that led the Wise Men to Jesus?  IP: Logged |

I was completely disrespected personally by a few people in this topic. When it comes to religion for now on I will bite my tongue on it. All of the fighting and arguing just isn't worth my time. Thank you for your comment I'll hold a few things in mind. I meant absolutely no disrespect when I said I'd pray for people. It's a beautiful thing to me and many other people in this world. I just wish some were more respectful but hey at the end of the day what am I or any of us gonna do. This is an astrology forum where people say what they want. I'm done fighting and bickering with people. IP: Logged |

I know what you are saying, what i ment is you can't say things like 'only god can judge me' and 'go read a bible' and expect people not to express their opinions on religion, Like Scorpios and Capricorns, then say they are being disrespectful, if you get what i mean? Not starting an argument just had to say that.  IP: Logged |

That's good cause http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q9rewnLFYw It would be nice if astrology became widely accepted and respected but it's not necessary for me to keep on being passionate about it. It works for me and I won't hesitate to use it, I'm a Capricorn after all They can say it's rubbish, I don't give a damn. ------------------ I'm sooo happy! I mean, cappy. IP: Logged |
