The Evidence Required Is?

[The Grand Nudger]

But my life doesn't revolve around supporting or demolishing claims.
I totally Agree that skepticism is very important, esp. in this day in age when there's so much bullshit and deception out there!

I think you equate Buddhism with other religions too much. The Dalai Lama himself said quite surprisingly that Buddhism is not a religion, but a science. I view it as an ancient psychology.

I have recently been studying some Astrology lately. I am finding alot of interesting details in it that gives it more credence than I ever imagined before. I was just wondering what you might think of it.

Contrary to what you might think, I am not a blind faith believer in things at all. Yet I might have a somewhat overactive imagination lol. peace.

There's always been this much. If the very first word spoken wasn't a lie, it was probably pretty damned close.

I equate buddhism with other religion insomuch as buddhists make claims that are similar to other religions, and act in a similar manner to adherents of other faiths. Again, the Dalai Lama gives you every reason to be skeptical with claims like that. Buddhism is not a science. You may view it as such, but such it is not. Fairy tales given an undeserved amount of respect is what it is.

I love astrology, complete bullshit, but hilariously fun to do natal charts. Parker's astrology is what you want, if you're interested.

Then use your imagination to create a scenario in which I am only attempting to help you be a better buddhist (you may not have to use too much imagine for that). If you really wish to go deep into the realm of introspection, then you should be devouring every bit of information we have regarding how unreliable (and downright malicious) our own introspective flights of fancy can become. If you want to develop a talent, you need to know the shortcomings of the toolkit.
