            Whether you believe it or not, it’s not for you to condemn its very existence when it offers comfort to many, is frequently applied to liberation and radical politics, and has never once been responsible for genocides, colonization, crusades…>

            Cite some sources for this claim, not take it in a confrontational tone. These are things that personally affect me, I don’t claim they are inherently anything, but its destructive power is experienced by people who you claim to speak behalf of. Astrology is complex, indigenous, used for radical cause but you haven’t lived in a society that practice it. Your fascination is only due to it being regarded as superstition by the westerners.

                Do not conflict religion, astrology and spirituality. I did not appeal to ban anything, anyone can start a community here. Spirituality in post rev society should be discussed and studied. I asked to cite sources for astrology used for radical causes . In anything that I said never dismissed religion nor spirituality but only astrology.

                    Astrology is not spirituality for me and never will be. I can not wrap my head around these things. I don’t even know whether we are talking about same thing. You don’t need to use astrology for bad things, it in itself bad at what it profess to do. Use spirituality anyway you like. And do not put words in my mouth.
