I think it is coming at us from all sides. We have been warned in Rev 3 that the church would become lukewarm and I think that we are attacked on all four sides. Humanism from the atheist, legalism from the liberals and catholics, experiential from emotionalism and compatibility from the ecumenicals. That is why Jesus said if any man will hear My voice and follow me. Religion in our day is a personal commitment, the churches have gone cold.

I would say, 'yes,' not simply due to religious beliefs but rather focusing on the sphere of psychological studies.\n\nMany psychological studies have noted that those with spiritual beliefs tend to live longer, live healthier, and become far more productive in society. These same studies have noted a very strong connection to prayer and the same effects.\n\nNow whether this is due to the truth of spirituality and religious beliefs, or is due to just what people feel about things because of their beliefs, is something that science cannot (and has not tried) to answer. I strongly recommend that you visit the American Psychology Association website and search their documents for more on this subject.

I'm not superstitious. Superstition is bad. It is a violation against the first commandment. It contradicts our belief in God. It contradicts God. God is not superstitious and he did not create superstition. When we believe in God, there is no more superstition. God all the way!

Traditions that violate the Bible's Teachings. Veneration of saints & mary by putting them in positions of intersessors. Which the Bible says, "There is One Mediator betweem God & man, the Man Christ Jesus."

Religious fanaticism.  More people have been viciously slaughtered in the name of a merciful God than have died of any other cause throughout history.

I agree with Saggart ....I know this is off the subject but I was once into the occult before I returned to God and I have to say that you create an opening for the evil a gateway that they can come through and attack you. I had many eerie things happen during the time I was involved with this. It can be as simple as a ouija board or as serious as chants and incantations. The truth is there are evil spirits,demons that can invade our very bodies.

First Commandment " Love God above all ".\n\nI believe that psychics and mediums are associated with different spirituality beliefs therefore when a Catholic seeks this advice, they are snubbing God for the vision of their future.

I don't think that any being/spirit is completely negative.  And I feel that all beings/spirits are capable of some maliciousness.

No harm accepting as long as you don't become superstitious?!

Spiritual or religious arrogance is called religious exclusivism. It's when someone considers him/herself "holier than thou." It's the belief in Absolute Truth, and that only people who believe the same things as the religious exclusivist is right, while everyone else is wrong.

Religion refers to the organization of people who think similarly. Spirituality is recognizing that something created us an watches over us. You dont have to have religion to be spiritual. Supernatural- simply things that humans dont understand. And superstition, is obsessive compulsive disorder and fear.

Probably the AntiChrist.\n\nDisharmony is the source of the bestthingsin makind, as well as the worst. If we learn from our mistakes, we are better. If we don't, then no leader is going to save us.

none, because I want to accept things as I see them, not how others, and especially ancients see or saw them. the religions of today are to old and full of crap to be relevant in today's society. religion has caused more major wars in the history of mankind than any other single factor. Lack of religion has caused none. ever heard of an atheist st. petersburg? Have you ever heard of an athiest saying "i killed them because no god told me to"?
