Civilization is being smothered with an overload of noxious, obfuscating and hyperbolic euphemisms for “Superstition” and “Superstitious”.
It’s long past time to end coddling and preferential treatment to those who mask their superstitious beliefs as piety.
Ghost Busters was NOT a documentary.
It’s time for an in their face confrontation, call them out on their superstitious beliefs.

Here’s an admittedly incomplete list of terms commonly used as;
Euphemisms for Superstition

Christian
Jewish

Whenever you see any of these terms used, read “Superstition” into the statement, if quoting a statement using one of these terms, substitute “Superstition” or “Superstitious” as applicable.
If you catch yourself about to speak or write one of them, make the substitution.
The list is incomplete I’m sure. If you’ve additions to suggest, tweet me, https://twitter.com/ReflectShade

Beware of anyone claiming true knowledge of a god being, its characteristics, its intent, its desires, one may confidently rest assured that that claimant is lying. Any such claimant, directly or indirectly, seeks your money, your obeisance, your subjugation or all three.
