How do you know george lucas actually wasn't told the story of star wars by a time traveling demi-god? The story DOES claim it takes place "Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away".
Well, if Lucas had proclaimed himself as a prophet, that, again, would be a different thing.
Then Jedi faith might have as much validity as other religions and cults. At least as much as Scientology, anyway, hurhur. But it was never intended as a religion. Lucas never made any claim of religious validity.
That's the beauty of it! The government actually told George Lucas (Out of fear that the truth of the universe would over throw their power) that he could not speak about the visit by the Demigod, or else they would have him killed, but since the government did not know what story the demigod told George as a kid, George went on to make a movie, a movie which described the story he was told. It's all there right infront of you, you are just to blind and faithless to see the truth!
Im begging... BEGGING that your joking. Please say you are. I have so little faith in humanity, dont push me over the egde. I want to like people.
Heh, I am, but that was my point. Just because someone proclaims so strongly their belief of something, does that give them special privileges over others? Why for example can a Muslim man wear a turbin as a police officer, yet I, not following his religion, would not be allowed too? Why can't I Proclaim christianity is wrong on some forums (And places) out of fear of offending someone, yet a christian man can speak about how god is the only answer in the work place? It is not anti religion that I speak of, but that "Fair is Fair". Religion is growing into the new racism (Nowhere near as bad mind you) in the sense that, you look at some of these "Oversights" in policies, laws, and rules, and have to go "Why does he get special treatment? Because he believes in an old tale that MIGHT be true?"
Let me put it this way... Imagine you are standing in line, the rule says you have to wait in line to enter the Building you are inline to get to. Now imagine someone pushes past everyone and walks right in. You angrily proclaim that that person is breaking the rules, and the man working the line states "He can cut in line, his beliefs say that waiting is a sin that he must not commit" would you go "Oh! Okay!" or "Then why the fuck did he not get here earlier before there was lines, or why did he even bother coming to a place with a big line in the first place!?" Honestly, rules are rules, and I do not believe religion, race, gender, or anything else should exclude you from them.
