I used to, but then I got this charm that protects me from superstition. Works great!

No. Occasionally I use figures of speech that amuse me like "knock on wood."

To be silly, I knock on my own head. Little kids love it.

I'll need to pray on this before I can answer.

No. But I also don't walk under ladders on principle.

Of course NOT !!! .... Brings bad luck !!!!

I am an absolute believer in the Lord God Murphy

His law is always obeyed...

I.E. Murphy's Law: what can go wrong, will go wrong.

Other than that, nope.

Super? No. I'm just a little stitious

It's funny when I ask a faith-based person if they are superstitious and they say no. They just don't realize what they are saying. If they believe a superstition is true, they think it is not a superstition.

No but I have some irrational fears. Like having to at least have a sheet on me because of the ax man. Not putting my feet near my bed so the monster can’t get me, etc

Nope. Everyone knows superstition brings bad luck.

No, but some of those silly habits linger on.

No, but I do salute magpies, but who would not want to salute magpies, they are such jaunty flashy birds.

no. not at all. english is rife with superstitious and religious language, and it is sometimes unavoidable, but if you say "knock on wood" it doesn't have to mean you are acknowledging some effectiveness of that action; to some it does, but to others, like me, it's just a way of saying "i hope" or admitting that there is a danger that what you're wishing for might not come to pass. i have said before that if i bang my toe and yell "shit" i am not calling upon anyone to defecate, or identifying scat. it's a handy word, and it's been divorced from its literal meaning in that context. so no, i may use superstitious or even religion-tinged language (jesus christ, what IS she going on about now?) when i feel it's the best way to express my feelings, but it in no way indicates an actual superstition, thank god rofl rofl rofl rofl i hope i didn't jinx anyone....

Not really.

Profoundly. I used to be a sailor.

Wow that's a toughie let me see,. Um NO!

No.

I am not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.

Never! My lucky rabbit’s foot always wards off such nonsense thinking!

I don't believe in them, but I also don't hesitate to use old superstitious sayings just because of habit, a reference, etc.

Many times you can get your stories across by using a few noted ones that everyone gets..."break a leg" for instance...

Some of it is just for fun when you do stuff like go to a baseball game wearing the same t-shirt you wore when they last won a game...it is just silly and not anything I put any real thought into.

I am superstitious in the same way that I sometimes enjoy reading horoscopes. It serves to lighten my mood. I don’t take any of it seriously.

How can one honestly admit to being superstitious? Don't we always believe our superstitions to be the truth? A question I have is what makes a belief a superstition? Can one believe science superstitiously? For example, if I believe the law of gravity is true because I dreamed God told me it was the truth, is it a superstition?

No.

But if there was a hoot owl howling outside my window pane for six nights in a row....?

I might freak a little.

I may have just really confused the youngsters.

No

No
