    Well, it feels like that to me too, but the fact is that there are intelligent people who do believe in them. So although I'm still convinced that horoscopes are piffle, I accept that believing in them doesn't automatically mean that someone's irrational. After all, I'd like atheists to accept that I can be intelligent and rational and believe in God, so it cuts both ways. :D
    Nah. I might accept some high fallutin' argument about theology, but horoscopes? Pull the other one.

    I didn't go so far as to say that their belief in horoscopes was rational, just that they might nevertheless be intelligent and rational people. ;)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    OK, I'll digress slightly into ley lines. Now I don't know much about them but I am prepared to allow a small amount of 'possiblity' into my thinking about people who get stoned and naked on ancient monuments. There may be some good come out of that.
