'It is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven.'

Here's an interesting thought that occured to me...

According to the Bible, Jesus took the sins and iniquities of mankind as his own when he was crucified, so in other words, he took the punishment for everyone's sins. This allowed him to travel to Hell to take back the people who were meant for Heaven. He never really "SINNED" but he took everyone's sins, thus becoming the "SINNER".

Here's the Star Wars parallel: Anakin turned to the Dark Side, and this allowed him to destroy Palpatine.

 

Darth Sin wrote:

"In Luke 4:5-7, when Satan tempts Jesus, he shows him the kingdoms of this world(earth), and their glory, and he tells Jesus he will give him their authority and power if he will worship him."

If I remember correctly, Luke is the only evangelist that records this detail.

Sidious is going to make a similar offer, but he won't be refused.

In a way, the OT is all about the "good news" according to Luke Skywalker.

 

I'd rather be a "somebody in Heaven" than a "nobody on earth and Hell"!

Do you really want to be tortured every day and night for all of eternity? I hate pain and suffering...

Heaven is like "Cheers" where everybody knows your name.

Hell is like DMV where you are just number.
