superstition

Many people in our country still believe in superstition. please comment

hai. Its so frustrating in India when people still believe that something bad will happen if a black cat crosses their way. Disgusting. Stand facing the east if u receive anything from anybody especially in south indian orthodox family etc

😆 I think old wives tales are just so fun to hear. I get amused when I see people not eating meat on certain days. Here in America too, Catholics don't eat Chicken on certain sundays.
It's bad luck to walk under a ladder. This came from the early Christian belief that a leaning ladder formed a triangle with the wall and ground. You must never violate the Holy Trinity by walking through a triangle, lest you be considered in league with the devil. (And you all know what good Christians did to people they suspected of being in league with the devil.)
During the sixth century, it was customary to congratulate people who sneezed because they were expelling evil from their bodies. Later, when a great plague took hold of Europe, and people began sneezing violently, the Pope passed a law. Since sneezing meant that the person was going to die of plague, people were required to bless the sneezer.

The biggest superstition is Christmas. Christ was not even born that day and Christmas tree has nothing to do any of this. There is no historical evidence that Christ was born on December 25th. December 25th was officially adopted by Bishop Liberius of Rome in 354. December 25th occurs during the rainy season in the Holy Land, so it is highly unlikely that shepherds would be outside in their pastures. The Hayden Planetarium in New York recreated the heavens as they were in the time that Christ was allegedly born. Although nothing spectacular happened in the skies on the date of Christ's birth, the Planetarium went back to the year 6 B.C. On that date, there were three stars in close proximity which created a spectacularly bright beacon, which may account for the stories of the Star of Bethlehem. The most plausible reason that December 25 was chosen as a day to celebrate Christ's birth was that the Christian fathers were trying to compete with another growing religion, Mithraism - the worship of a sun god - whose holy day was also December 25.

It's surprisingly accurate at times.

I don't really believe in superstition. But I find it kinda funny. Here are some examples:-
1) Spilling salt
2) Walking under a ladder
3) Black cats
4) Breaking glass
5) Stepping on a crack

My dad told me aeroplanes don't have row number 13. I didn't believe him but I looked at an aeroplane seatmap online and I knew he was right.

Oh and by the way, I used to live on the 13th floor in my apt. block

i just trust Almighty God as nothing good or bad can happen against His will and lead a carefree life!

Superstition is just a thought in ones mind that if they do something a certain way it will turn out positive. A routine per se.

If I had to run a mile and had succeeded in the past. I would run it the same way I had before. That would be defined as superstition as well. So I believe it is nothing more than a perfect routine.

I belive in it for fun! 😆
