If someone mocks having trust in God the only assumption one can get to is that they're an atheist. what else was I supposed to think?

As to me mocking Astrology, it was more tongue in cheek than anything, I actually think there is some some (though not much) merit to it, in my mind is basically just pattern recognition, and this pattern is of the order that rules everything, and trickles down even to something as when and where someone is born.

It's a poor replacement for personal religious experience.
