There are lot of very superstitious people out there. For example someone recently said to me, they think the reason their sports team never wins the cup; is because their arena is build on "an Indian burial ground. Clearly believing something like this is a form of idolatry. I am reminded also of an old childhood superstition, that was popular. "Don't step on a crack, you will break your mother's back." Would it also be correct to say that superstition has roots in Pantheism? Tom Last edited by Tom; Sun Sep 10, 2017 6:12 PM.

Of course, biblically anything and everything which does not acknowledge God as He is nor worships Him in accordance with His regulative principle, which is thus man-made worship; aka: vain, profane worship, is idolatry. 2. It would not be correct to say that superstition has roots in Pantheism. Pantheism: "A doctrine that identifies God with the universe, or regards the universe as a manifestation of God." Why do you think that superstition is rooted in Pantheism? simul iustus et peccator
