"Consort"? I somehow doubt that is the word Emile would use. But if you disagree with him, why don't you show it publicly? He is a bigoted racist who does your viewpoint no good at all. I checked your profile; I failed to see any posts where you took him to task. Many Christians have, you know.
Here's how Websters defines superstition:
Main Entry: su·per·sti·tion
1 a : a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation b : an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural,
nature, or God resulting from superstition
2 : a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary
I think 1a is going to be a matter of opinion in this case, so let's try 1b.
"irrational"? If you can by reason prove the Bible is true, do so.
I do believe smarter and better educated men than you or I have tried and failed.
But, actually, there is a simpler test: If you can prove your point, you don't ask for "faith"- -blind belief without facts to back it up. Asking for "faith" is proof you cannot defend your assertions. Charlatans and con men ask for faith; honest men don't need to.
Did Isaac Newton ask you to have faith and believe in the Law of Universal Gravitation? Did Einstein ask for faith in relativity?
And definition 2: "despite evidence to the contrary"- -There are clear, unequivocal statements that in the Bible that those then alive would see Christ's return after his death. It's now 2000 years later.
Where is he? This is the grossest case of a blown prophecy I know of.
Twist them as you might, those statements don't go away.
"Superstition"? Yeah, I think that's fair. You might not like the word when it applies to you, but what else can you fairly call it?
And while your at it, answer this one:
