There's nothing wrong with seeing more in a lunar eclipse than a 'neat light show'.
You may think finding meaning in otherwise spiritless and mechanical processes is a 'vestige of our less enlightened past', but I think it's what makes us human and our lives worth living.
Though there are of course some poor fools who scrabble for meaning and significance in real things. How empty their lives must be, compared to one who knows that the blood moon is a sign to spill the bowels of the unbeliever upon the altars of Baal-Hamon, Lord of the Multitude.
