    Astrology is predicated on the idea of higher powers existing.

    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

        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.
