Um, so?
If infidels.org can talk about religion ...
I guess anyone can talk about anything? Who'd have thunk that?

T'ai Chi, you dont really have to kill every joke on the board, do you?
The humor comes from all those "Past Life" and "Free Horoscope" advertisements featured on an Atheism/Agnosticism site. The Atheism/Agnosticism site is brought to you by none other than Astrology.com. Good Irony.

Ummm, I guess astrology actually does serve some useful purpose. Who would have thought?

I don't suppose anyone has sent this to Alainis Morrisette? She could use some help with the concept of irony.

There is a link to your horoscope, as brought to you by astrology.com. The horoscope link exists on many pages created by about.com, as astrology.com has paid them to do so. Presumably, atheism falls under a "metaphysics" heading or somesuch, and thus the astrology link appears due to "category preference matching".
Interesting juxtaposition. Not too ironic, though.

Everyone on this planet is controlled by the position of a star! And one moon. :eek:

It could be ironic... if she was getting married to a meteorologist... and he picked the date.
Perhaps that's what she meant to say.

I know Astrology is bunk, that free past life report is too tempting to pass up on!
