Neither Jedi nor Sith philosophies adhere particularly closely to any world religion, and atheism isn't a philosophy that can be compared to Star Wars' religions like that. Jedi actually map to a number of Eastern philosophies quite well. Sith are basically just Westerners who deny the value of self-control and and embrace individuality and the drive to succeed at all costs (ie, the Nietzschean "Will to Power"). If not for the "Oh, and you magically become Nazi-level evil the moment you give in" aspect to the Dark Side (which has always been at least somewhat stupid), most people on the board would easily fall into the Sith mentality. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:907928561] in Christians...
