Well you can scoff all you want, but that "cosmic jewish zombie" changed the whole world. His teachings are believed by Christians and respected by Jews, Muslims and Hindus.
His existance is historically recorded and his birth, death and ressurection were predicted as far back as 700 years before he was born.

You do not want to mess with darth sidious/palpatine!

"God spoke a book..."
...Which was promptly and mercilessly torn apart by the old Church!
And now we have a pope who's like, "Well, y'see, this whole child-molestation thing...the problem ain't that these guys are molesting children, it's that they're homosexual!"

I have read your posts, and I appreciate every oponion of any free mind, but personally I prefer to keep my religious and/or spiritual beliefs to my self, any way I was browsing my way through that site and I came across this...

Note : I mean no offence to any religious or spiritual group, I couldn't care less about who do you consider to be GOD, or for whom do you pray, I just found sth that made me laugh, so I wanna share it with others, here is how it goes :




I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
He said, "Like what?"
I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"
He said, "Religious."<
I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?"
He said, "Christian."
I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
He said, "Protestant."
I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
He said, "Baptist!"
I said, "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"
He said, "Baptist Church of God!"
I said, "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?"
He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!"
I said, "Me too! Are you reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"
He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"
I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.

LOL!

Some brilliant responses in this thread.

And, to sort of keep this on topic, here is what the CREATOR of Darth Sidious / Palpatine, and the fantastical world he inhabits, Mr George Lucas, has to say about his feelings on the world:

I would like to see our society mature, and become more rational and more knowledge-based, less emotion-based. I'd like to see education play a larger role in our daily lives, have people come to a larger understanding -- a "bigger picture" understanding -- of how we fit into the world, and how we fit into the universe. Not necessarily thinking of ourselves, but thinking of others.

@Shemale Seeker: i LOL'd! Brilliant joke
@TheSkronkDonkey: I agree with George Lucas. It seems, however, from all the news about parents trying to get teachers fired for teaching evolution/sex ed, etc... and all other distrubing stuff like racism and religious fundamentalism, that his dream is still a long way off from reality...

Thank you russellwu, It is a joke, yes, but it shows us a glimpse of what happens in real life regarding religion.
any way, glad you liked it.

Fear is the churches greatest weapon they use to there advantage all the time. and always have something to bitch about but the fact more then a few if ministers in there ranks have been caught groping kids is being a hypocrite.

But thats the church right,


The bible is something people to live life buy not to be taken seriously people who are hardcore about religion are the ones who end up killing becasue god said so and all that crap.

Shemale-seeker,
Thanks for sharing this brilliant joke with us. Its really funny and shows how we are so blind to Real spiritual truths and cling to superficial garbage like being catholic or protestant or lutheran or other religious, color, race-based sectarianism.
Jesus said, "Love your enemy, forgive everyone."
The early christians went on Holy hunting trips to free the holy land from the unholy infidels every few years. And bathed Jerusalem with human blood! We didnt understand a word of what Jesus said!
Jesus taught Love, the church taught us to seek out heretics, pagans, witches non-believers, abominations, sinners and to hate them, or better burn them at stake! What is wrong with 'em?
Love and hate are two diametrically opposite things. Morons! Who is the sinner now? The innocent lives taken or the church itself?
If you practice one, drop the other.
Jesus, my friend, it seems like you died on that cross for nothing! Next time mix your lessons with some spice. People here on earth just crave entertainment. Love seems too lofty for us.
