Religious thinking

Following a link from GetReligion, I saw that a Seattle Parish Offers Astrology Workshop.

I am not happy about this. I can handle all sorts of unorthodox thinking in the Episcopal Church. E.g., for decades I have been going to churches that are very welcoming of gays and lesbians, and sometimes have gay and lesbian clergy.

However, this is different. I do not consider astrology to be thinking.

Work Update–Biblical Reference

I was thinking about my manager at work, who has made my job so unpleasant in the last 18 or so months, and about his new boss, who promises to be even worse. This verse (1 Kings 12:11) came to mind:

And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
