The Superstitious and Paranormal. Do You Believe In It?

I tend not to believe in superstitions. There have been a lot of predictions for the end of the world but so far we're still here. I have read that many Mayans living in Belize feel that the real meaning of the ancient Mayan calendar is that there will be a new age. I haven't had an paranormal experiences but I would rate paranormal activity as being very different from superstition.

Growing up in a country where people still believe in superstitions and old wives' tales, I know quite a few of these. While I do not entirely believe in each and every belief that has been passed down to us from our grandparents and parents, I do not exactly scoffed at these. While some have scientific basis even though the explanation is quite ridiculous, I see no harm in trying it out. One example is that going out at night after you took a shower or bath is forbidden as you might offend the sensitive olfactory senses of the "spirits" and they might cast you a sickness. For me, going out in a cold chilly night air after your bath might get you colds due to the temperature.

No, I don't believe in that... at most I believe in something supernatural, a supernatural power existing there (instead of gods), but nothing else. I don't see the sense of them.

I had this discussion a couple of days ago. I totally don't believe in superstition. But I don't dismiss it as well. I just don't live by it because I believe it is holding back people to move on with their lives because of fear which sometimes is unreasonable. I've heard it many times that the world is ending, I wouldn't preoccupy myself with that to be honest, those who are concerned are those who are afraid to die.
