Absolutely! I don't believe in superstitions!
I DO believe in clinging to the Lord Jesus Christ, however. He's a very true and present God. Has nothing to do with religion!

I never knew that Americans cling to religions any more than people of other countries. Whenever I read anything about the Near East, the whole article seems to be religion.
The churches of England and France, among many other countries, seem to be doing a pretty good business. My neighbor who just came over from Slovakia goes to church every day. Most of my other neighbors never go.
It seems that Europeans look for anything they can find in order to bash America, yet they all come screaming for help when they're in trouble. I'm personally a 100% non- believer, but if church is what makes America what it is today, I'm all for it.
Europe has lost it's backbone. One bomb, and Spain runs home, surrenders. France and Germany are willing to let America do the fighting. They'll do the weining and bashing. What great people.

I am trying to figure out why it is just americans thar cling to foolish religious superstitions. The Catholic church is an Italian institution at best. Other religions have headquarters in many different places in the world.

~~~Davie ,,,, Since other countries have their fair share of Superstitions, they actually admire America for The Freedom that ANYBODY can believe ANYTHING they so choose, without persecution. It is The Leadership of America which makes us The Laughing Stock of The World. ( I have travelled, lived abroad and learned another language.)

By letting go of their own religous heritage and clinging to the spiritually blind anti-religious dogma of the new world leaders doesn't the rest of the world make themselves the laughing stock of the cosmos.....?

Aren't there better things to make fun of us for than our religious fanatics? How about our Ku Klux Klan... that's a pretty easy target. Or the fact that our President was elected directly off the short bus? I even laugh at that! How about the fact that people here ACTUALLY LISTEN TO BRITTANY SPEARS? That's pretty f#ckin funny!

In a certain way. It really is a problem when a person or group of people attempt to force their religious superstitions onto others that's where the root of the problem is. If they keep it to themselves it is not a problem.

Personally, I'm more interested in pleasing the God who gave me life and breath and being than a world filled with 10 billion people who don't know where they came from or where they are going.
