Superstition
10-24-08
Have you ever spilt salt? Bad, luck right? Well if you believe it, then go on ahead and counter it.
Spilling salt is one, of many superstition that have survived to this day. Superstition is pretty much anything that you believe in, especially if there is evidence against it.
So if superstition is anything that is simply believed in, many religions are just a lot of superstitions that have been grouped together under one name.
Of course, that means that just having simple faith doesn’t count much to some people. They all think that it’s just a bunch of superstitions.
So, how superstition plays a part in my life? I think I have already made it clear. Yeah, if your afraid of black cats (and I’m warning you one of my cats is black), or sometimes you avoid stepping on the cracks in the parking lot or on the sidewalk, then that’s all right.
But if you’re just using “Superstition” as an excuse to not have faith, or receive the gospel. Then you have a few problems to figure out.
So in final conclusion, superstition is fine. But like a whole lot of things, if it is used wrong. It has crossed a line and is no longer innocent fun, and then it isn’t fun at all.

These are interesting things to think about. We still have superstitions today. We blow out candles on a birthday cake for a wish, we blow errant eyelashes for a wish, and we knock on wood when we notice something going well to stave off Murphy's Law (if something can go wrong, it will).
