Church of the Lord of the Force

Write the text of your article here! The Church of the Lord of the Force was a religion that viewed the Force as a manifestation of the Judeo-Christian God.

Theology

The Church of the Lord of the Force viewed the light side of the Force as a manifestation of God, the creator and sustainer of the universe, while the dark side was viewed as a manifestation of the devil.

The Church was monotheistic, so only God, the Lord of the Force, was actually worshiped, but the Jedi were seen as angels serving the Force-God, while the Sith were viewed as the devil's angels. It was believed during the Rise of the Empire and Rebellion eras that Palpatine was the devil himself.

Denominations

The Church of the Lord of the Force was divided into several denominations, or sects, that followed God and the Force in a variety of ways.

Church of the Living Force

This Church's followers lived in the moment as often as possible and concentrated on care and compassion for the lives of others.

Church of the Personal Force

This Church's believers had a very personal and private relationship with the Force, and would either submit or modify everything in their lives to the will of God-Force.

Church of the Unifying Force

This Church concentrated on time and space as a whole and was about fulfilling a destiny for the glory of God. It also encouraged its followers to make their own philosophy or view of the Force.

Mirialan Church

The highly religious near-humans of this Church believed that their actions contributed to their destiny, and tattooed their faces and hands to signify that they had completed a certain test or task. They chiefly revered the Unifying Force, but the Living and Personal Force were also available to them. They were disciplined, Orthodox believers, but repressed (though some were more passionate) and they valued the approval of God and the Force more than any other known race or Church.

Kiffar Church

The Kiffar believed in peace not war, and make love not war, were more passionate than the Mirialans, and believed that family values were more were one of the most important things in their worship rituals and devotion to God. Their own tattoos signified that the power of the Force flowed from the mother to her children, because, to them, the mother gave life, and the Force was passed on through family heritage.
