Some things are and some things are not... This is an are not kinda thing. Yeah. Astrology is not. Is not valid. Is not true. Is not correct. Is not accurate. And is not deserving of respect by any rational person. |

Im having a difficult time understanding where you are coming from. or what is your point here.. pseudo-science and "new-agism" are totally different..that you might not agree with the latter has nothing to do, IMO, with pseudo-science, unless you throw in meditation, chakras, ear-waxing, macrobiotics, biorythim, etc...in which case those are designed to create biological changes in the human body... spirituality is still a personal belief which no one really has a right to judge as valid or not. My point is that no belief should be accepted without scientific evidence, regardless of what the belief happens to be. No claim gets special privileges simply because it hides behind the veil of spirituality. There are plenty of New Age beliefs that fall into the pseudoscience category. The existence of chakras, for example, is not supported by empirical evidence, and should thus be considered invalid. |

A belief is far different from a diagnosis or a judicial sentence...one is diagnosed by a professional who is trained to seek out specific pathologies, judicial sentences come when one is judged by a jury of one's peers for breaking certain socially adopted laws Beliefs are personal, based on individual creedences.. You are comparing apples to oranges in your statement What if a doctor has a personal belief that sawdust cures cancer? It might not be generally accepted by the medical community, but should it still be respected? |

Who am I to place a value on what is or isnt legitimate? If nobody distinguished between legitimacy and everything else, then how would we prescribe medicine, sentence criminals, or teach children in school? If all beliefs are equal and deserving of respect, then why do we put people in mental hospitals? |

...yeah we have a lot of multidimensional belief systems on this site..it would not be a good place to go getin pissy on peoples belief systems...I am a witch does that tell you anything...some of what you mentioned is part of the pagan belief system...most of us are here to make friends not enemies.... ![]() ![]() I wouldn't say that any of those things are inherent parts of Paganism. But regardless, I didn't specify which side of the arguments I was on. I'm just curious about whether people reject them all equally or discriminate among them. |

Astrology, homeopathy, dowsing, faith healing, psychics, mediums, creationism/Intelligent Design, feng shui, Ouija boards...
I've gotten into arguments about almost all of these. Do you pick and choose which to consider valid, or do you reject them all? |
