First off, I am a Christian. That is a far a distinction as I am willing to make. When Lucas created the philosophy behind the Jedi and the Sith, he pulled from nearly every society and religeon on earth, to include Christianity. I really doubt the intentions and sincerity of someone who bases an entire sermon on the "Evil of Star Wars" when there is so much true evil to expose and clean up. Do they now plan to start burning Star Wars books as they burned Harry Potter books.
Those kinds of actions smack of Fanaticism. Fanaticism in ANY religeon is a dangerous thing. Christians are not free of fanaticism in their churches. Look back to the struggle between the Protestants and the Catholics. Horrors committed by both sides are nearly unspeakable. Catholics torturing Protestants to admit to "crimes" they didn't commit (the Inquisition). Protestants burning Catholics in front of the church after they crucified them.
Try to keep an open, non judgmental mind when listening to "sermons" about this kind of stuff. If the best your church can do is attack something like Star Wars, then perhaps you need to question if they are really meeting your religious needs.
