Superstition

Now you agree with absolutes like "drugs are bad" . Gimme a break. I thought you were like a bit smart or something.

As for giving me advice you are wasting your breath. The Earth likes me. I try to educate. The truth is that guidelines are closer to finding truth than "one size fits all" black or white ideaologies

All superstition should be weeded out from rational debate. ...

Kicking rat nests, aren't you.

I don't think mankind is quite ready yet to be rational.

As a group, we are trying. We frown on crapping in the local stream, don't we?

No.

Perhaps you could pick one and explain where you see superstition in it.
