Something that you don't believe? something that you believe but it's base is neither scientific nor religious? or is it a religious thing?

you dont have to believe in a certain religion to be superstitious.this is something without scientific proof and sometimes can be ridiculous to me.

Ok, so for you the definition is "ridiculous popular stories without scientific nor religious relevance" right?

Totally agree!!! I was not talking about that. For me a superstition is something like "when you walk under a stairs, it gives you bad sort". I love many religions and try to believe in them all. I'll post something about buddhism for you all to help me understand if I have some misconceppptions.

I do not have one at all. I am not into superstition stuff at all. I think they are just silly.

As Superstition is a belief that can not be proven, that was created to explain something, either a string or bad or good luck. I can be either religious or non religious. Many call my beliefs Superstitions, others do not question it as they have watched my accused superstitions manifest into reality. - DNatureofDTrain

I don't think it is about proves... for me a superstition is a silly belief that has no trascendence or utility. For example, "it is bad luck to walk under a staircase": this can be proven, as it is dangerous, but it has no trascendental meaning.

No I don't think I'm superstitous. I don't really think I'll have 7 years of bad luck if I break a mirror or something bad will happen if a black cat walks in front of me. That's all crazy superstition. I believe that if I'm positive in life, I will make good things happen. As long as your positive you can overcome any silly superstition.

a religion is a set of superstitions with strict rules and a priesthood. i dont believe much in them either. perhaps only that i open up bible, and read a random passage where my finger falls, and then usually my tomorrow exams go better (methinks). its even more weird considering im an atheist(dont believe in ANY über being).
