Actually, I used to wish that my biological father would die a slow and painful death every night, and pray to every god I ever heard of for the same, and try to negotiate it with the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. Granted, I didn't actually believe in any of those things. Then when I was 6 he actually got cancer, and when I was 8, he finally died. Did I think I caused his death? Not really, since he drank and smoked heavily for years starting in college.
Atheists, are you superstitious?
Some people believe that when you take a photograph of someone a little bit of their soul goes into your picture. Obviously not us. We know that a picture is just a picture.
So to prove it, I want you to find a picture of a loved one, preferably your child if you have one, if not any close and beloved family member will do.
Then I want you to stab the picture in the eyes and face repeatedly with a knife whilst repeating "I hope you get cancer and die in lingering terror and agony in a puddle of your own excrement". Obviously the picture is just a picture and since you don't ACTUALLY hope they get cancer and die, that doesn't matter. Then I'll believe you're not superstitious
Oooooor, you could say "stick it up your arse Jacob, i don't have to prove shit to you, and I'm not going to say something which I don't believe just in order to prove a point with you."
And out of interest, whilst I sincerely hope nobody is dumb enough to do the photo thing, how does imagining yourself doing it make you feel?
Also, I've stepped on several cracks. So far my mother's back has not broken, though a few of her vertebrae are fused and it is very painful.
So I guess I'm not very superstitious.
