Well. This forum was involved in some of that piracy. So go figure.

Yeah, a lot of the changes really are lazy, which annoys the crap out of me. If you care som much as to add to/enhance the movies, DO IT RIGHT.

It is almost as if Lucas didn't even bother to watch them. Actually, it is exactly like that.

If something is not of this world it bears no consideration whatsoever.

I went to a Catholic High school and I spent my youth before that in after-school Christian bible study classes. A damned fine waste of time that was. Come on people let's all be happy and praise Him.

Don't presume to tell me what I know and do not know.

I enjoyed reading the bible in the same way I enjoyed reading Aesop's Fables or Hans Christian Anderson or Greek myth or the writings on the origins of religious belief of scholars like Joseph Campbell.

I was an argumentative child and my Priests and Brothers never had the correct answers they'd always falter and stumble under the weight of irrefutable logic. Then just as you do they'd retreat back into the words of their God, who said it so it must be true and we know it's true it is written and it was written by God and that's how we know it. What a circle jerk.

I don't care what you believe Chaltab just know that you're the blind fool and I don't give a shit what your book says about me.

I'm not insulting religious people, who for the most part are pretty pleasant and docile creatures thanks to their beliefs, I am insulting religion at large. The organisation that has surrounded the belief in the supernatural and wormed its way into the highest levels of world government passing moral judgements and laws that are based on a fantasy.

I don't know if there is a God or not, and neither do you. The point is I don't care either way because it is only through the falsehoods grafted onto ancient historical events and awareded significance by interested parties that you feel some measure of fear of this thing called God. The true God if there is one has no power here on Earth and it meets all who seek to join it in the end.

Just live your live Chaltab, it's likely the ONLY ONE you'll get.


One life, but it last throughout eternity. Be careful where you choose to spend that eternity, Reg.

If "religion"has no basis in fact then how do you explain miraculous healing? Demon posssesion? The miracles and Ressurection of the Lord?

I know for a fact there is a God. It is utterly impossible that this world that is so complex could be the result of a cosmic explosion. And there is nothing you can say that will make me belive otherwise.

And seriously? Why not be happy? Beats depression? Why not praise Him? It beats cursing or ignoring Him. Reg. You have revealed youself to be an enemy of the living God. I pity you. Yeah, I am angry, and I honestly believe that Satan sent you my way just to mess with me. And ultimately, Reg, you only make yourself look like an arrogant prick, ignoring facts and rejecting God.

You can belive whatever you want. Know one is trying to force you to belive, and God wants you to have that choice, because forced love isn't really love. I don't care what else is said here. After this this thread is officially dead to me. Don't even bother replying, because I won't be reading it.

What infuriates me most is people who use the fairytales of the ancient Greek myth of Herakles Romanised as Hercules and grafted onto the life of Yoshua-Ben-Yosef generations after the fact to claim moral and ethical superiority over those they decree to be heathens just because we value human life more than constructed ideology.

Humanists see all loss of life to be a tragic waste, not just those on 'our side'. Helping humans in distress is exactly what was NOT done in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are many people in distress in your own country, why aren't those military monies being spent to feed clothe and shelter those poor wretches?

If you choose to believe the lies then do so but don't think for one second that you can claim the high ground when you have no clue why the US really went after Saddam.


Hello? what are you talking about? Generations? The church began withing the first years after the Resurrection of Jesus. THis is fact. There was no period of "Generations" as you claim. And why would God imitate Greek and Roman myths for his method of saving the world? That makes less sense than not taking out Sadaam Hussein.

Review the facts. When Sadam Hussein came to power, the USSR was the biggest threat the wolrd knew then. It could have easily started a nuclear war. And America supported its enemies. Yeah, we were ignorant of the fact that they would later become terrorst states, harbouring enemies. Reagan, Carter, ect. couldn't see into the future. And now we have deposed Sadaam Hussein. He who murdered millions of his own people is sitting in a prison cell. How can one not be happy about that? Justice will be done.

And it is alos a fact that Sadaam once had weapons of mass destruction. He used them agiant his own Kurds. And he systematcially blocked the actions of inspectors--even kicked them out. What were we supposed to think? Should we accept the word of a murderous satanist who called himself a Muslim? Of Course not.

Have you ever even been to America Reg? Have you ever even been into a church for something other than a wedding? I think not. You obviously don't understand Americans, Christians, or even how the world really works. I can say with utter conviction that it is not I who believes lies, Reg. It it is most certainly you.

Remember the line I took out of my sig? The FOOL has said "There is no God."
Those are God's words, folks. Not mine.

Motti, the truth is that in both Iraq and Afghanistan, there were people--terrorists--that wanted nothing more than to opress their world with their perverted form of religion, and kill as many Americans as possible. They are still there in Iraq, and Bush is fighting them. Kerry, despite his promises, is not the leader Bush is. He can't win a war that he doesn't believe in.

I thought Vietnam would prove that much.

Lack of humanity in prequels?

I think I figured out why the characters in the prequels are so boring compared to the OT characters.

In the PT, all of the emotional catalysts are things that normal people can't relate to. Most people can't relate to being super-powerful and chosen to "bring balance" to anything. Most people can't relate to being a senator, and can't sympathise with all of Padme's day-to-day problems.

Luke on the other hand, is just an ordinary kid who dreams of doing something great. It is something people can relate to better. Everyone wants to be the hero, to get the girl--if you don't know that she's your sister. Being stuck at home with a mundane life is something that kids and adults alike can relate to. But most of us can't relate to being separated from our mothers and then finding her dying, tortured by nomads.

So it is really lack of humanity, but lack of normal people.

They can't.

the simple fact is that all their reasons for hating Bush are ridicuous, or based in mistruths and exagerations. There is no reason to hate our current president. France and Germany weren't allies lost by Bush. They were bribed by Hussein to go against us. If they had just not helped us, it would be no big deal, but they tried to stop us from taking out a regime that was an obvious threat to the world and Iraq's own people.

here is an ever scarier thought: Cheney a heart beat away from the Presidency!

It's this simple. We already know that Bush is a terrible President, but we don't know how Kerry will do. All you can do is predict that Kerry will be a bad President. With Bush we know he is a bad President because we've watched him for 4 years make an ass out of himself and embarrass the U.S.A. and make other nations hate us. I'll vote for somone who might be a bad President over someone who is a bad President any day of the week.


P.S. Nader it too far to the left for me, has no chance of winning and as I have said before: a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush.


Precislely why my motto is, I you truly hate Bush, vote for Nader. John F. Kerry simply does not have the moral capacity to be president. I don't care if his IQ is higher, which, from Wednesday's debate, is debatable. John Kerry seems to think that everything wrong with America is Bush's fault. The truth is that John Kerry can't fulfil any of his promises without driving the US deeper into debt. Given time, this administration's economic policies will up the econonmy, and will create jobs. It took Clinton and the first Bush twelve years to undo the what Reagan did for the economy, so are we to expect that a less capable president than Reagan can undo all that in just four? especially considering that the freakin' World Trade Center was destroyed.

Furthermore, Kerry lacks a moral compass. Look at what he said in the debate. He made a point of mentioning that Cheney's daughter is involved in homosexuality, and can anybody explain why? He actually thinks that conservatives will be less likely to vote for Bush/Cheney knowing that becasue of the conservative Christian stance on that particulary lifestyle. How ridiculous! All he suceeded in doing is showing how ruthless he is.

Kerry talked a lot about God, but looking at him, one could tell without much effort that it was shallow pandering. Kerry may have been born into a Catholilc family, but that doesn't make him a Christian. Bush on the otherhand was obvioulsly sincere. Or a really good actor, but I didn't think he was smart enough for that. Bush actually lives what he belives. Kerry says he doesn't want to impose his religious beliefs on others, and yet he has no problem imposing his views on abortion and gay unions. He takes a "moral" stance in the war in Iraq. See where I am going?

No matter what you think of Bush's intelligence, Kerry is under no circumstances fit to lead this nation.
If you truly hate George W. Bush, then just please do the nation a favor and vote for Nader.
