Superstition is to Religion What Astrology is to Astronomy
I’ve mentioned that I love the Waiterrant blog. Dude hit the “jackpot” with his book and I recommend that you pick it up. Nice blog, around a while. Anyway, I loved this quote today, “Superstition is
to
religion what
astrology is to astronomy”“Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy”. Very nice.
The bartender shrugs and gives me a “It’s your life look.” As she walks away, I take a long pull on my drink. As I feel the effects of the vodka course through my system I think about superstitions and the anxieties that drive them. “Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy,” Voltaire once wrote. “The mad daughter to a wise mother.” I wonder what the great Enlightenment philosopher’s opinion on olives and bad luck would have been.
