So your reading skills are as flawed as your efforts at theology. Figures.

Although many of the maxims of the Jedi religion are simple calls to honesty, loyalty, and integrity, the core teaching of the Force is directly contrary to the Christian worldview. Jediism’s understanding of the Force as an impersonal power that binds the universe conflicts with the Bible’s teaching of a personal Creator who actively upholds all things (Colossians 1:17). Also, the Star Wars franchise presents the Force as amoral—a power that can be harnessed and manipulated for one’s own purposes, good or evil. This concept, akin to the yin yang of Taoism, is contrary to the Bible’s clear presentation of absolute moral standards and the sovereignty of God. The Taoist and Buddhist beliefs from which the idea of the Force is drawn, the Jedi religion’s humanistic emphasis on our ability to tap into mystical power, and its denial of moral absolutes make the Jedi religion incompatible with biblical Christianity.
