[QUOTE="razzelflabben, post: 53984939, member: 17476"] I keep seeing comments like "including yours" but fail to recall anyone asking me what I believe or if I have demons....a certainly don't recall sharing with anyone what I believe about God or demons, so how would you, how could you possibly know if it includes mine or not? As to the point of the post, there is a difference between superstitions and religious beliefs, all of them, that is not to say they cannot overlap, obviously they can in the case of voodoo/catholasim. But they are not the same thing... websters~superstition~[B]1 a[/B] [B]:[/B] a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation [B]b[/B] [B]:[/B] an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition [B]2[/B] [B]:[/B] a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary religion~[B]1 a[/B] [B]:[/B] the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion> [I]b [/I][I](1)[/I] [B]:[/B] the service and worship of God or the supernatural [I](2)[/I] [B]:[/B] commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance [B]2[/B] [B]:[/B] a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices [B]3[/B] [I]archaic[/I] [B]:[/B] scrupulous conformity [B]:[/B] [URL="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conscientiousness"]conscientiousness[/URL] [B]4[/B] [B]:[/B] a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith To take it further and answer the unasked question of what I believe, Superstitions usually revolve around a variety of ritualistic things we can do to appease a god/gods/God...what I believe is that God cannot be appeased, that we need a relationship with the living God, not a ritual of appeasement because that does not please HIm, only relationship pleases, just as love returned by my husband or children would please me (that is for clarification before you try to twist it to mean appeasement of service....
