Hilde Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah it is a weird quote. I'm not sure what it adds to the story or the moral of the story.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 My best friend went out to a country bar recently and won open mic night. He posted it on his facebook and our theology professor saw and congratulated him the next day. Of course my friend was shocked. My professor replied: "I find your lack of faith disturbing. Judge me by my size you do. For the internet is my ally and a powerful ally the internet is." hahaha

Ephrem Augustine Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 [quote name='Hilde' date='04 May 2010 - 01:42 PM' timestamp='1272998527' post='2104910'] discuss [/quote] My personal opinion... Kenobi is not referring to absolute truths: [quote] ANAKIN: Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, justice, freedom, and security to my new Empire. OBI-WAN: Your new Empire? ANAKIN: Don't make me kill you. OBI-WAN: Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic ... to democracy. ANAKIN: If you're not with me, you're my enemy. OBI-WAN: Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. I will do what I must. [/quote] I think that Annikan is unwilling to compromise on something incredibly irrational. His emotions have caused him to believe that he is absolutely right. I think that Obi Wan Kenobi could be referring to that.

[/quote] I think Obi Wan is referring to Anakin's statement that those not for him are against him, which is an absolute as it leaves no middle ground. Then again Jesus didn't think there was a middle ground either

Nihil Obstat Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 If the Jedi didn't deal in absolutes, then they'd just leave the sith alone........ because the sith might be right too, after all.
