This is one step removed from swinging a crystal from a piece of string and using it to divine the stock market. Absolute nonsense the lot of it, and a waste of good printing paper that would otherwise have better use as a instruction booklet for a TP-link router.

The same could have been said of Galileo studying cosmology at his time. "Better spend time taking care of his garden".

Don't read it if you dont like it but don't discourage people asking questions and making funny theories. Most of human progress wasdone that way about aspects of life that was not yet understood. Your attitude is nothing but nihilistic and it never built anything.

You're holding it upside down. Nobody earnestly believes in soothsaying, prophecy, or "magic missile" in this field - nobody worth your time anyway.

Most of the problem with the occult is that people have no idea what the fuck the words and vocabulary are actually referencing.

No, because one built a civilization and the other is actual nonsense

>>>No, because one built a civilization and the other is actual nonsense

If you believe the bible isn't superstitious nonsense then maybe you should say that directly.

"One built a civilization" describes a lot of religious books and seems to be a non sequitur.

Of course "The bible is like this occult book except the bible is true" isn't a very interesting argument.

This makes me realize that despite the association between the occult and horrible things. So many more people died in the name of the Bible.

The Bible may be the deadliest book ever written. It certainly built a thriving civilization, but it came at a cost.

> The Bible may be the deadliest book ever written.

Books are excuses for war that would have already happened. They would have just found other reasons if the Bible didn't exist.

Maybe that's one of the reasons they created the Bibble. Notice the word "created" and not "wrote".

The Romans built a civilization

Just about as nonsense as Plato and the cave allegory, I agree.
