[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 168958, member: 16886"] Although it falls under the same category of non realistic thinking with applications, there is however quite a difference between black ocult toona or vodoo magic and superstitions. The black cat crossing your path is more of a superstitous 'signal' whereas the black magic is messing with the dark side all in the name of harm and evil. [B]Superstitions[/B] have been going on for centuries and years and infact will continue for generations to come. To me they are quite harmless and are just physical things that one can do to get some luck or to avoid bad luck. This is from simple common things like avoiding walking under ladders, friday the 13th, black cat- not sure if it means good or bad luck!! -But whatever, people are always going to hope, they are always going to want to reach their goals in a quick fix if possible- so if something may give them luck then they will- I mean in reality it is [B]harmless[/B] when compared to the dark black magic doings. About the fact that young generations are set to continue with superstitions- let me give you a very recent example that I learned, but something that most the kids at school where my kids go were even aware of!!!!! -It's amazing how much you can learn of little kids nowadays!!! Over here in North America, sport is a real big issue for lots of kids. Everything from American football, baseball, basketball and hockey is extremely popular from kids at very young ages. Whilst in the UK, I only witnessed the huge popularity of soccer and street soccer due to lack of football fields etc.. compared to here. Now, I find that winning and becoming champions is a huge thing, it's not always about the sport or having fun as I was taught when young. Even from elementary schools, they all have their own mascots that define all the sports team from that school, eg you have the tigers, the dragons, the leopard skins..etc.....etc... -The other thing with the sports is that sometimes it seems necessary to help a student get a place or a scholarship into University or college. ie.. we know the jokes about black kids just being in uni because they are star basketballers or medic scholarships for a student that can help the uni's baseball team..etc..etc... This is HUGE over here compared to UK, where the only thing that I ever encountered was private schools training for boat races so the kids could get into Oxford or Cambridge since they have the world famous students boat race!! Now, because of all this drummed into kids from a young age, the sports I mentioned are Massive. This puts on pressure to the young kids that want to exceed and I was shocked to learn about some superstitions that most of these enthusiastic sport kids believe in so closely.- It has nothing to do with religion or being aethist even. - Maybe some of you have noticed that on some residential streets you find a pair of sneakers (trainers or athletic shoes) with shoelaces tied hanging on the phone or power lines!! Before I knew, I always wondered how someone had gone through the effort to get them there. Well a few days ago, I noticed one block that had several pairs hanging neatly and I pointed it out to my kids. I was astonished when they informed me that they have been put there by wannnabe sport fanatics!!!! OR kids that want to succeed in their athletics and become professional!!! All these kids believe that if they put their athletic shoes and some are new pairs worth over 180 dollars!!! then their sneakers will bring them luck from the heavens so that they may succeed to the maximum potential.****Absolutely crazy, but try telling that to these kids that demand more money from their parents for extra pairs!! I was also informed how they have their own ''good luck'' chants done by cheerleaders and how lots of kids teams have good luck hand signals they do before and after scoring goals..etc..etc.. Thinking back, when I was a kid and I really needed to be basketball champion or something let's say, then if someone told me to sacrifice my Nikes to become school champion, then sadly I would have been naive enough to do exactly that- a kid doesn't let anything get in the way of their dreams!! My point is that these kind of superstitions are certainly set to continue regardless of religous background, faith or culture. But this voodoo and black magic stuff or ouja boards and seances trying to contact the other side is really a different ball game altogether and to me this is more harmful. As parents we would probably accept the innocent attempt by our own kids of sacrificing their Nikes to become year champions compared to them playing with a ouja board to get the same goal.- Meaning if I had a choice to have to choose one activity against the other, I would mostly go for the former rather than latter.
