Umm. A lot of it is pretty interesting actually. Except the Jedi Academy school. That bit was cheesy, lol.

DiamondBullets
That's sad. A fictional concept from a MOVIE is an official religion. no

Admiral Akbar
All religions at one point or another were cosidered bs and fictional.

Sin Harvest
Look if these people are too stupid to understand that Star Wars is just a movie that's their problem. Let them figure out that there's no such thing as the Force and that there is no such thing as a Jedi.

BlaxicanTroller
Its not the Jedi themselves, its there ideals. Do you know the Jedi code? I'm a christian, but I admit that if all humans followed the Jedi Code flawlessly this planet would be alot safer and better.

Sin Harvest
No because if we followed the Jedi Codes some idiots would then go around following the Sith Codes.

That and this is stupid. All a Jedi is, is a new Crusader/Paladin. Same morals and crap like that. People need to get over it. Religion is (usually) men creation to explain how everything came to be, what happened after death, and how the world will end.

The "Jedi" religion offers none of that. Basically it's just a code to go by like a cult or something.

JaehSkywalker
not all of The Jedi code is right you know... even though some are, some still aren't...

and darn, are those people crazy or what? Star Wars is only a movie! sheesh...

Religion is for the weak.
I put Jedi as my religion on the UK cencus as no other catagory suitably described my spiritual beliefs, which are best described as a fusion of Budhism, Tibettan Mysticism and Wicca. I am a spiritual person, but not a religious one. I find it amusing that there are more Jedi than Jews in the UK, a fact I tell great pleasure in telling my mother (who's family are Jewish)

I love Star Wars, I never really get sick of it.

But these people have problems.

It just shows that people in Romania have nothing better to do, and that the state of their country must be that crappy that some people have no other ambition but to study star wars as a faith.

A class on how to speak wookie? Like anyone knows what chewy was saying in the first place. Oh wait, I'm sure someone knows of a book where all of the Star Wars lingos are translated. Yet again I rest my case on idiocricy of that.

If I took that class I would immedietly feel like an idiot when the teacher did roll call and I 'd be Like "Here!"
Just watch the movies, buy the toys, wear the t-shirt, hang the poster, play the videogame, and eat the bowl of C-3PO's

Star Wars isn't a religion its a franchise.

They Might as well start making religions into franchises

Passion of the christ action figures. Power action quick change Christ goes from looking holy, but dip in warm water and turns into bloody lacerated mess. All other action figures and Crucifix sold seperatley

Religion (particularly Christianity/Catholicism) already is a franchise...
Has it occured to you that when coming up with the concepts for the Force, Lucas drew heavily on Eastern religions and philosophies?
Have you ever heard of laylines or dousing? That is all about using the planet's natural energy fields, which was how both Yoda and Obi-Wan described the Force...
I agree, the idea of classes on how to speak Wookie are pretty stupid, but would you dismiss someone who studied Christianity as lacking in ambition?

2 different things. This is a RELIGION based on a MOVIE. A movie the creator George Lucas calls fake meaning it never happened. The accounts and life of Jesus has been proven true over the years.

Are you serious? The Bible is nothing but a work of fiction! That there was someone called Jesus 2000 years ago, I do not deny. He was not however, the Son of God! Religion is an entirely man-made creation. Sprituality however, is a completely different thing.

Christianity is nothing more than a religion based on the teachings of a man. That makes it a cult. Christianity is no more authentic as a religion than Scientology (which was created by a sci-fi writer as a bet)

You are one sad little man aren't you? I hope you don't actually mean that you believe in the nonsense of the Jedi. Fact is people are willing to die for Jesus, and it has been proven that the Bible is true by people who were both followers of Christ and even those who wanted to prove that Christ was never around.

OMG! I just read the article instead of replying without thinking like usual! So do these people actually try not to form attachment?

By the way Vious. Christianity isn't a cult that is based on the teachings of some guy. It is a bunch of stories wich you can learn from or something, who cares. It's not comparible to Scientology in anyway, go away.

My fellow man, Jesus Christ was a REAL guy (or at least as far as we know)

Star wars, and everything about it, primarily came out out of some guys head and pulled a bunch of different influences to tell a story.

Someone can study christianity all they want, whether you are a believer or just being objective.

In believing in Jedi Faith you can only be a believer, or a non believer.

And thats the difference. You can't be objective because your either, a major Nerd, or like most oxygen sucking clowns who know its just a movie

On the contrary, I'm being quite objective. I already pointed out that I disliked other religions as well as Christianity. Also, I never disputed the fact that Jesus was a real person, infact, I said twice that he was. Maybe you'd care to point out which of these dictionary definitions of a Cult that Christianity does not fall under, and then try saying my comment was incorrect.


The only definitions that do not currently apply are 6 and 8. However, when Christianity started 2000 years ago, it was considered to be 'false, unorthodox and extremist', by both the existing Hebrew Scholars and the then Pagan Romans, who had a rather nifty use for Christians...
The only definition that has never applied to Christianity is the last one.

Christianity isn't already comparible to Scientology and REALLY not comparible to a cult. Christianity counts as a religion just like Hinduism. Do you have proof that Jesus actually existed? And no teachings were forced upon us, actually, I can't remember any commands of Jesus. We see him as a (once) sort of guru and the savior and who will come again to save us.

At least I don't base all my thought on dumbass bague dictionary definitions. Go fetch some basic logic.
I don't even consider scientology a cult. That guy never asked for all the crap people made up around him, I think. Christianity sprung from judaism and christianity held the idea of one God. So suddenly they came to believe one guy to be their savior, big deal.
Everybody considers christianity as a religion, except some random no name.

Funny though how you start to prove yourself wrong by saying Scientology was made up by one man and christianity by a whole lot of people who probably did it in a process of time.
How the hell is christianity a cult in that case?
OMG, so it started out believed to be a false religion, that's so surprising! Just because cults are a bit simular to religions doesn't make it the other way around also true. Your dumbass rules for something to be a cult are way too vague.
Tell me, is the Islam also a cult in your highly acclaimed opinion with their Muhammad and with their perhaps extreme ideas or whatever? Not that it matter what you say, you are very confused anyway.
If L. Ron Hubbard actually never existed and just mentioned as some kind of child of God or angel who came to earth giving people stories so they could get their own interpretations out of it to form a certain belief, would scientology still be considered a cult by you and your amazing dictionary?
You are pointlessly going against the world with your dumbass internet dictionary. Just face it, Christianity has become a religion a long time ago.
Idiots can't change that fact even though they claim to be highly successful in life and still feel the need to hold completely pointless discussions on the internet.

Actually, I was banned because Ushgarak did not agree with what I was saying, but could not defend his point. I've argued with forum owners who disagreed with me politically, but they still never banned me just because they didn't agree with what I was saying, so banning me only proved how weak his point was, or he would have been able to defend it properly. Lison pointed out quite clearly that the forum policy lists the Movies as the highest canon, not Lucas, and Ushgarak still refused to accept that that was what the policy actually said, and just closed the thread, the sign of someone who can't defend their point.
As for childish, your conduct is hardly the paragon of maturity, yet for some reason, you are tollerated for it.

The islam? Never heard it refered to as the islam before... Actually, Islam is based on the Qu'ran, which is the word of Allah as told to the prophet, mohammed.
To answer your question though, it matches the same criteria as Christianity, with the exception that it is (in some parts of the world) still considered to be unorthodox or false, so by definition, yes, that would make Islam a cult as well.

overlord
Ushgarak told us many times that if the movies don't make something clear enough, Lucas' word is indeed the highest source of canon because this makes sense and is plain logic.
I know it's not something some members here like because of their bias but you'll have to swallow it.

You also have no reason to constantly come inform me about the money you make by being annoying here. I take it as bragging.

Your dumbass dictionary doesn't mean anything. Perhaps you just don't believe in the term religion. Please give me your term of something being a true religion. I take it you count Hinduism as religion?
Please notify me on what exact qualities a religion must have because it's pretty retarded that everybody calls Christianity and the Islam a religion except you and that you would actually argue about it.

You seem to forget just for you own ease that a religion can be based on the teachings of a spiritual leader just like you all forgot the true canon policy around here aswell for your own ease.

"When it comes to absolute canon, the real story of Star Wars, you must turn to the films themselves - and only the films. Even novelizations are interpretations of the film, and while they are largely true to George Lucas' vision (he works quite closely with the novel authors), the method in which they are written does allow for some minor differences."

Says nothing of the kind. It does however, say that "you must turn to the films themselves - and only the films."
Sorry, but that is the policy.

To be honest, all religions fit the criteria of cults. I don't think you appreciate that I don't just dislike Christianity, I dislike all religions.

overlord
Look, I don't care if you dislike religion. You make it come across as though there isn't a difference anymore. Those cults aren't religion.
Cults is something that rips you apart from your family and where the leader is above all. Cults usually use deceit in recruitment and I don't want you associating Christianity with them any longer, you understand?

Religion is much more open and honest to the public and questioning a leader is allowed. They don't try their best to get your money. And you know what Ushgarak said in the thread he closed due to spamming children.
The movies are the highest form of canon. If something isn't completely clear in the movies, Lucas' word is the one to decide it. This is plain logic you ignore and then you call me arrogant.
Go brag about your highly successful life wich is probably made up. I know people like you, you probably are just some snotty kid trying to be a wiseguy and trying to be impressive.
Well, keep away with the useless information and dumbass statements based on some internet dictionary.

I don't think you yourself even know what you are talking about. For example, do you recognise christianity and the islam as a religion, because it was as if you did not at first until the evidence showed that it wasn't a cult. Not that I really care, you are probably the most pointless person I have ever met around here..

Cults is something that rips you apart from your family and where the leader is above all. Cults usually use deceit in recruitment and I don't want you associating Christianity with them any longer, you understand?

And how are you going to stop me? How do you think Islamic terrorists are created? Religion is for the weak. Anyone who needs a book or code to tell them how to live and be a decent person is a fool.

I suggest you re-read the policy. It says that the movies and only the movies are the highest canon. Fact. Yes, you are arrogant, because you think your opinion is worth more than a dictionary, yet still refuse to justify that with qualifications.

You really are f*cking clueless. The only snotty kid here, is you. I'll be 28 in just over 3 months, how old are you? Have you even finished high school yet? I run my own business, own my own property (which I have just been negotiating the sale of between my two posts) and am getting married in two years. Where do you live? In your parent's basement? Stop projecting your own failings onto me, because it just doesn't work.

I accept that they're classed as religions, but they could also be classed as cults, and untill you provide evidence to the contrary, that will be my opinion of them.

I don't give a damn about your opinion, retard. "WAAWAA, Religion is for the weak!!", I don't care.

You don't get it, I feel sorry for you. If something isn't clear in the movies, then Lucas is able to clear it instead of crazy children's interpretation just like the writer of those old sith could state that Sidious was way above them.
And I am not the one going against the moderator, your dictionary is too vague in this case and you have a problem seeing the difference between religion and a cult, therefore I will teach you.

Don't accuse me of your short comings, I don't live in a basement, idiot. You can brag and probably lie all you want, it's not impressive, sorry but you fail.

I think I can safely say I know more about religions than you do. You can't even face the truth about Christianity.
What proof about christianity? That it is a cult? So called proof by some random no name on the internet who bases all of this from some internet dictionary. He who goes against the world with his dumbass wiseguy behavior. You obviously are a very disturbed little kid.

I accept that they're classed as religions, but they could also be classed as cults, and untill you provide evidence to the contrary, that will be my opinion of them.
Ah, so you finally understand that what you dictate is not a fact? I will enlighten you on eastern, western and new age cults.
Western cults usually are sprung off of Jesus Christ and don't recognise God or think there are three gods as the mormons. Jehovahs and christian scientists think God is a pagan falsehood.
Eastern are mostly sprung off of Hinduism, Boeddism or Taoism. All these fools claim to present the only truth.
The new age group believes that you must find God in yourself.

The leader however of a cult is the one who makes and changes the rules, cults commit in decieving people to join them (religion only presents their ideas), cults commit mass suicide and pointless stuff, cults need you to do something for them to prove your commitment, cults indoctrinate in a very heavy way usually.
cults use ways to make you join wich at times include that they f*ck with your food or constantly bother you with making sure you don't get enough sleep and they freaking brainwash people at times!

Religion has nothing to do with this shit and at least believes in a God wich created everything.

Says the person who spends their time trolling for arguments rather than contributing opinion to debates. Hypocrite.
You are such a lying piece of shit, I hardly ever get into arguments as retarded as you. How the f*ck am I like you? Please stop accusing me of your own behavior because it won't save you from being banned.
Your childish spamming and trolling ass was suspended for a good reason. If I judge your reasoning and behavior, I think you are probably sixteen years old. This is reasonable guess, just admit it because you act so freaking odd.

And I don't give a damn about your opinion either, numbnuts. Religions can be classed as cults. I've given you dictionary definitions, you reject them. I ask you twice for proof that you are qualified to criticize a dictionary yet still you provide no qualifications. You accuse me of only posting my own opinions, but you do exactly the same thing!

Vague? What is 'vague' about the definitions listed? They are consice and specific. Once more, what qualifies you to say your opinion is worth more than a dictionary?

I'm not lying at all, I have no reason to. You on the other hand, are making assumptions about me based on your own insecurities. Prove me wrong.

I never said that my opinions are facts. However, I do accept facts, and they then become my opinions. You can't even provide evidence for your opinions, I've provided evidence to back up mine.

You're not teaching me anything. You're just making yourself appear even more foolish. Groups that base their beliefs on the teachings of a particular person are cults. Re-read the definitions of cult posted. Untill you prove that you are more qualified than whoever writes dictionaries, your opinion will continue to mean nothing. Also, I do suggest you learn how to spell the major religions correctly. There is no such thing as Boeddism.

Oh but I'm not lying. Your trolling behaviour has been documented on other areas of the forum, so you can't deny it. Again, you are projecting your own failings onto me. How old are you? Do you own your own property? Do you have a full-time job? I've given you the facts about me, and by denying them, and trying to say I'm a child, you are just making an even bigger fool of yourself than you already are.

Kay Vious. Here's my question.







What are you planning to achieve in this debate?

To show that Christianity (and most other major religions) fill almost all definitions given of a cult, and have proved that point by posting dictionary defenitions of a cult, all but one of which, have applied to Christianity at some point in the past 2000 years, and the majority of which still apply today.

Well, you've shown your point. Why does it matter fi some people dont believe it? You've still gotten your point across. people have read it, it's been acknowledged. What else do you want? Do you want me to renounce my christian faith or somethiing?

overlord
Nah, he has no idea what a cult is, he is just an ignorent troll. The complete terms of a cult are: 1, the tendency to perfectionism, the tendency to isolation, the tendency of anticipating the future, the tendency to complete a theory that's only partly true, the tendency of complete frustration at people who think differently.

See, at least I can elaborate about cultism instead of hopelessly clinging to initial arguments in the hope of spamming until people become sick of me like how little children act to get their way.

also, a much better discription is:
The way of talking people in to it with al kinds of tricks and stuff.
The way of forming a group like all living in one house or pressurising on each other constantly.
The way a leader can pressurise people of a lower hierarchy such as punishing them or being above the law themselves.
Complete control by a so self proclaimed messiah.
Complete isolation of the world, of normal human customs and people who think different.
Selection of so called chosen people of whom are supposed to posses more information or powers than other members.
Keeping their way of living and their believes to themselves and isolation from the media and alternative information.
The extreme way how members are supposed to recruite new members.

Well, it's actually pretty easy to seperate a cult from a religion but the weak of mind really need some vague definition of an internet dictionary to include religion to being a cult aswell.
Personally, I think Vious just changed what he was originally trying to prove and is now only continuing this because he is one of those stubborn children.

And I don't give a damn about your opinion either, numbnuts. Religions can be classed as cults. I've given you dictionary definitions, you reject them. I ask you twice for proof that you are qualified to criticize a dictionary yet still you provide no qualifications. You accuse me of only posting my own opinions, but you do exactly the same thing!

This is just like what you did when you got yourself banned, you are so incredibly retarded that you keep spamming your initial arguments wich can never be proved as insufficient. Maybe you have not been raised right.
You don't seem to allow any other way of thinking.

I don't get it? you're the one who is denying the actual Forum Policy! I might not agree with it, but at least I'm not denying it. Moron.
Uhmm.. No. You see, when the movies don't make something clear enough like the death of Boba Fett, then Lucas can state that Boba Fett indeed died.
This is plain and simple logic wich your childish ass refuses to comprehend.

And that means what? Anyone who has to resort to banning someone for challenging their opinion or policy because they can't defend it themselves has no business being a moderator.
You are confused, you think your banning was because you were the one who was right and needed to be silenced. This is where your arrogance comes in to play. You actually refused to listen to other people's arguments to why your points were insufficient. You kept spamming your old argument constantly like a mentally retarded spammer.
Ushgarak had to stop you from constantly saying the same crap.

Vague? What is 'vague' about the definitions listed? They are consice and specific. Once more, what qualifies you to say your opinion is worth more than a dictionary?
Hold your horses, little teenager. I have already stated the deeper involved descriptions of a cult. Your dictionary obviously wasn't good enough in this case to state the difference between religion and cultism.

What short comings? I've told you about myself, how about you actually answer my question? How old are you? Do you own your own property, or do you live with your parents? I'm not lying at all, I have no reason to. You on the other hand, are making assumptions about me based on your own insecurities. Prove me wrong.
Your reason to lie is your trying to impress me and acting like you probably are more knowledgeable than me. You have failedm get over it.

Once more, you are describing yourself. What makes you more qualified than a dictionary? What are your educational qualifications? You're the one who declares to be suicidal, why is that? Don't you get enough allowance?
Haha, pretty funny. Every idiot has to reach for my lollygagging to insult me or prove me that they are supposed to be more intelligent. "blablabla, you are describing yourself"
How am I describing myself to you? Are you angry that I'm not a sucker for a dumbass description of a cult that's way too general? Go outside to play, little child.

You're not teaching me anything. You're just making yourself appear even more foolish. Groups that base their beliefs on the teachings of a particular person are cults. Re-read the definitions of cult posted. Untill you prove that you are more qualified than whoever writes dictionaries, your opinion will continue to mean nothing. Also, I do suggest you learn how to spell the major religions correctly. There is no such thing as Boeddism.
Oh my, well you know what I mean.. You don't hear me whining my childish ass off because you constantly say 'untill' wich also is a spelling error. Grow up, fool.

Once more. ISLAMIC FUNDEMENTALISM!!!! I presume you've heard of it?
Wow, you've totally ignored the differences between a cult and a religion. You must be an idiot. Go waste a moderators time, child.

Oh but I'm not lying. Your trolling behaviour has been documented on other areas of the forum, so you can't deny it. Again, you are projecting your own failings onto me. How old are you? Do you own your own property? Do you have a full-time job? I've given you the facts about me, and by denying them, and trying to say I'm a child, you are just making an even bigger fool of yourself than you already are.
Haha, as if an intelligent man who has actually achieved something in life feels the need to act like a retard spammer and troller like yourself. You immediately returned after being banned only to continue your childish behavior.
You only wish I was as pathetic as you. I'm sorry I'm not dumb enough to get banned. But maybe you'll get your wish someday when you keep trolling me for insults.
Your supposed successfulness in life is not convincing and also completely irrelevant. Go develop a brain, go back to school.

I've stated what the policy is, Vious, and Overlord is correct.

However, this has become ridiculously inappropriate for this area. Closed.
