Well I never stepped on a crack so I wouldn't break my mother's back . Superstition made me a side walk crack dodger. I've also never walked under a ladder, not because of superstition though. I just never needed to walk under a ladder. I totally would though . I'm not afraid of ladders:E
Superstition controls many men and women in the world through the delusion of religion.
Hate, violence, bigotry, indoctrination of children and just boring proselytizing are some of the effects of this superstition.
If he dated a woman who was superstitious, he would be very effected. She might not want to date him over something as simple as he is the wrong zodiac sign. I've seen this happen. Could you imagine dating a woman who won't go to a restaurant because the address has a 4 in it?
They could base their entire life of the belief in a Supernatural book, that told them to follow a lifestyle to get free everlasting life to live in servitude forever.
They could also spend their lives in fear of bad luck from walking under ladders, breaking mirrors, stepping on spiders, having black felines cross in front of them ... Well you get the gist.
Not so oddly, both scenario's share a commonality.
He may begin to depend more and more on superstitions, and before he know it, they may rule his life. And since superstitions are based on lies, he could become, in effect, a slave of “the father of the lie,” Satan. (John 8:44) In his book Believing in Magic—The Psychology of Superstition, Professor Stuart A. Vyse warns: “Superstition could lead to diminished quality of life if one spends large sums of money on psychics, fortunetellers, numerologists, or Tarot-card readers, or if one’s superstitious rituals help to maintain problem gambling.”
Superstition robs a person of enjoyment of life and the having a relationship with God, because it is based on a lie and the bible states that Satan is the father of the lie. John 8:44 . We are also told at John 8:32," You will know the truth,and the truth will set you free."
Superstition leads a person to think that he has less control of his life than what he really has. It also removes accountability for one's actions.
