Who is superstitious here?

Name your superstition

Define superstition.

I'm terrified of things that don't exist.

Uh... Nah.

i dont like seeing the numbers 911 on my clock.

This begs the question if religious people are superstitious or not. Or does it go both ways?

I believe in ghost because whenever i would goto my moms id be sitting on the couch or laying down and suddenly there was this sound of someone running across the room but everyone was asleep. Also i had to sleep in one of the rooms and i didnt want to look into the other room which was all dark so i pulled the curtain seperating the rooms over to the other side i heard some knocking so i looked over and the curtain was pulled all the way over ( no one was in the other room) also ive seen the doors randomly open even when thy're fully closed so i got reason to believe.

I see dead people

I do not consider myself superstitious, but I can see how others might.

I think it depends,I view religion as superstition but religious people may see it differently

Well, I'm somewhat of a relegious person, but I do not believe that stuff like seeing a black cat cross you means bad luck or breaking a mirror would mean you have 7 years of bad luck.... However, I do believe in karma. The saying, "what comes around goes around." and so forth.

I've heard that one before ;)

<------- not superstitious

I am religious (don't know if you would call that superstitious)

I believe in demons and possessions so a little bit. But most superstitious stuff (Karma, Ghosts, Black Cats, Ladders ect is just insane)

"Yet demons and possession isn't?"

I wouldn't call myself superstitious, but I've seen and learned enough to be open-minded to the unknown. With that being said, fear of the number 13 is a bunch of hooey and the dark has plenty in it to be afraid of.

I've got to agree with the first part.

I don't really believe in possession and stuff (at least not at the moment),but I've definitely seen enough to see that it's not really a stretch to believe.Also an up-side is being open minded.There were hundreds of things that we thought were impossible and superstition to exist at all,and we were disproven.

I think the reason religious people would not view themselves as being superstitious is maybe because the word is used in a negative way,and they dont want to be identified with people who do believe in things that are largely considered superstitious.But as a non religious person I view it as superstitious as well

I think I can agree.

I'm not superstitious,but some things are not mere coincidences (other things I think are).

@VercingetorixTheGreat well can't demons and possession,by some,

I say that because Demons and possessions are in the Bible. Nowhere does it mention Karma (in fact it says the opposite) or Ghosts.

Due to my childhood experiences in a house that was deemed haunted; not solely by me, but others whom I have had no contact with at times, I do believe in ghosts and the afterlife. The house was shared from the top and bottom; so we would hav people come in quite frequently. Those of whom would report seeing the exact same things I' report; as well as several pastor friends of mine.
