> describing both the best aspects of an optimal religion
Nearly every major religion ever was primarily a function of community and culture. Religion mostly just brings people together and makes them talk. What they do afterwards is when things can go really well or really bad. It’s not “dishonest” to describe religion this way, it’s the main point of having a religion
By contrast astrology is all about you, your feelings, your life and your personal connection to some cosmic background, it has nothing to do with helping people or developing shared goals and everything to do with thinking the literal universe shifts and groans for you

And I say that as someone who believes neither in religion nor in astrology
- Biganon 3y agoI'm just someone who cherishes the quality of discussion on HN, something you obviously don't, since you've decided to take my remark personally and answer with a pathetic attempt at a personal attack, another mechanism that's frowned upon here (but very appreciated on reddit, maybe you could try going there instead?)
- subjectsigma 3y agoIf people like me stopped posting on HN, the only people left would be people like you, and this place would be even more insufferable. So you’ll just have to deal with me. Tell yourself it builds character or something
