Irrational beliefs

Plus I thought it might be interesting for other AF user to see what the AF agnostics/atheists think about this sort of issue.

There certainly seems to be a lot of irrational thinking used in society in general, luck, wishing, superstitions etc. I wonder how much is recognised and weeded out.

I don't think anyone can honestly say they have no irrational thoughts, that is not to say we externalise those thoughts, rather we actively work to correct irrational thoughts before communication.

I personally consider it an active process.

Okay gotcha! Thanks for the explanation.

When I wish somebody good luck, I don't ever feel that I've somehow magically bestowed good luck on them. It's my way of showing support.
