Our country (USA) was build on the number 13....13 original states, 13 strips on the flag....Does the number 13 have an historical history, what is it?

On a Friday the 13th the Church led a murderous purge against the Knights Templar including torture, imprisonment, and most horrible executions.

Fear of the number 13 is technically known as triskedaikephopia. It stems from the fact there were allegedly 13 disciples at the alleged Last Supper of the alleged Jesus, and the 13th allegedly betrayed Him. No superstition has a factual basis at all. Most are the result of ignorance and gullibility.
