Hi Rebecca,

It's great that you are really enjoying this comet but I honestly can't say that I see the comet as having anything to do with religion except perhaps as a source or wonder and awe at the universe. The constellations we know came into existence long before the birth of Christ and giving them Christian meanings is just revisionism as far as I'm concerned. I also don't hold with the idea that our future is written in the stars. I like the idea that we make our own futures and that we have free will to do what ever we want.

It's also very strange to hear a Christian talking about Astrology like that. I was under the impression most churches were against that kind of thing, the Vatican certainly is.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing your experiences and make the most of this great event and get out and observe it as much as you can!

Bart.
