He's still more deserving of my respect than Paul.

Ya -- Lucas needs you to pay your respects.

Paul doesn't.

A lot of people want to invent a religion

A lot of people want to invent a religion.

A lot do.

Knowing the difference can save your eternal life.

 

[Hans Blaster]

A lot of people want to invent a religion

That understanding (that people invent religions) took the shine of mine and now I am free.

Jedi already is a religion.

Ya -- Lucas needs you to pay your respects.

Paul doesn't.

As Paul hasn't earned mine, he won't receive any.

And yet, if I were to be honest about him, I'd violate forum rules... whereas you can spread whatever falsehoods you want about General Kenobi consequence-free.

Funny world, isn't it?

 

[AV1611VET]

As Paul hasn't earned mine, he won't receive any.

Makes we wonder how Lucas got your respect?

 

[TLK Valentine]

Makes we wonder how Lucas got your respect?

By being a much better storyteller than Paul.

No.

The one where I claimed academia would just consider angels as aliens from another planet.

So where you said something so wrong it should hurt... again.

And I used the verse from one of Styx' songs to show just that.

Except you didnt.

They were visited by angels, only, to their horror, they were UFOs.

Nope. Not even close

That's when the Styx hit the fan.

See above

We are to convert, not kill, unbelievers.

It's called The Great Commission.

And I'm not Shoko Asahara.

You are also not Henry Tudor, or Hernando Cortez.
They both carried out vast massacres against those who did not believe in their version of Jesus.

 

[Mr Laurier]

Show me the Bible in the same category as Star Wars (fiction).

You can't, can you?

So comparing Paul to Obi Wan Kenobi is a cheap shot.

And a professor of literature should know better.

But I have a feeling I'm casting my pearls before academia.

You have no pearls.

Ya -- Lucas needs you to pay your respects.

Paul doesn't.

Star Wars was one of the books that shaped my moral outlook.
From it I learned that doing what is right, is more important than doing what an authority person tells me.
You should read it

 

[TLK Valentine]

Ya -- Lucas needs you to pay your respects.

Paul doesn't.

Paul claimed his own Church correspondence was inspired by God and merits the same respect as "Scripture," and as a good Christian, you're obligated to believe him.

Don't talk to me about Paul's needs.

 

[AV1611VET]

They both carried out vast massacres against those who did not believe in their version of Jesus.

They would have massacred me too.

 

[AV1611VET]

Star Wars was one of the books that shaped my moral outlook.

If you say so.

From it I learned that doing what is right, is more important than doing what an authority person tells me.

What if a person in authority tells you to do the right thing?

 

[Bradskii]

What if a person in authority tells you to do the right thing?

Who decides if it's the right thing?

 

[BPPLEE]

Who decides if it's the right thing?

You don't know right from wrong?

 

[Bradskii]

You don't know right from wrong?

I'd like to think I do. So if 'an authority' tells me to do something that the authority says is right then I have to decide if indeed it's right. So 'doing right' is obviously the correct thing to do. Doing what an authority tells you to do doesn't necessarily align with that.

 

[AV1611VET]

Who decides if it's the right thing?

That was going to be my next question.
