    Provide literally any evidence a god or souls exist

    You’re pushing the issue back. Astrology isn’t bullshit because you think it’s reasonable for a god to create souls that way. But how do we know that god exists, and that he actually does create souls in this manner.

      Astrology is predicated on the idea of higher powers existing. Astrology was created at a time when people thought the planet Jupiter was a literal god in the sky.

        That doesn’t make it not bullshit. If anything that makes it sound more bullshit to me. If you’re saying it’s not bullshit, why? What reason do you have?

          If Astrology = True Then Higher Power = True Therefore Lazy higher power would make astrology

            Okay. How do you know astrology is true?

            Therefore Lazy higher power would make astrology

            You have one premise and two conclusions. I’d argue a higher power existing should also be a premise and not a conclusion, given that it sounds like its necessary for astrology to work.

            Thank you for clarifying, because when you say a lazy higher power could have used astrology it sounds like you are basing the reason for why you believe in astrology because you think there’s a lazy higher power.
