Living according to Catholic teachings is doing a heck of a lot. Take a look at Mother Theresa, for example. For most people, it just means trying to make the lives of everyone else around you better, in simple ways, but even then, it’s only nothing if you’re not really trying…

Other than not having sex before marriage and just being a decent person in general I don’t think living by those tenets is a particularly difficult challenge.

You’ve boiled Christianity down to just about nothing, and if you see it that way, it’s no wonder it seems easy. Even simple things, like being friendly with someone who’s a jerk to you, or performing random acts of kindness whenever the opportunity shows itself are easier said than done.

Volunteering in soup kitchens; protesting unjust laws; doing every chore, school assignment, and task at your job to the best of your ability; donating a sizeable amount of what you earn to charity; being cheerful even when your day has been crappy; cleaning the toilets so another family member doesn’t have to do it instead; sacrificing your time to help an acquaintance – or a stranger – with some difficulty; visiting people in the old folks home or the hospital just to cheer them up; taking the time to talk (cheerfully, sympathetically, and patiently) to that person who just won’t leave you alone and feels the desparate need to tell you their life story; or not getting angry at the guy who cuts you off in traffic are just a few of the things that every good Christian should do consistently, so far as they are able. Do I do them all? No. Most of them, yes, but it is very difficult to take time out of your schedule and visit strangers, or to not be irritable when you’re having a bad day, so as not to make it a bad day for other people.

Being kind to someone who wronged you is hard I admit but that depends on the person. Also “easier said than done” does not equate to “difficult”. It’s only difficult if you have little free time but the acts themselves aren’t.

The most difficult part about them is doing it when you don’t want to, which is generally most of the time. Many of those things involve sacrificing one’s free time, which is easy enough to do on occasion, but not all the time.

I don’t think you’ll find that there are many people who do all, or even most, of those things (Catholics included). I do know several people who do, but the one thing they have in common is that they’re all Christian (and almost all Catholic). I have yet to meet a non-religious person, non-practising Christian, or someone from another religion who does even the majority of those things–though that’s not to say there aren’t any (and I can’t say I know a ton of atheists, agnostics, Muslims, etc. either).

I think even doing 2 or 3 good deeds a day is consistent enough to satisfy Yahweh. 2 or 3 isn’t hard at all.

Your ignorance of the Bible is very clear in this statement.

Care to elaborate?

It’s very clear in its condemnation of self-righteousness and relying on good works.

I never condemned self righteousness and doing good deeds; I have merely stated that being a decent person and doing good deeds is easy…that’s all lol

I meant that the Bible is opposed to relying on your ability to do good works.

Well that’s only when it comes to doing nothing but still having your prayer answered…Which is a completely specific circumstance.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to. I was saying that the Bible is clear that good works play no factor in what gets a man to heaven.

Prayers were the topic of conversation…not Heaven.

Decided to start re-reading the Revenge of the Sith book by Matthew Stover. Still a great book. It’s the canon Revenge of the Sith, in my mind. Only problem is, just like the movie, the opening sequence is way too damned long. If anyone decides to read it, I’d recommend skipping right to Obi-Wan and Anakin landing in the hangar, reading all the way to Obi-Wan being knocked unconscious and Palpatine recommending to leave him, then skipping from there to when the ship lands and Windu is on his way to meet them.

The segment when Anakin’s character is fleshed out is important though.

It’s not about “satisfying Yahweh,” though, it’s about growing in holiness.

Well they are really one in the same. As you keep doing good deeds and keeping your faith strong your connection with God will be strengthened. I may be wrong about that since this is the 2nd time I have been told that my comprehension of the Bible was lacking.

Not when you look at it from the perspective of the photo being about Bruce Wayne and Batman instead of the actors and Batman. Bale and Affleck’s photos are both of their respective takes on Bruce Wayne.

Do you think it’s possible that they’ll reveal Rey had no training and she learned force powers without help from anyone? I know people are saying that she may have had force training but Kylo Ren says himself that she is untrained but strong in the force. I think it would be really dumb if it turns out she learned all those powers at the moment. I’d rather it was learned she had training younger in her life and forgot she did. That would be more believable.

Of course not. The film clearly tells the audience that there’s more to this girl than we currently know. This is especially stated when Maz asks Han who she was to only then cut to another scene right after.

There are a few thing in TFA and the Before The Awakening Novel that suggests Rey has had her mind tampered with.

Those are just simple ways of following the teachings of my religion, and there are of course far more extreme ways, like becoming a fully-licenced doctor, and spending your time treating people in 3rd world countries for free, or selling everything you have and using all your time and money to help those in need, or joining a religious order and devoting your life to the service of others.

Also, comparing praying to asking a teacher for credit isn’t very accurate. It’s more like asking a teacher for help with homework, or to give another student extra help, because they are struggling. I could add all sorts of prayer-related things Catholics should do to the above list, because those can be difficult as well, but you no doubt think they’re a total waste of time.

I guess it would depend on the person that’s praying. A lot of prayers pretty much are people asking God to make stuff happen; not for guidance or anything of the sort.

The concept of praying is tantamount asking your teacher to give you extra credit for doing absolutely nothing. It’s cheating.

Hence why Catholics don’t believe you can get away with just praying and not actually living according to Catholic teaching (which is not to say that God ignores Protestants’ prayers).

Well simply living according to Catholic teachings isn’t much more than doing absolutely nothing. It’s not as though a deed is being done in lue of compensation for an answered prayer.

“Creepy” Yoda, not “Real” Yoda. I’m talking about the very same puppet used for the OT. The guy is 800 yo, 30 years younger shouldn’t be that noticeable.

I feel you. What’s funny is that the TPM CGI Yoda looks considerably younger than the CGI Yoda’s in the rest of the trilogy.

I don’t remember CGI Yoda being different in TPM than in the rest of the PT. I believe it’s the same model. The difference might be that the skin texture, the animation and the lightning are slighly better.

Still, the best change made to the PT to date:

Same face; just older (and yes I actually meant that he looked older in my previous post. Though that’s probably due to the added detail he has in comparison to the other films. Especially AOTC.

None of this really matters to me anyway because I think Ady is going to use his own puppet for PT:R
