Here's his Wiki bio
This is not saying much. Search and you find a large amount of people believing in astrology.
If you call 27% of Americans a "large amount"...I guess you're right. 51% say it's B.S.'
Religion, reduced in rank to the level of Astrology - where it belongs.
I dabbled in a lot of that woo in the 70's, tarot, astrology/ charting & etc ....I was in demand for tarot readings and offered a lot of money more than once from referrals (which I 100% refused). Once or twice I did "see" something, scared me enough to give it all up....HOWEVER, the actual truth is, 99% of the time you can say pretty much Any damn thing and people will nod their head AS IF you have insight.
That's why the Daily Horoscope has enduring appeal....
I think most of us "dabbled" in both Astrology and religion. Becoming agnostic is a slow process - an evolution, not a revolution.
Damn, have you any idea how many arse-holes not only believe in astrology, but live their lives by it?
Arse-holes....such a polite way to put it!
