Comments on: God, the Ori, and Stargate http://www.corbystephens.com/2008/10/14/god-the-ori-and-stargate/ Where Introvert Meets Internet Mon, 07 Jun 2010 06:57:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Corby http://www.corbystephens.com/2008/10/14/god-the-ori-and-stargate/comment-page-1/#comment-393 Corby Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:17:02 +0000 http://www.corbystephens.com/?p=215#comment-393 Thanks, Chu. It's funny, it really irritated me for a while because I couldn't figure out where the difference was. I knew it was a clouded representation. The key difference is that the Ori give a standard to be lived up to, a rule book to follow, whereas Jesus lived up to the standard for us, we just have to receive His grace by faith. God went out of His way so that people wouldn't have to spend eternity separated from Him. What more can we ask of Him? Thanks, Chu.

There are many. They took all the bad examples and interpretations that are sadly lived out and put them on TV. My point is that it is an inaccurate representation, though it is the representation most people have in their heads.

You're too stupid to realise the Ori are a giant copy paste of Christianity in every way? Their believers seriously think they are doing the right thing. They believe they're going to ascend with the Ori. They believe if they are bad, they will get burnt at the stake. Sounds familiar. Too familiar. Seriously?
