We just have mutually exclusive eschatological POVs :)

That's a gracious reply. I'll concur that eschatology is not (yet) central to Christian orthodoxy. However, as the church grows in wisdom and experience over the centuries, her boundaries become sharper, clearer. In another hundred years, for example, our grandchildren will view public education the same way that we view American chattel slavery, as an unthinkable horror, an inexplicable riddle. "What must they have been smoking to put up with that?"

There's quite a bit of evidence available to indicate that fortune telling is bad for the church's health, a hobby that only gains influence during seasons of reversal. That fades during seasons of reformation.
