Reasons To Disagree
They can be prone to error in translation, but that would make them a new thought, which is just as valid as the original, or even moreso. not all of them just most of them (espeshaly the afgans and iraq's (i dont the the karan or what ever they read said any thing about suiside bombing any one that dose not beleave the same as you)
but 911 the american only have g.w.bush to blame he funded biladin's training and sent him to try and kill sadam and and there there count deposits made into g.w bushes (senior) bank acount from the binladins since 911 hmm coinsident they dint catch him If you gain some knowledge from the allegory,
then there was truth in it for you,
therefore there is no error. "All", that sure seems final and extreme. That's like saying that "all" of the members of this church are mindless children that will (or do) live with their parents at the age of 40. I know that a bunch of you do. "All", that seems extreme and final to me. There are truths in all things, and allowing the force to guide your understanding, then you get sincere truth and vision. Also I think what you get from something depends on where you are in your personal awakening to the force. It would be true that religious stories interpreted by people are prone to error and there may be errors in the translation. But who are we to say that other life forms don't interpret and have their own religious stories? The "All" is an unwarranted assumption that should be removed from this question. Religious stories are there to be interpreted by the reader. There is always a deeper meaning, which will more often then not vary depending on the person reading it. only jedi religios stories are true except jedi

Reasons To Agree
walk on water i saw some bloke walk on custared braniak science abuse kickes ass We are all human and can miss the intended meaning of anything quite easily. We are only human and as they say "to er is human" All but my religion now bow! Heisnburgs law Why else would there be so many different religions, all led by the same books There are fourty two missing books out of the old testment.How can anyone tell how much that might change the old testment god
its not the same the bible of the christians for the bible of mormons Crusades are a prime example the truth is writed by the survivors, and not always the good ones There is certainty that one could interpret a translation correctly. leonardo da vinci do i need to say anymore We are merely human. Jedi or not we make mistakes. The Christian Bible was put together by uneducated white Europeans under Emperor Constantine. They left out many books that "Indigenous Christians" had considered holy during the birth of Christianity. It is not hard to believe that these sheltered white males would make serious mistakes. They are already being addressed on television actually. i think there are 13 subtotal versions of the Bible minus the new testament? thats saying a lot about religious interpretation with those "versions" alone. With the exception of Jedi Religious stories are depictions of choices which each person will face at some time in their lives. All religious stories are interpreted in the context of the culture in which they are read. Ever hear of the Albigensians? No? That's because they were exterminated by the Catholics during the 4th Crusade for being "heretics". Their crime? Disagreeing with the "party line" of the Church of Rome. Quod erat demonstrandum. yes but the religion means different things to different people The people who write them gain the power to change or not the story at hand. People will change storys because they want you to belive in what they do. Almost no man could pass that up. too true that Have u seen how the chineese translate to english, Starbucks meet starbutts Half of what Christians believe in the Bible aren't meant to be taken the way that they do. Of course. Humans make mistakes. everyone makes mistakes.. nobodys perfect the christist bible, need i say more? Al religions come from one ancient religion, but they got washed out in times went bye. People lie for their own benefit. Greed can be powerful. Nobody is perfect to believe yourself so is to invite the dark side into your life. take jesus christ for example, maybe he wasnt the all powerful son of god, maybe just a really ahead of his time street magician Obviously, look to the core within. Read the bible in it's many translations, and you will see that EVERYBODY has a different interpretation....
Reading it in different languages is VERY enlightening.
In each language, sometimes it is EXTREMELY diffrent... The holy bible is the cause of death, war, and hunger. Yeah to a point there is such as famous battles and middle eastern religion stories can be turned along with asian and european but we all have error we must beat the error to fix are mistakes and this will never be done so yeah there are errors in translation just play the game tele phone with about 20 people and see what happens :D This is essentialy the same question as already been asked. A Jedi must stay focused and not cloud an issue by continuing to ask the same question a different way other than to promote the understaing that the two questions are infact the same question and should have infact have the same responce. A Jedi should always be aware of deception in its many forms. This goes without saying. Common life mistake. Changes will happen but so long as their are enough people that believe the changed versions then it should carry on. Relgions that stay EXACTLY the same will likely fail. it is the same as the chinese whisper
you may spread the word of something but when it comes back to you, it may be completely different...such is everything in life Mankinds foolishness and need for understanding seek us to religion. Trying to explain what we cannot in ways understandable for a human. The force cannot be explained, it's inevetable. All stories are morals meant to be understood, yet there are very few who would ever understand the same story the same way. those storie's along with everything else is open to translation to that person. Errors or intentional corruption. Pearls cast before swine are worthless. People will only see as much as their own evolution will allow them. Fundamentalist tension as a result of literal dogmatism and self-serving adgendas. It's so petty and far from true faith. They see the holes in the fabric, not the fabric itself. Each hold a shard of a mirror, and screams that their own is the only one that reflects. not all yup Most subjects in life can be misheard or misunderstood. Religion was 'invented' as a guideline for humanity.
So we all have the same idea's and values, and therefore live 'in theory' in peace.
The bible, is a STORY, aimed at inspiring people to be good x Even though they may be done thusly, it allow for people to actively read their religious text we are men what can we do?
there is too much error in other religions, thats why I feel my way using the force it is an unfortunate fact that people are wrong sometimes may the force be with you in interpereting messages we are guided by the force, however we do not always listen. This is true but ones interpretation of the teaching of a religion are very important Over eons and millenniums, the word of man has been handed down from generations to generations, there is no doubt that the generation before will teach the generation after of all the teachings they know. its like photocopying of an original, and then photocopying the copy. After about 10 times, its still looks similar to the original but is somewhat distorted. Just think of someone with a sick mind. You say fishsticks. They here something else. Just like the game of telephone, everything is relative. The only perfect aspect of this Universe is the Force, and the only circumstances where people make error is when we allow our attachments to cloud our judgement of the Force. That does not mean to say that attachments should be forbidden however, for attachments such as love and marriage should be encouraged to allow our knowledge and experience in all aspects of the Force to grow and flourish. All religious stories are interpreted by people and THEREFORE prone to error in translation. This would seem axiomatic to me. Even if the original story was 100% true and correct, people are people, and therefore capable of misinterpreting virtually anything. 100% again, the chris angel theory ... There is no Room for interpretation in the Jedi Codex
interpretations leave room for people who try to manipulate others in doing their bidding Not everything translates correctly, so I agree to that.
