Superstition : excessively credulous belief in and reverence for the supernatural.
So your position is that believing in God based on spirituality is excessively credulous, but believing it based on other people's reports of spirituality from 2000 years ago is not?
If that's the case, Unwrap it for me. I don't understand.
lol

Superstition: unfounded belief resulting in irrational behaviours
I don't trust feelings or coincidences to inform anything. I'm incredibly skeptical and need to understand reason behind everything. People fascinate me.
I had to be more than convinced in the biblical evidence to believe. Those ideas were cemented once belief was entered into. They apply directly to the present, and can be verified in the same way. But you knew that.
I have always been suspicious of a spiritual reality. I appear to have dreams of things that then happen in the future. 5 second snippets of scenes I'll later live through. Nothing I've ever been able to use. I've never linked that to my faith.
Explain "excessively credulous belief in and reverence for the supernatural"
