angel4hope Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 i was wondering to what extent our forum members believe in superstitions, if not at all. i myself am very hard to convince when it comes to superstitious things..... if so, what are some of your superstitions? how do you justify them? if not, why don't you believe in them? any particular reason?

Hreshtak, did you post this topic knowing that today is Friday the 13th? It happens everytime the first day of the month falls on a Sunday, if it happens in February it repeats in March except in a leap year as this year 2004 (the Olympic year). It is also ironic that I have been mulling over this post and contemplating to add one more given to the Armenian saga- Superstition. http://armenians.com/forum/index.php?showt...330&hl=cynicism Triscadecaphobia, fear of the number 13. http://www.crystalinks.com/friday13th2.html Superstitions A to Z. See if any applies to Armenians. http://www.corsinet.com/trivia/scary.html The Armenian word for superstition is avelordapashtum. Do I believe in superstition? I will come to that once I have resolved the mystery of Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy! :) Edited February 13, 2004 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

den_wolf Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Superstitions are against logic. Hence, I do not believe in them. On that note, I had a grand day, and it's friday the 13th.

What if they were mere coincidences? Good god no, that could not happen. That's completely anti-religious and anti-spiritual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since you agree to god, * u used him in your last post* i will tell you.. Coincidences are only when God decides not to reveal himself::: And if you think such things about religion and it being against superstitions.. then you have absolutley no clue whatsoever of what you are saying..

den_wolf Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Well, since you agree to god Excuse me? Agree to god? I never said any such thing. The proof that I showed was not my own doing. Besides, I can assume anything in order to prove it wrong, doesn't mean that I believe in it or that I consider it to exist.

den_wolf Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I dont understand how you can say something like this and think anything else you say is credible??? Hey kid, I suggest that you think twice before trying to sound like a smart*ss. I mark the papers of kids just like you, and believe me, if you're as much of a pretend-smart*ass in real life as you are on this forum, then I suggest you re-evaluate your future at university, because not too many teachers are tolerant of unproven smartness. If you've got the stuff, show it. If not, all you're doing is talk without showing that you know anything, only claiming. I do not mean to be so critical of you and your attempts to try and demean me, but really, kid, you sound like you're a good kid, and if you spend more time meddling in things of manageable scope instead of jumping into a pool without knowing how to swim, that would be for your own good. I don't know what I said that ticked you off, but whatever it is, I have no intention of finding out nor do I care. But if you want me to take you seriously (not that I care if you do) and read your posts, I suggest you stop right there and think twice about what you're doing, because you seem to be violating the basic social contract of keeping trash out of this forum. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not being a smartass, you cant explain yourself, i was merely asking how you can say sucha a thing and stay credible.. i cant beleive you.. well, remember this phrase from the other forums... Mmm, and did I tell you, I'm done with you? Well now I did. Adios. Au revoir. Ciao! Whichever language you know best.. oh and btw den, dont call me a kid, i dont respect you because you contradict yourself, and cant even see it.. and plus, your only 2 years older than i, go have fun at liverpool university... those kids really do love you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel4hope Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 hmmm i scn say im the least superstitious person...or id like to think i am... but since some people said believing in God may be considered a superstition, im a bit confused...in a way i understand why one would say that, but it sounds weird...i dunno i guess if thats considered a superstition, then since i do believe in God, i guess im superstitious then...

den_wolf Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 LOL!!! Agent Mulder was even worse than some of the people here who subscribe to the doctrine of "blind faith ergo fact." Well, he was constantly on the search for aliens, and he strongly believed that they existed, and I guess he was being superstitious, just like those who believe in God and refuse to even hear the voice of reason!! What can I say... I thought Catholics were bad, but boy was I wrong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allarmeniangirl Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 i definitley don't consider myself a very supersticious person although i am somewhat supersticious. the only thing i'm supersticious about is probably the whole black cat walking in front of u thing. other than that.....nope, none 4 me. oh and if believing in God is a superstition, then i am gulty as charged 4 that 1.
