What is this called?

[ecchi]

And yet most of the people posting an "I don't talk about this in case I jinx it" type post claim to be atheists. Exactly why is it more sensible to believe in an all powerful Jinx than it is to believe in an all powerful God?????

However thanks for starting this thread G, and thanks for your reply Simon. My current biggest project involves spell books, and you have just given me an idea for the next book - "How to un-jinx yourself".

I've met many people who claim to be atheists and agnostics but who still seem to believe in one form or another of Magical Thinking. It's like we're hard-wired not to be comfortable without some myth or superstition to define us.

For me personally, this really sums it up...
