Not sure if this should be here or in Science and Skepticism. Anyhoo..............

Just stumbled across the following article. I mean, astrology is now regarded as evidence?

Seems right to me.

Think how this would change the fundy churches if it could be proved.

My bullshit-o-meter is registering off the charts. A)Astrology!?!? Nuff said. B)We have insufficient evidence about an historical Jesus to say much of anything.

. . . a Brisbane academic says. . . . "one or two queer theologians" had attempted to argue Jesus was gay in the past.

"People haven't taken them very seriously because they don't have any evidence and they say things so sensationally that people are not really going to listen or just be very angry," Dr McCleary told ABC radio.

"What I'm doing is showing a much more theological and also astrological dimension on all this which will make a lot more sense to people."

Theology and astrology both make an equal amount of sense.

You mean to say Jesus sneaked into Galillee illegally?

Nobody said anything about "illegal entry". He coulda had a green card and still been an alien. Or, just been carrying his passport.

The only thing more anethema to truth than a cynic is a creative one.

Doubtless the readers and writers of such unsupported nonsense still gather on Mars Hill since they have nothing better to do than "hear and tell something new."
