I don't covet your supposed freedom to act like adolescents. Christianity is not repression, to feel like you must say there is more to be learned from star wars, that is repression.
I will admit that I have learned from atheists like David Hume, Frederich Nietzsche and others. You are uncultured fools. Your ignorance gushes out of you.
You aren't even aware of the level of indoctrination it takes to make a statement like starwars provides more value than religion.

Oh, the irony. Please, refrain from personal attacks and stick to the subject of the debate.

I am fairly certain there is something more significant to be gleaned from a Star Wars meme than religion.

If he continues blocking everyone, he will simply be talking to himself in the threads.

He already is. He just waits until someone replies to his monologue before he continues it. Nothing we say actually gets through to the guy.

Your experience is your own and in no way definative of the experience of others or state of things beyond that experience. In other words, I'm glad that you found something that worked - for you-, but that doesn't even remotely demonstrate that the "thing" was what worked...you're just recounting your own experience and testimony (though the implication is subtle, and I appreciate the attempt). I've never needed any god or victory of any christ to handle my own life, but that's just me.
Caveat emptor.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I bet you have never had anyone ask you that in your whole life.
If someone asked that I'd say.
"Do you know what being selfish is?"
when they say yes I'd say.
"don't do that!"
That was easy wasn't it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I want to be a saint. I want everything inside of me that is corrupt and proud and deceitful to dissolve away and the only thing that exists to be the fire of Jesus Christ. I want all my selfish preoccupations to disappear and have nothing but the all consuming love of God in me, to lead all into holiness, and to attain it myself. I am not there but I long to be there.
I don't feel repressed, I feel alive.
