Here is the definion of supertition:
NOUN:
1. An irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome.
2.
(A) A belief, practice, or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance.
(B) A fearful or abject state of mind resulting from such ignorance or irrationality.
(C) Idolatry.
From the encyclapedia:
superstition:
an irrational belief or practice resulting from ignorance or fear of the unknown. The validity of superstitions is based on belief in the power of magic and witchcraft and in such invisible forces as spirits and demons. A common superstition in the Middle Ages was that the devil could enter a person during that unguarded moment when that person was sneezing; this could be avoided if anyone present immediately appealed to the name of God. The tradition of saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes still remains today.
I don't believe in superstition. I just thought it would be cool to talk about it for a while. Do you believe in superstition?
