I think if my cats could figure out how to get cat food delivered to the house, I'd be mysteriously smothered, covered in cat fur, in the middle of the night.

Hummm I got a very interesting story for this one.  It was a Friday night and I was hard at work at the Red Lobster.  Well that night it seems we didn't prepair enough food during the day to last the night so we basicaly ran out of every thing and had to make every thing freshas the orders were coming in.  Well back then I was working a position called Back up so that maent I was responcible to make sure that we didn't run out of any thing.  Night night there was so much stress the my lung popped.  Oh and by the way did I mention yet that it was Friday the 13th. 

So any how when I finaly got out of the Hospital it was the 1st of April.  Incase you have forgotten what the 1st of April is it is April Fools Day.  So hows that for making some one superstitous?

No, I am not really superstitious but I do believe there is something in this world that is better, bigger, more powerful, soulful,spiritual than mere humans.

It's called nature.

I am not religious, but I believe that GOD, The ONE who was and is the creator of Nature itself. The one who existed before Nature and everything else in this existence. Anyone else agree?

In other words, deist.

In any case, belief by faith in a supernatural being or force is, by definition, superstition.

This is a very rough definition.

Define superstition.

Quote
Superstition (Latin superstitio, literally "standing over"; derived perhaps from standing in awe; used in Latin as an unreasonable or excessive belief in fear or magic, especially foreign or fantastical ideas, and thus came to mean a "cult" in the Roman empire) is a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge. The word is often used pejoratively to refer to supposedly irrational beliefs of others, and its precise meaning is therefore subjective. It is commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy and spiritual beings, particularly the irrational belief that future events can be influenced or foretold by specific, unrelated behaviors or occurrences.

This seems like a fairly good one to me.

When I played basketball on a regular, I had alot of superstitions.  I had to eat at a certain time, eat certain foods, wear the same socks, wear my hair the same...and many more things on game day.  I think superstitions are true to all athletes :)

I am very superstitious. I grew up in a cult atmosphere and I'm just now starting to break out of that way of thinking - since I grew up in it since age four it was everything I knew until I reached 19 and could afford to live on my own. So, LOTS of superstitious ideas. I'm trying to stop though. I don't want to follow in my parents footsteps at all.
