Sounds like you’re talking about TFA/TLJ/The Sequel Trilogy :

Nope, Lucas ain’t much of a writer. That’s why we got universe-shrinkage, a mystery subplot which went nowhere, and a whole lot of other crap which didn’t need focusing on in the prequels.

“Universe-shrinkage” (wut) - Sequel trilogy solution: Rey is “nobody”, Rebels Vs. Empire 2.0
"Midi-chlorians" - S. T. solution: Force-download-presto-instant-Jedi!
“Mystery subplot which went nowhere” - Sequel trilogy (ahem): Rey’s parents/Jakku, Snoke

And if I actually liked the ST, this would be a profound revelation to me.

Perspective, really re: Lucas as a “failed” writer

“From my point of view perspective, both the PT & ST are evil!”

I have a question for Christian users here. What exactly do you find inspirational about Jesus Christ? I find that a lot of Christians see him as a role model as well as a god and I’m curious about specifics.

The “fire insurance” is the only reason to dedicate your life to Christ. You may say there are little benefits, but if you weren’t going to roast in hell there’d be no reason to suffer through church, evangelizing, praying, and all that. Life’s too short.

I feel like this is kind of a glass half empty or half full thing. Your reasoning isn’t incorrect, but I feel it’s more important to focus on the eternal reward of faithfulness rather than the eternal punishment of unforgiven sin (or whatever Hell may be).

The reward isn’t as desirable as the punishment is horrifying.

they spend more time wacking off than they do imitating Christ’s love.

The reason they do that is because it’s a natural urge and desire of human beings (which God supposedly created). It’s especially a very natural part of growing up and developing. Encouraging people, and especially youth, to repress themselves and be ashamed of themselves for something that’s biologically ingrained into them is one of Christianity’s biggest faults today.

I mean, that wasn’t my point, but okay. I don’t disagree with you.

Oh, well that’s how I took it.

I was just referring to the fact that they have no desire to express the love of Christ to others. The “wack” was just an example that I chose based on its place in religious society.

most people don’t want to hear about the love of Christ. I certainly don’t.

These two things do not go together.

Just like religion and facts.

ZING!!!

I’m sure you’re feeling clever

I’m always clever. Feelings have nothing to do with it.

The Simpsons did it first and better, and even then it wasn’t very funny.

Um…sure.

I know I’m right, 'cause I’m right.

Yeah but it is a little bit bad about making you drowsy in the morning. Also I’ve read over time it can lead to blood pressure problems.

Once I took 12 or so in high school and had the scariest trip of my life. Heard thousands of cats meowing and saw the shadows of huge spiders that weren’t there. Didn’t see spiders, just shadows of them. All in all I’d give the experience a 3/10. Gave it 3 points for scaring me away from doing shit like that.

I wonder if anyone’s used that as a basis for a horror plot. If not, I’m going to be the first.
