I'm only doing one religious activity that I dont want to do...giving money to Christian preachers...I'm doing an experiment where I stop giving them money to see if that will stop this run of insane bad luck.
Regarding the occult:
I read about astrology all the time, it doesnt affect me because I dont feel guilty about it.
Probably not the encouragement you are looking for, I'm going to say that ain't the way it works.
On either the money or the astrology.
If a person truly is moving closer to Christ in this world it is often found that dis-incentives to do so begin to be thrown in to their life by a power in this world who is vehemently opposed to people moving that direction.
Any use of the occult is pretty much signing a permission slip for that opposing power to enter your life and times and being, so, yes, it does affect you and your life.
