Spirituality has said to be as simple as the difference between love and fear.
Coming from a fearful view anger, and all other bad emotions can emanate.
Coming from love potential can become reality (or something like that)

So you agree that life is wholistic and though you should try to come from a place of love you still must embrace the All (including the dark side)?

Not at all grasshopper. You were correct that you think the star wars religion is essentially true.

But the Jedi aren't supposed to feel love, or passion of any kind. Your analogy is not apt.

Did I say that?

I thought I said "Ying and Yang"?

Should I bother checking you think?

edit:I repeated your "dark side" comment and you went from there...ahhh!
C.mon, this just proves my point about fearful thinking not getting anywhere

"Love" is a person. Everything exists because of God. God is love.

Fear is the absence of love. Fear comes in the absence of God.

Man was made to love his God, and to be loved by God.

Without God there is no perfect love, which casts out fear.

1 John 4:16-19
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us.

Sometimes perfect love takes the form of whipping people with ropes.
