Discipler... I was actually about to post somethign similar to what you just said.
After reading their replies to mine, I was overwhelmed with futility. (And I mean that in a noncondescending way)

so you have walked and talked with god then...
- mrdobolina0
do you agree that superstitions exist?
- yarsrevenge0
mrdobs... i have not and do not need to "walk" with god, but I do feel like i've talked with him, but not as what you perceive to be a physical dialog. If you are truly whole-heartedly open to it, we can manage a more intimate forum for me to share my experiences.
- yarsrevenge0
that also depends on how you define superstition... but then again, you will probably throw my own beliefs into your superstition definition pot.

he should, they belong there
- mrdobolina0
tell me the differences between the 2 words.
Superstitions and religion.
- discipler0
yars, mrdobs and version3 are only going to show you intolerance and ridicule.
- mrdobolina0
don't want to answer the questions?
- version30
c'mon discipler, you want so badly for me to agree with you, why won't you agree with me?
becaue you disagree?
that is ridicule and intolerance?
- discipler0
Not at all. Of course i agree that superstitions exist. But to lump spiritual truths that are based in historical fact and which have an impact that transcends cultural and physical barriers, in with superstion is a bit silly to me. Knocking on wood is not in the same category as experienceing a relationship with the risen savior who demonstrated his promises through the immutable fact of the resurrection. I don't dismiss things because my physical eyes cannot see them. As I've said before, I don't have a prejudice against the supernatural, simply because I live in the 21st century west.
- discipler0
nah, I don't "want so badly" for you to agree with me. I'm just answering questions, really.

sorry... I actually work and had to attend a meeting...
A belief, practice, or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance.

----------------------I asked for YOUR definition of "religion"... not the online definition of "superstition" which you copy/pasted here.
Come on man... give me your own words without plagiarizing an online dictionary.
- mrdobolina0
"spiritual truths"
proof of them?
your faith is not proof.
Again back to philosophy versus science.
- mrdobolina0
discipler can copy and paste, but I can't. isn't that a bit of a double standard?
- yarsrevenge0
well he copy/pastes long articles ... I asked for YOUR own words on a simple definition. Big difference
- mrdobolina0
that definition summed it up nicely for me.
- discipler0
hehe, mrdobs. You're gonna have try harder at this if it's going to bear any semblance of meaningful discussion. We are now discussing philosophy because the thread "evolved" into a philosophical discussion. And when you broach the realm of causal factors for the universe, you have nothing left but philosophy and theology.
fyi... i haven't copied/pasted a single word in this entire thread. Don't let the Tick's remarks due to intimidation make you think otherwise. I just happen to do my homework on these issues, that's all. :)
- mrdobolina0
so can you prove these "spiritual truths"?
Your religion and ideas about creation are completely inter-related.
You can berate my debate skills all day, everytime you do that I see it as your lack of words.
- yarsrevenge0
so you're saying the definition for "superstition" which you copy/pasted here is the definition for "religion"?
Se now you're creating your own philosophy, sect, dictionary.
