Is "the Force" really "God"? They kinda threw out all the mysticism in Phantom Menace with the " midichlorian" nonsense. midichlorians make a better case for being god than just the Force |

They kinda threw out all the mysticism in Phantom Menace with the " midichlorian" nonsense. midichlorians make a better case for being god than just the Force I really don't see how that's the case. Before "midichlorians" were mentioned, the Force was a lot more mysterious and unexplainable, essentially a "God of the Gaps" (we can't explain "the Force" so well just attribute it to some mystic God like power). Once midichlorians were brought into the mix, "the Force" was basically just a bunch of cells that give your body special abilities, so yes the somewhat scientific explanation really does take away much of the "God" concept behind the Force. |

Who is your favourite fictional deity? Isn't that a tautology? |

Really? I thought you were a Christian. Perhaps I am mistaken. Do you not know what Christianity is? Is God a "fictional deity" to Christians? |

Is God a "fictional deity" to Christians? Obviously not. Your point is? That you're illiterate, you stupid cow. |

Well, God isn't mysterious and a God of gaps is a myth in and of itself. However, many of the fictional gods on this list aren;t that mysterious either and even if they were, the midichlorians are not exactly an open book. |

hahaha.....that was funny. What a wonderful moderator you make... Funny, most people think moderators should be objective, and not coming down hard on one particular side... Still, that's specifically not what Mr Self love Admin wants, hey?

You removing your posts after you are questioned on them is dishonesty and not a subject of I taking any sides. If you stopped being childishly dishonest then people won't find you funny. And do you want a time out again? Check your pm. |

Arguing with the moderators again - this is some classic stuff right here. |

You're assuming that the behavior is the same on both 'sides', which is a stupid assumption to make. |
