If a person commits suicide because of their zodiac, it wouldn't be actually be because of that, but pre-existing problems...
Aside from that I don't know what you're talking about, that isn't anything you couldn't learn off of google...
The zodiac isn't something I dabble in, because it could be labelled as "black magic." That's something that the Lord doesn't want me to meddle in.
You can, however, always Google it (as previously said).
The zodiac is often misinterpreted. The first thing that people think of is the astrology side of it. That isn't Christian, so I will not mess with it. But, the real reason for the constellations of the zodiac is that they are the twelve constellations that the Sun moves through over the course of the year. See, nothing Satanic about it!

Black Magic is something that is used to delibrately bring harm upon another and has serious concequences and Karma attached.
Do you even know what you are talking about how can you even think that the Zodiac could be labelled "black Magic"
There is nothing disturbing or bad about the zodiac. The Zodiac is what makes part of you depending on the position of the moon the time the day and date of your birth that is what makes up part of your personallity.

Astrology has nothing to do whether it is "Christian" or not. So if something in your eyes isn't "Christian" then its no good. Not everything in this world is about Christianity.
I was baptized and raised as a Roman Chatholic but I do not believe in "God" or church but in spriituality wich is a mixture of different Religious beliefs. "Christians" don't beleive in Angels are they bad too.
Gail I think the zodiac is useful in that it gives each sign some general characteristics which can be used to better understand people. Each sign has good and bad sides. Also, knowing signs is useful for sign compatibility.
I think that the Zodiac is basically a giant scam. Yes, I fit my birthsign pretty well - but I also fit most of the others pretty well too. How can spinning balls of rock and gas determind my personality? The movements they make, we see thousands, millions of years after they actually make them.
There was a Derren Brown trick a short while ago where he took a group of people in different cities across the world, and from their birth-date, a drawing of their hand, and a small personal belonging from about their person, he wrote a short essay on their personality.
One person said it was about 40% right, but ALL of the others said between 85% and 99%. Some of them were virtually in tears, at the deep secrets he'd guessed at, accurately.
He then revealled he'd given them all the same piece of paper. What does that tell you? We're more alike than we like to think. General statements that apply to all of us can easily seem eerily accurate.
If it helps people live their lives, then I suppose there's no reason they shouldn't go on believing it. But I never will.
I believe in God and not the zodiac...if it turns out that I am mistaken, what will it matter...I'll be dead anyway. Besides, I never heard of anyone's soul being saved by reading thier horoscope.
I'll keep my faith in the Lord.
I am a libra, which siggests I like equality and listeing to both sides of the argument, and romance. Very much true.
The very idea you are refering to the Sigsn of the zodiac as ssatanistic is incredibly obserd, am i right in thinking you think the stars are sacraligious?
OBSURD....and yes I find the Zodiac to be completely OBSURD.
Flame as you wish.
not saying i believe in the thing, just aying it is crazy saying it is black magic.
And sorry mr spelling freak
I never claimed that the zodiac was evil, satanic or a product of black magic....I simply don't believe in it and I place my faith in God....not the stars or someones interpretation of them. If you read any number of horoscopes they will all come out differantly according to the authers interpretation, God however is a constant.
If you chose to believe in the Zodiac, more power to you, it's just not for me.
Once again...flame me as you wish.

ABSURD. The Zodiac is ABSURD.
If you're going to be overly pedantic about spelling, at least get it right.

I'm sorry, I just saw this. As a matter of fact, I do believe in angels. The Bible leaves no doubt in my mind that angels do exist, and if you don't believe in God, then I hate to say this, but you're not a Christian. There isn't any gray area. It's either full and total belief in God, or nothing at all.
And you all seem to have misinterpreted me. I do not believe in the zodiac. It goes completely against my beliefs and is Satanic to my religion. End of statement. | Rocky3478 wrote: |

I don't if I would go so far as to say the Zodiac was Satanic, or even evil for that matter....it just doesn't work for me and is against my own personal religious beliefs. Now wheather I am right or wrong remains to be seen...I have been known to make mistakes 
But at least I will admit them and live up to the shame they may cause.
BTW...I also believe in Angels. My [Catholic] Confirmation name is "Gabriel", so I guess I got stuck with a real winner there. | Vrythramax wrote: |

Yes, I believe in God too and I'll keep my faith in the Lord too... because:
| Deuteronomy 18:10-12[KJV] wrote: |
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. |

Are you referring to merely God's existence here? | Vrythramax wrote: |
