"Jedi"-A religion?

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.

[Edit to add]
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)

1. I am a christian, so please, leave your beliefs to yourself.

2. LEts focus on the actual tipic, as opposed to REAL relgions and wiether or not there true.

Also, before you say anything about me having a dig at Christians, I've also had a dig at Scientologists, and if you want, I'll start ripping into Muslims, because their 'religion' is the most twisted of them all...

So what? According to the UK Cencus, I am a Jedi. If you want me to respect your 'beliefs', then you have to respect mine. Also, my opinons on Christianity are not 'beliefs', they are facts.

So you saying that my beliefs are not as valid as yours, yet you expect me to respect your beliefs (which is based on a fiction) Please explain the logic there.

Please show me the part were I said I did not respect your beliefs. Reading comprehension is your friend.

Well that Little Stroy of beivles are truly odd. What losers....

And also religon isnt a man made thing. The only thing thats man made its the Cover on the bible. But yet. aigan thats my opion. Every is free to express there on opion. BUT. I think the most realsict religon is Jeaovhas's Witnesses. 😉

Can you back up your words?

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.

Its Weeid how people think religon is all made-up

I told you before, you're not a moderator, you're just a troll, so don't try telling me what to do (I'm not going to do it anyway) so either contribute something to the debate, or f*ck off.

Debate what, dumba*s? We're talking about a "not official" so it's not yet counted as "real" religion. Not about christianity.

ive been here for 3 days and ur already on my bad list. VIoucs just shhhhhhhh for now.. plz

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

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?

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

nice well spoken
