Because he's speaking in English using western values and concepts. You think Nelson Mandella wouldn't have this man shot?

Depends on your definition of superstition, I suppose. Some people know theres a God, and some believe there is. Like man-made climate change. Some will argue that it's superstition. I certainly would.

@quantize lol. Alt right doesn't even know what alt right means... that's funny. Just like a Democratic Socialist(alt left) doesnt even know what THAT is. Your attempt to club me over the head with a feather is quite humorous, though. You make a good cheerleader to the pee-wee team!

$8000 a year isn't poverty on a global scale.

@enzoarayamorales7220 no. A superstition isn't what you think it is. How does breaking a mirror cause 7 years of bad luck, then? Walking under a ladder? How does a 4 leaf clover or a rabbit's foot give GOOD luck? Those are superstitions. Thor is a norse god. Mythology. Superstitions do come with myths and legends, but they're not the same. Some knowledge comes from superstitious beliefs, but people generally lack the wisdom to take any short-term methods because they scoff at them. But you go ahead and skip over the proverbs section of the Bible. (Hint: God didn't write them. A bunch of dead dudes collected them) There's both knowledge and wisdom in those "fairy tales" if you know where to look. But your fingers will probably catch fire if you pick them up. By the way, shooting fireballs out of your hand is a parlor trick. It's flash paper. I do it all the time.
