Reasons To Disagree

what you belive is true

As Matrin Luther said "each individual can be areligion unto themselves." (or something along those lines).

Religion is what you make it. Faith in "something" is a human downfall. People will and have believed in many things. As long as these beliefs do not harm others than more power to them.

Anything can be true, if you believe in it.

You can believe in anything that you want to believe in, whether it is the Jedi religion, or Christianity, or even Scientology. If it's truely what you believe then you can believe in it.

All religions can be of one origin based in truth and later obscured for the benefit of the ruling.

all religions are true to the believer Many Believers are assholes many religions are just a bunch of asshole unfortunately many religious assholes have guns and bombs and are willing to be human bombs

Even the different opposing string theories were proved to be different points of view of the same theory; maybe the same can happen in the future with religions

As long as there is faith

If you believe it to be true it is true.

religion is a personal preference of belief it cant be wrong

All teachings have there truth.

The core tenets of all religions are true

Religion's a load of bullshit anyway

the true is relative, ewht we do is a real thing

All religions require faith. That is what makes them a religion. Each holds truths for certain individuals. To deny them the choice to believe is to deny that truth exists.

All religions can have kernels of truth, many of them have many kernels of truth, and perhaps a few come close to a very accurate description of the dynamics of the universe. The Religion of the Great Force, the Jedi, answers better than any other that I have found the spiritual demands my soul makes on its locus in the cosmos.

Who are we to judge what another group of people belive as we have are own belives and we must respect that and let others have theirs

To beable to answer this you must read all religion's, many interweave with other's. And many talk of a single overall "Power".

Everyone believes what they believe. End of story.

Jedi is the only true religion

What may be true for one, may not be true for another. Jedi should discover facts and leave the truth to the individual.

Not in fact, but in truth.

what is good and what is bad is non-nagotable

people can choose what they think but I am not one to pass judgement.

All religions have some kernel of truth at their core, they all strive to know the force

Each person seeks truth as best they can whether they realize they seek it or not.

all religions started from the force

We must allow ppl to believe what they want to believe. After all are we not allowed free will?

All religion can be true in itself, truth is a matter of perspective.

All religions are true, they exist and have believers. The question is whether a person's beliefs are valid or not in a wider universe. Even then, does not the act of believing in a thing give it some level of reality?

All carry the same message of love and peace to gain harmony with the force/God

The Jedi Faith is True. I can prove the existence of the Force within five minutes. No other Religion can prove the existence of their spiritual power.

its for you to decide

if you have plenty of followers any thing can become true

it is our perception of all things that differs not the truth. truth is always the same and in that lies the possibility for all religions to be true...with only our perception that differs. Perception is everything, to a worm digging in the dirt is more fun than going fishing.

Bullshit, every religions must be tolerated, maybe one that is not appealing to us will bring salvation to somebody else.

Truth is reality and reality is belief without it we are nothing

They all lead to the same thing...

whats to say other peoples religions arnt true. i follow the jedi faith all the way. but as longs as people dont question my religious choice then i wont question theres :)

God is the wall; Truth is the light shining the way to the wall; Religion is the lamp.

Why the hell not? There could be loads of Gods up there havin one big rave.

Every religion is true to someone.

what you believe to be true in your heart is true...it's all about faith in what you believe in. It's personal for every person.

It's called FAITH

Why not?

I strongly disagree! I feel that all religions are basically the same morally, some gets lost in translation. many cultures have different names for the sun and moon but we all look up at the same thing.

religion is based on the beliefs of oneself, anyone can believe anything, shouldnt we respect that

Not for us to validate any others beleif. If you really beleive in the Force then they are all manifestations of the same all pervading energy or whatever it is. How an individual wishes to translate that faith is dependent on their own circumstances. Some religions have strayed from the core values, been manipulated by greed and power hungry people. The 'Sith' are among us if you wish to use that movie analogy.

Religion is just an interpretation of the force. A human definition of God.

Yes it can or people would of never picked it and join that religion now would they once again i stand ready to take on the replys people are ready to send me on how i am wrong :D

Who are we to disprove or prove anothers beleifs, we are above doing such things.

all religions are true and no1 can prove me wrong.

All religions are true to those who believe in them.

we all follow one path, in the end we all pay for crimes commited and reap the benefits of good done. all we can do is push our cause and try to enlighten others.

A religion in defines as what a person believes in. If we say that a religion is not true then we are saying that their belief is not true. Essential saying they are wrong about everything they live for.

Faith is subject to the needs and wishes of the people at a certain time. Religion is ever changing, faith is ever changing. The only thing that remain the same are the natural laws and force of nature.

There is no ignorance only knowledge

Myths which are believed in tend to become true. Orwell

The truth of a religion is based on the individual case. Religion is a way for humans to maintain moral, good lives.

The force penetrates all. People will always follow what they wish but you cannot interfere with free will

what u belive is true is true

What is true or not is objective. The only true "Truth" is the Force, which is, so far, inherent in all philosophy.

A religion is what YOU believe in. If you believe it to be true, then it is to you.

It is not our place to tell others the way they see the force is wrong, they will choose thier own path. as long as what they do does not fall unto the darkside. it is true to them.

All religions have some truth in them its jsut picking out that truth that proves difficult

all religions have some good

all religions can be true. who is one to tell another what to believe in?

The Jedi Codex teaches tolerance no religion has the right to invalidate another.

 

Reasons To Agree

there is but one religion and I am the God of it now bow before me and ladies get into your steel bikinis

they can all very well be wrong

There are no true religions, they are all myths fabricated by the human mind. Still I like myths and so I decide to believe in the Jedi Religion.

No religion is true, this only a thing to keep people in ingnorance.

Religions are all true in that the people who follow them believe. Personally, I think anybody dumb enough to follow what is basically a fairytale deserve the shit that happens. The deeply religious that still die praying to an imaginary friend ? Priceless idiots.

Only ours is true! xD

most religions are mutually exclusive, which means that only one (or very few related ones) can be true.

there are some bullshit ones like mormonism

If that is what they believe then fine.

don't follow did religion, follow church of the holy donut or pastafarionism

There is no denying this. A large number of religions require belief in the "truth" of their statements. However, not all religions fall into this category. There are a number of religions, and Jedi is one of them, that are merely philosophical belief structures. These religions have no built in requirement about being "true".

Are any of them true? Religion is just something someone wishes to beleive to gain a better understanding of the universe and to give them direction in life. Jedi FTW!

i totally agree in fact we have based our entire civilization on religion and empire thesis. and its only caused war, plague, famine, pestilence, and the icecapades?! still we should base religion on faith and faith alone.. so its not what you have faith on .. its only that you have the faith.. now if only i can get this mind levitation thing going ..eh?

yes jedi is the only true religion (im sitting hear in a room with 8 other jedis (and 1 sith)

How can every religion be true when most of them claim that all competing religions are "demonic"? The greatest evil is that which is done in the name of "good".

I don't believe there is a correct religion. The Jedi are the way to live to become divine.

Can't trust a religion that imposes its ways with blood and death

Sure. None are.

all religions have common shared truths and spend too much time arguing over their differences. Those common truths are innate moral truths that even athiests believe also.

Truth is truth is truth. Regardless of what I believe truth remains truth. If I knew that I believed an idiotic set of beliefs that told me I need to wear a retarded robe and own a lightsaber that doesn't make it true.

its a game of chineese whispers. 1000 years ago god could have made the world with the help of the buddha. but in 1000 years time it could be the scientology idea of how the universe was formed

jedi is the one true calling

Do yous beleave in someone that does'nt exist, someone you can't see.

If all religions were true, then the universe was created by many different Gods and governed by many different forces. This would not work.

Not all religions can be completely true, but all religions can hold some truth.

Too many religions rely on the supernatural to make their points. Since the supernatural has never been proven, these religions are based on lies.

No religion is TRUE, it's all about one persons FAITH.

There are too many differences between many of them for them to ALL be true.

Jediism is the only true religion.

it depends on one's faith - if one has faith, then the religion is quite possibly the right one... for him/her.

Only those encompassing the force can be truly believed. Perhaps they may not refer to it as 'the force' but all those preaching something alike, are true, and all those not, are not.

Because if they contradict one another, one must be wrong. Christianity says that Jesus Christ is the embodiment of God. Islam says he is not. One is wrong.

most are full of shit

Truth is subjective. What is truth to one is blasphemy to others. The attempt by many to put a face and name on the Living Force, like god, allah, jesus, ganesha, is a naieve attempt to make the Force more human. We as Jedi should only be focused on becoming truely one with the Force. To put a human face on the Force is a childish and in-effective way of living your life.

NO religion is truth.

Proof is true, Religion doesn't always have truth-although this doesn't really concern the Jedi way as it is a state of mind so therfore it can't be proven false.

Cults are technically religious beliefs. When someone accepts somethng which is simply not true, then it is a untrue religion. Also the internal being wishes and is programmed to unite with the force, anything which would oppose the balance, or denies the validity of the force is false.

Religion = A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe. Without perfect knowledge how can any religion be complete and entirely true? Some religions are no doubt truer than others.

Religion is a lie, there is only the force.

On a personal level, I believe all religions are evil and come from the dark side.

Quantum theory and string theory say the force is true, and sense were all Jedi, science backs up our religion unlike other faith that go against science.

Religion is for one-self, and it's different for each individual. HOWEVER: a lot of religions contradict one another, and therefore not all can be true; if any at all.

No religion is provably true, if it were, it would not be a religion by definition. religion requires faith, not truth.

religion is a lie...

true

I have to agree that to each thier own with religon.

"Religion is a prison to the seekers of wisdom." Confused not the words religion and faith. Dogmatic restriction is far from the spiritual liberation which the Jedi represents. I have witnessed every manner of atrocity in the name of religion. True faith lies in righteous action, defence of the helpless, and acting with the Force as your guide. When we lost our awe in the force, we created religion. When we lost our consience, we created morality.

i dont really understand this but i know one idea must be true, we'll just find out when we die, but for now JEDI ALL THE WAY

No religion has shown that it is 100% true

nor are they all wrong. Who truly knows the will of the force

Jediism is the only true religion, Darth Vader is the anti jedi!!!

the religions are false the only taht exist is Yahave and the force, that its a creation of Yahave

It is possible for a religion to be false.

yes, not ALL religion can be true, for there can only be One that is true. All others are imitations.

There are no provably true religions, they are all fabricated by the human mind to expain the world/universe around us and are based on faith. Having analysed the others, I decided to believe in the Jedi Religion

All have some truth, but not all are valid.

all religions believe in a higher bewing or force but have different things that happen and different teachings

We have all seen the conflicts of the world, we know that people for the most part to get their idea across will speak of a greater being telling them to do as they hear. I would see that people understand the philosophies that these other religions teach and add them to our core values of trusting in the force. For everyone sees the force differently

Jedi is the only one kill the infidels or the non jedi s lol !!!

Obviously. The only true religion left out there is the Church of Jedi

Reasons for Remain Neutral

True, thus the need to question everything. There are no definite answers.

There is no way to know.

nobody knows the true power of religion

There is no proof of any religion and therefore no religion can be a "true" religion. What you believe is true for you and that is all that should matter.

What you believe is True.

a religion is what a person believes in

wat u r brought up wit is true !!!

it's all chinese whispers and as a freedom of speach i vote jedi

Why not? they are all as valid a the next.

There is Sith influence everywhere. The question should be "Can some religions be without corruption". T or F?

Its not out place to say what people should believe. Some believe in the dark side, others the light

My main question of any religion isn't whether or not it's true but whether or not it helps people live better lives. Does it give strength, does it bring peace, does it point towards the light?

This depends on what "Truth" really is - unfortunately, some religions are complete bunk, crafted by chronic liars to have it their way or to invest in money-making scams - or by complete crackpots who believe they are speaking to higher powers when they are, in fact, not. Even so, to those who follow those religions, it is completely true - and who's not to say that the human mind cannot affect reality? And given that our religion stems from a space fantasy flick, we shouldn't consider ourselves the judges.

dont know

religion is usualy true to the followers

From what i have seen is not all "religions" basically the same...now days...you have the Jews Christians and Islamic people who if you read all believe in the same god for they all believe they came from Adam....and almost every other religion believes in one all powerful Force or God that binds and controls everything...so in my opinion there must have been one true religion that it all just branched out from.

If "FAITH" exist is that "false" and "true" don't exist, because is impossible estabilish a clare diference.

I am the Universe Jedi Train and prepare yourselves restore balance

If enough people believe it, then it is a real religion

They all have truths and non truths

If one religion is true then they all have to be true. If one religion is false then they all have to be false.

religions are true to those that believe them.

Religion is what you put in to them, what you believe to be true, so if you believe for them to be then they are.

Religion has nothing to do with truth or not, it is a set way of practice and instruction to archive a means.

We are protectors; Guardians of light; keepers of the balance. Matters like this are unintelligable discussions and of little importance to us.

Quantum mechanics teaches us to take the law of the excluded middle with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, it would be fair to say that any religion claiming to be the one true religion is a false religion.

Faith is the key. If someone holds true faith in something, then, at least to then, it is true.

Truth cannot be known in human terms. All we can do is live our lives the best we can. All religions hold keys to truth, but no one religion is any more correct than any other. Even religions of the Darkside have truth to them, though it is truth of Darkness and should be avoided.

it all depends on faith :)

depend...

You can believe anything you want, even science fiction writers can create a religion that millions believe ie L.Ron Hubband (Scientology) It is better to have an idea, beliefs cause all of the wars in the world. It is easier to change an idea than a belief. Quoted from some movie or some book.

What each individual believes is their TRUTH, however, scientifically speaking,no.

religion is personal and by point of view

Take the essence out of all religions you know, mix it and look at it. If you find something that is in all religions, you may look at a piece of truth.

True religion is within you , you know what's RIGHT and what's WRONG .

It is not the Jedi's place to judge.

its not about what u beleive in just as long as u beleive

All religions have their myths and their facts; it's up to the believer to decide which is which, and even learn from the myths.

It depends if you are a follower of that Religion.

All legitimate religions have the same tennants at thier foundation. Respect for life, the belief or understanding that something greater than themselves brought about the universe they are a part of, and ultimately they will return to that creator. A religion is not a matter of truth but of belief and a journey of understanding. In that respect all religions have truths in them but are not necessarily true as a whole.

It is what in your heart that matters - too many atrocities are committed in the name of religion.

ALL RELIGIONS ARE FALSE IF THEY MAKE A HISTORICAL CLAIM. Relgions are about BELIEF, not abt truth. Is Jediism true, that may depend upon your defn of The force.

Religion is faith, not truth.

All religions are both true and untrue. The Truth of the Force is greater than we can comprehend.

I feel I have no right to take a side on such a question. Therefore, to remain neutral is the right thing for me to do.

As someone wise before me: Religion is faith, not truth.

Religion is neither truth nor false, The individual who believes is the only one to decide one way or the other.

OUr for fathers founded this great country of the USA to give us freedom of religion and diplomacy. All nations should have freedom in their beliefs.

there is no way to know

There is no hard evidence to prove religions right or wrong.

Life will lead you to your sacred place.

Parts of all religions are true, if we find all that is the same in every religion, the truth will be set free.

It is not a case of Fiction and Non-Fiction...Only The Force, and how people interpret it.

There is truth and lie in all religions.
