I SAW IT! "'Force' continues to be strong; 'Star Wars' breaks another box-office record "- MyNewsLA.com

I was there in 1977 when it first began (saw it in grand rapids) & finally saw "force" on Sunday . It was good,maybe very good,but not sure it was great. But in order to remain popular cultural literate,I had to know what happens. And so I'm up-to-date.

A CHRISTIAN PASTOR's WARNING ABOUT STAR WARS

"
Christian author Pastor David J. Meyer, once a practicing
witch, explains the true meaning of "May the Force be
with you." He wrote: "When real witches have sabats and
esbats and meet as a coven, they greet each other by
saying "Blessed be," and when they part, they say "The
Force be with you." Both sides of this "Force" are Satan.
It is not a good side of the force that overcomes the bad
side of the force, but rather it's the blood of Jesus Christ
that destroys both sides of the satanic Force..."

QUENTIN DOUBLES DOWN: "Tarantino: I 'Utterly Reject' Argument That Only Some Cops Are Bad"

[I think he's right,but I pray for the good cops to remain good & make the bad be better]
""I completely and utterly reject the bad apples
argument," the director told EW . "Chicago just got
caught with their pants down in a way that can't be
denied. But I completely and utterly reject the 'few bad
apples' argument. Yeah, the guy who shot [Laquan
McDonald] is a bad apple. But so are the other eight or
nine cops that were there that said nothing, did
nothing, let a lie stand for an entire year."..."

LOTS OF PARALLELS BTW STAR WARS & CHRISTIAN FAITH:"Church goes ‘Star Wars’ to show Christmas story"

Although I think churches need to be careful about making our faith too much about a black-white
us-good versus them-evil . It should be more about us-forgiven versus them-unrepentant (or not yet convicted of their sinfulness). Christians are actually closer to the side of convicted prisoners (who have repented & asked Christ to be their Savior) rather than perfect citizens. An abortion doctor,for that matter,might be a perfect citizen,right? He hasn't broken any laws.

"Berlin's Zions Church is going to open its pre-Christmas
service with music from the "Star Wars" blockbuster
series, excerpts from the George Lucas production and
movie trailers, and remarks about the "juxtaposition .."

“& there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch
over their flocks at 
night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, & theglory of the Lord shone around them, & they were terrified. But the angelsaid to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that
will be for all the people. Today in the

favor rests."
