Astrology is bullshit

Monday, 23 March 2009

I think astrology is a load of fresh steaming bullshit. Seriously, how can a bunch of gas and rocks floating around in space have anything to do with my life?

Aside from the tidal effect or the occasional meteorite, stuff in space has little influence on people. You can’t even feel the effects of say, Jupiter’s gravitational field even if you were extremely obese and weighed as much as an overflowing garbage truck.

This has nothing to do with my life.

Astrology has its roots in ancient times when folks needed a means of understanding the universe and people around them. This was of course before people realised that the world isn’t flat and Freud blamed your parents for all your personality faults.

Nonetheless, we now live in a time where science has revealed stars and planets to be nothing more than gas, rocks and dust held together by gravity. Several astronauts plonked their arses down on the moon and proved that it is a lifeless chunk of rock and dust. The goddamn Berlin wall came down and women are entitled to equal rights in the work place.

The modern era, motherfuckers.

Yet there are still plenty of people who have the asinine notion that astrology has a direct impact on one’s personality.

That’s tantamount to believing that 1/12th of the entire human population (a whopping 558 million people) are doomed to be certified dickheads just because they had the misfortune to be born within a certain timeframe.

“Yeah, you’re Aries so you’re bound to be extreme, arrogant, intemperate, violent, headstrong, and impulsive.” (I’m not making this shit up - it’s from Wikipedia)

Is it just me or is that uncomfortably close to saying things like, “You’re black so you steal shit all the time,” or, “Hey chink, I know you’re a stingy pencil-dicked wanker”?

Gross baseless generalizations always make you look like a moron. Period.

Anyway, as I am a certified raging dickhead regardless of my zodiac sign I’m going to prove once and for all that astrology is complete bullshit.

However I’m going to make you wait for it. So stay tuned for tomorrow’s post. It’ll be an interesting one.

Edit: The next post is up! Proof that astrology is bullshit.

Here’s a possible way astrology might not be bullshit…

Thank You Sooooooooooo Much.

No yiou’re definitely not a dumb dickhead.

Thank you for showing the truth and rationality.

The idea was absolutely awesome.

It really takes guts to think differently, to see the bare truth when so many people are just crazily patronizing a sham.

Please do write a new article. I just loved reading it. You’re amazing. For the first time , I’m feeling actually happy reading a page with the word “zodiac” in it.

You’re absolutely right.

Please do write another article. It feels so positively uplifting to read them.

Just ignore the stupid comments from dumb people with nothing to do than behaving like narrow minded clannish groups.

Continue the good work!!!

Welldone!!!
