Subject: superstition and fundamental christian don't mix well - but I think for the average person the tell would be in the US 13 is an unlucky number - in some south american countries 13 is a LUCKY number- it's all in the perceptions - believing is usually very closely related to receiving -whether it's positive hopes or negative fears.

[> I'm mildly superstitious for things like Friday the 13th (I'm always relieved when Saturday rolls around), but my real superstition is about saying things are good, and risking that they suddenly change. For example, when people ask, "How's Peter (DH) doing?" I always answer, "So far, so good." He is doing well now, a little past a year from his bone marrow transplant, but I feel anxious even writing that, for fear it will somehow change something! A friend of mine says that's an Irish superstition, though I'm not Irish. -- Deemus, 11:48:46 05/15/11 Sun [1]

[> [> My boss's husband had a stroke about 5-6 years ago, and when friends ask her how he is, she says, "about the same". Don't know if she's being superstitious, or just not wanting to talk about it. -- The Chief (I suspect the latter), 18:14:59 05/15/11 Sun [1]
