  • Should Christians Do Yoda?

    As I understand it, there has been a lot of debate on Revelife over the last few days, about whether it’s okay for Christians to do Yoda.

    Well, I do suppose it is a bit of a gray area.  After all, nowhere in the Bible does it say “Thou shalt not engage in sexual relations with alien Jedi Masters.”  However, I do think there are several principles you can draw from the Bible that, when extended, do apply to this situation.  For example, if marriage is the only proper forum for sexuality, then a Christian would have to be married to Yoda in order to engage in such relations with him.  (This, of course, would be problematic anyway, first of all because of the Jedi prohibition against romantic entanglement, and secondly because if the Jedi belief system is a religion mutually exclusive with Christianity, then such a marriage would be “unequally yoked.”) 

    However, as repellent as I personally find the idea of engaging in relations with a little green alien, I think the larger application here is–

    Ahem.  Um, sorry, ladies and gentlemen, it turns out the conversation is not about Yoda at all.  Or sex.

    Erm… carry on.
