*Wishing things would go well/better for yourself or others
*Believing in or offering other people 'luck'
I have thought about the first one many times. I have also wished people "good luck" many times.....particularly after becoming an atheist. I mean I cannot say "I'll pray for you" anymore. Have also made the comment "I'll keep my fingers crossed".
And honestly, I don't care who thinks these two are irrational. Don't even get me started on the things I've seen on these atheist sites, that I consider irrational.
@OP - On what basis did you decide these were irrational thoughts/beliefs?
Out of curiosity, I looked up irrational thinking & beliefs and did not find the things on your list anywhere.
