Why are women magical thinkers then men but men are more devoted? (long post)

[anonymousyamParticipant 4605]

Woman’s magazines and newspapers have entire sections dedicated to astrology. Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. To sum of the beliefs of astrology basically they believe that the position of the planets and the stars have an effect on their destiny, (Such as their marriage, their personality, their character, and their future) It is not a logical belief and has been debunked in the scientific community.

Not only women are into astrology but they also consult more fortune tellers then men. It is noted that astrology is fortune telling but there is a wider world of the magical beliefs then just simply astrology, (Tarot card reading, palm reading, parrot astrology, the cystal ball, and hydromancy). These are also beliefs more women subsribe to compared to men. These are not found in science nor are they proven to be true or accurate.

So not just with the fortune telling but women are more religious then men. With women making up a majority of the church attendance in america. With 69% of women compared to 31% of men. Religion is magical thinking because they believe that god made them so special that he sent his own kin to be tortured for YOU because he loved YOU so much. Those women who do go to church leave out the unkind parts of the bible (God killing everyone but noah and his family, god commands the hebrews to kill everyone of the opposing tribe including the animals, and gods promise to eternally punish everyone who does not believe).

And the final part is the one saying the men are more devoted to religion then women. Men are more likely to be hold off sex till marriage, They are more likely to give up meats on friday for lent. And they are more likely to devote their lives to their god.

So why are women more magical thinkers then men? is it due to being unable to accept death? Or is it more of a way of thought? i was in a hurry too finish this one.

I have found that women definitely tend to focus on whatever warm fuzzy feelings they can find in the Bible to the neglect of some of the other important things. They don’t tend to delve deeply into doctrine from what I have seen.

As someone who is very devoted to my faith (Christian), I believe that one of the greatest factors driving the mass exodus of youth from the Church is the influence of the secular public school system, combined with absent or ineffective parents. Girls tend to be more social than boys, and so they are more easily influenced by their peers. When it becomes uncool to be abstinent and devoted to their relationship with God, or when it becomes uncool to be committed to pleasing their husbands and being productive partners in the relationship who bring something to the table, girls are, IMHO, much more easily influenced than boys.

Of course, I also know plenty of girls who are staunchly committed to their beliefs, and even participate in apologetics. They are out there, but I would say that they are certainly the minority. Most public-schooled Christian girls I know would probably end up having an emotional break down if confronted by a rabid atheist.

Women think this way because it’s subjective and they can never be wrong OR have to prove that they are right. That aspect alone fits into their fairy-tale and fantasy life-styles. It is so f~~~ed up how women think in relation to things like tarot cards, ouija boards and astrology. I knew a woman who was into the whole tarot card thing and she would constantly do “readings” and would keep doing them until the “reading” had confirmed a past experience, agreed with how she felt or gave a positive “reading” that favored her.

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

I’ve always been more of a science guy than a religious one. With that being said, I do consider myself a Zen Buddhist.

I’m also in favor of a more secular government because even though it has it’s bad sides, it has it’s good sides as well such as the freedom to believe whatever you want to believe.

Know why women love Astrology? Because they watch retarded movies like, “The Notebook,” and “Twilight saga.” They believe life is a fantasy. The joke is on them. LMFAO.

Woman are immoral and incapable of thinking beyond their selfish emotions, men are noble and pragmatically logical, men operate on rational reason.

When the war cemeteries are half full of the corpses of dead conscripted women, only then will women have earned the right to speak of equality. Sidecar “A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” - Bob Dylan

Actually, governments in general tend to grow larger and larger over time. We’ve seen this over and over again, from the Roman Empire to Communist Russia to the United States to Great Britain. Besides, if one government doesn’t grow, then eventually another country with a strong and aggressive government will wage war against it, forcing the smaller country’s government to grow as well, whether or not they lose the war. Eventually, someone evil will take power and the government will become more oppressive. The only thing that stops corruption is morality, and it is my humble opinion that no man has any right to claim one morality over another unless he has a true and infallible authority behind his claims. For Christians, this is God.

Well, I wouldn’t want to live under a theocracy or a religious government no matter which religion it was. I prefer the freedom to believe whatever the f~~~ you want to believe no matter how illogical it may some to other people.

This leaves freedom to discuss various ideas among its citizens. That being said, I do finds thing such as astrology, tarot card reading, palm reading, etc. To be highly ridiculous.

The definition of a theocracy (as copied and pasted from Merriam-Webster.com) is: “government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided”.
This definitely would include places such as Iran, where religious leaders prevail, or in tribal places in Africa, where witch doctors are in charge, but when religion is included as a basis for morality in a government (U.S. Constitution, most if not all U.S. state constitutions), it often works out much better than straight secular government. The key is to have true morality in religion. I can’t think of a single first-world country today that qualifies as a theocracy, but the greatest one in the world, America, was founded as a “religious government”, and it would appear that the founders did something right, as it has been quite a success until the recent past.

Also, if Christians actually follow the Bible’s teaching, they would avoid legislating their beliefs over the people’s will in most cases (e.g. gay marriage). The only exception I can think of right now is the issue of abortion, which is not only arguably the greatest pussy-pass of all time, but is also murder in the eyes of most Christians.

Respect to your opinions, but I just figured I’d weigh in on the issues.

God Bless!
