Star Wars as Religion

It's silly to believe in something that's written by people with no religious or spiritual background as fact. It's sillier when those people write for the purpose of gaining power. Still, it's okay to be silly if nobody gets hurt, yes? Enter Star Wars.

I'm not personally a believer in Star Wars. I do believe in The Force, but i believe The Force is like Qi (Chi), an invisible web of positive or negative energy that flows through everything and holds it all together. That's about all i take from it in practice.

In inspiration, however, there are stories of men and women fighting for noble causes, physically, mentally, morally, ethically, emotionally... battles against themselves, their friends, and their sworn enemies. The line between good and evil is much more clear than in, say, The Bible? It's okay to draw inspiration from these places. Whatever gives you the courage to face another day.
