Religion.. a dangerous topic

Hi Kimberly,

We share the same name and the love of Star Wars. The book you described sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out.

As far as religion goes, I too don't have a problem with what people believe in as long as it doesn't harm others.

Personally I'm just a spiritual type Pagan. Earth lovin' tree hugger.

hehe thats awesome. For a while i called star wars my religion :P On an interview with George lucus (christain) he said a lot of it was based off of Christianity and other religions. In that book i was reading, there is a section on Stoics. There way of life is exacly how Yoda lives. It was very facinating. Even though i was already obsessed with star wars- it made get even deeper into the anatomy in it. I really do believe in a lot of things from Star Wars- but those ideas are from other religions so it isn't as crazy as it seems Yup, I don't have a problem- until people start having wars over it saying "their god wanted it". Almost every God was asking for peace. "love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek"

I consider myself to be spiritual, not religious. Probably leaning more to the Pagan and Buhdist type religion if any. Every religion I've ever read or heard anything about has the same values and beliefs, so it's hard for me to understand all the arguing about it. I know people feel passionately about their religions but if they could just take a step back they would see that other religions aren't all that diferent from their own.
