Yeah, I'm superstitious.
Whenever I watch my team on TV, they lose. So I respectfully quit that behavior.

You don't watch your teams anymore?
I don't watch them alone. That seems to be different. Except ice hockey. There I seem to be the Black cat.

I think walking under a ladder is never a good idea but not for the same reasons you do.

I am not superstitious, merely apprehensive. Rightfully so. I stepped on many cracks but my mother's back remained intact. I have been harder on black cats than they have been on me. Have I a favorite number? Yes. Do I think it a lucky number? No.
Even if I followed sports I would not fantasize that anything I did or thought could affect a team's or player's performance.
I make no gestures to ward off spirits, luck, evil eyes, fate, etc. I recite no chants, prayers, invocations, magic rhymes, spells, etc. The medallions around my neck are for memory, not magic nor worship.
Superstition dates from an era when good and bad spirits ran everything. Spells and amulets and sacrifices were the only way to deal with adversity of unknown causes. Superstition was common sense. That was then. We hopefully know better now.
No, I'm not superstitious, but any bad driver or falling tree could kill me, so I'll just sweat.

And he believes in me.
Trying to ignore God is like trying to ignore the Sun...You can deny it's there but the effects of it's radiation still happens.

Can you measure god?
NO. We or at least normal humans do not have the capacity to measure God.
Use the earth a point Zero and the Sun as God. That is roughly 93 million miles. That would if one could measure God that is how far above us in controlling things.
**************************************************************
Can you show god to me?
No I cannot. God is not a dog you can whistle up.
You can ask him to let you know he is around or rather ask Jesus to make himself known to you. I need to warn you first that you should do some research because, I can tell you have NO idea what you are asking for!
**************************************************************
Do you have a single solitary shred of actual physical evidence for the existence of god?
No. He doesn’t sign autographs ,wait for witnesses... do selfies or hand out magic wands and charms…at least not modern days anyway…
Trust me, if and when he gets in touch with you (I am grinning thinking about the first time for me) you will have NO doubt about it. I was mute for about four hours afterward and it wasn’t easy sleeping that night.
I had thought the expressions “speechless and “made the hair in the back of my head stand up” was just that just expressions…I was wrong.
It’s kind of odd I guess but I have NO problem believing in Satan what so ever…now.

Right. That's why they call it faith. The sun and it's effects are not faith...they are provable, demonstrable, measurable facts with lots of physical evidence to support them.
So trying to ignore god is not like trying to ignore the sun.
If any of us ignore the sun for too long the sun fucks us up with UV A/B and can even outright cook your ass to death. Because facts....
If I ignore god absolutely NOTHING about my life changes.
God is never getting in touch with me. Maybe if I took some mescaline but I don't think that really counts.
Who knows maybe one day god will show up and be all "look how wrong you were bitch!" and I'll stand corrected, I'll call god a dick for the cruel joke of life, but I'll admit I was wrong. Then he'll fuck my shit up because vengeful and wrathful god....which will just prove what a dick it is.
But I'd bet money on a UFO landing on the White House lawn first....
