What do you think of the Jedi Religion?

[Rainbow Mage]

Do you see it as a legitimate path to enlightenment even though it's based on a movie? Of course the influences behind that movie were dharmic religions and Christianity.

Nuff said.

The same way I view the fact that DDR is being taught in some PE classes: so ironic that it's just awesome.

Hey what ever works right. DDR is tiring ^_^

Has for the OP. To me, it's a modern day pop term used to describe a Spiritual path that is a mix of other Spiritual and philosophical beliefs.

I view duality as a terrible thing, whether it be God and the Devil or Jedi and the Sith.

I say why not?

I think we tend to find ourselves in a world of duality. Hot/cold, soft/hard, man/woman and so forth. That duality (or those differences) tend to be a point of focus unless you step beyond them an see the connection that resides in all and eliminates the illusion of absolutes. "Only the Sith deal in absolutes" while sounding an absolute statement it self it demonstrates the nature of perception (the illusion of self) and the intricacies of the propinquity of what would seem to be opposite views. I believe that the Jedi are more about helping others for the good of all, while the Sith are more about helping themselves at any expense. Them diametric nature of those views would, of course, bring them together and cause confrontation in an attempt of resolution.
While your perception may tell you whether a flipped coin is "heads" or "tails" the truth is it is a coin and both are there and neither is what the coin is about.

Annunaki -
Found In Genesis 25:32
Also known as Jedi, or Nephilim

Who were the Annunaki? They were the Watchers, Watchmen assigned to earth to watch over Yahweh's Creation in the Garden of Eden and Earth . They were created by God as perfect Angels. These Watchers rebelled against God and their assignment and a mutiny followed as they abandoned their mission to oversee humans and began to defile the women of the earth by having offspring with them. This led to a giant defect in the DNA of the offspring and an eventual almost complete contamination of the human DNA. By the time Yahweh destroyed the world with a flood because of this contamination, only one family on earth was left with pure human DNA. But even after the flood, the Watchers kept revolting and even more were punished and cast out of heaven losing their first estate and habitation, as they continued to defile women and human DNA (Genesis 6:4) This hybridization and corruption of the human DNA is still very much a part of our world although the giant defect has been corrected and most hybridization goes undetected. Why is the church silent on UFOs, Aliens, abductions, implantations, and forced breedings? ​

This guy got his Bible verses wrong! But it gives you an idea :foot:

I think some people have a hard time separating fantasy from reality. That being said, I don't see why practicing a religion based off a new fictional story is any worse than practicing a religion based off an old fictional story.

Have we discovered the symbiotic microorganism Midi-chlorians present in any lifeforms?

George Lucas used Joseph Campbell the hero's journey as a base for star wars. It is based on concepts of Mythology that is universal in the human experience.

I cleaned up a spot of what I thought was mildew in my bathroom, but it turns out it was a colony of midichlorians. I wondered why my soap kept floating up out of the dish.

I'd be more horrified if you actually said that. There's dorky, and then there's dorky.

But imagine the cringe on peoples faces as you said it and it gradually dawned on them what has occured
