No, superstition is believing that there is something wrong with having ADD.

You mean centaurs, minotaurs are half bull.

Ya, that's right, the minotaur was from the Minoans and that maze.

If Religion was a true fact there would be no plural of the word.

Or it could merely mean that only one of the religions could in fact be true.

Increase the size of your Attachments

There was a recent survey which showed that 24% of Americans believed in witches. Higher percentages believed in ghosts, aliens and God. What was also interesting is that the percentages were much higher for those who were Democrats.

If you read history written in the Sixth century, the people then were highly superstitious. They really believed in miracles and the real power of bishops to immediately affect their lives.

Superstition correlates inversely with education, it appears.

However, to come out an call the religious ignorant idiots like a certain well know governor of Minnesota recently said is itself remarkably stupid.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Anyone who believes a virgin gave birth 2000 years ago is is an idiot

Anyone who believes Jesus was more then a caring philosopher is a idiot.

Anyone who rejects evolution on religious grounds is an idiot (Basically all creationists since 1860)

Basically, religion is just brainwashing, pure and simple. It started innocently as Stone Age people wonded about the natural world, but became a way for leaders to brainwash their subjects. Religion is a result of scientific ignorance.

Religion is a crutch for the weak-minded.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

There is a huge difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

superstition is just silly things that people do that mean nothing.

Religion is a tool in which to control others.

Study history for proof.

Ben, your mind has been sloshed up by the illogic of religion.
