I forgot the book, but it basically took the star wars story and told it from the imperial side. A galaxy where law and order reigned, where everyone was fed, no sickness no, one left behind everyone had equal access and an equal duty to support soceity. But the terrorist rebels who were comprised of drug smugglers, religious fanatics, and anarchists wage their holy war against the established government. and acts like the death star destruction were compared to 9/11 and pearl harbor type attacks..
Quote:In the end terms like 'good guy/bad guy' have very little meaning as all is subjective. when you do not have absolutes.You can't exhale a single breath without hedging when you start talking god, can you?
Quote:Meaning with an ever change sense of morality/righteousness the term bad guy can very eaisly be aplied to anyone including god. Why? because the values that you use to judge can be influenced and change. If that is the case then those values are worthless. so too is any judgement based on them. So to call God a bad guy is the equivalent of the Taliban calling seal team six evil. I mean yes... to the taliban the heros who took out osama would be cnsidered evil, but consider the source..aaaaand we segue from star wars fanfic, to taliban sympathizing....for christ.....
Quote:Likewise God can be call evil but again.. look who is calling God evil.(those who do not want to follow God's laws.)What, do you imagine, is the logical conclusion of this appeal to hypocrisy?
