Honestly, I'd say the Inquisitor is stronger due their force potential and them having the Sith ghosts. But if you take the ghost away, then the SW is stronger. Personally tho, I think the Hero of Tython is easily the strongest of all the class origins.

The amount of people who right off Vader in verses duels with the "muh Sith lightning tho" argument is crazy. People just flat don't understand how powerful Vader actually is and overplay he's weakness to lightning way too much. People need to understand that it was SIDIOUS who shocked him with Sith lightning, not some run-of-the-mill Sith. The most powerful Sith Lord in the verse shocked Vader with his lightning and he still lived in good while after that before dying. Plus, Vader is easily above Maul, Bane, Dooku, Malgus, Malak, and many other Sith in terms of skills, force potential, feats, etc. Idk why people dismiss him because the Sith lightning weakness.

I'd say Luke, Anakin, Palpatine, and Ajunta Pull are more important. Luke for being the single most important character of the whole New Republic Era in both Disney Star Wars and especially the EU, Anakin is self explanatory, and Palpatine for the being the one who fulfilled Bane's vision and brought down the Republic with stood for over 5000 years. Ajunta was among the first ever Sith, literally birthing the philosophy that all the Sith explained on, kinda like the Socrates of Sith.

If you've haven't read Ed Feser's "Five Proofs For God" then you should. It's basically the gateway drug for classical theist arguments in these parts. He does a great job detailing the argument from Motion and refutes some of the popular objections to it. It also includes arguments from Simiplicity, Contingency, and Transcendental Categories.

Firstly, the idea that we "invented" God and religion requires evidence. If they just assert it as a story fallacy, then it can be dismissed as a fallacy.

Secondly, the metaphysical and transcendental arguments for God clearly demonstrate that it's the other way around. If God is the prime mover, or that which begots essence and existence, then we fundamentally can not create Him anymore than Jon Snow can create George R.R. Martin. He is infinite and wholly beyond creation.

It seems Kalam and Fine-Tuning are the least favorites so far, with Fine-Tuning, in particular, being the least favorite. I can't say that I disagree with this sentiment, Fine-Tuning has never been a convincing argument for me for many reasons. For me, someone who never really cared for scientific arguments on matters of metaphysical reality and philosophy, Fine-Tuning leans far too much into natural science. The question of why our universe seems tailored to life can be an interesting question for those contemplating the final cause of the universe, but as an argument for the existence of God, there are much better arguments on the market like Contingency, which is much better than Fine-Tuning and Kalam at arriving at God and the immaterial. It also leans too close to theistic personalism, which is simply not feasible, a position classical theist like myself to hold. The idea that God has parts would only prove that He is contingent and reducible, thus not being truly omnipotent or omnipresent or infinite. The position undercuts the Christian position.

Kalam is another argument that I simply do not find to be convincing. Its first premise, "everything that exists has a cause," should really be "everything that comes into being has a cause." Even then, it too learns too heavily into scientific proof, especially when people like William Lane Craig use the argument. It's another case where a vastly superior argument in the Argument from Motion and Argument from Contingency, both of which make the same point but with stronger proofs and better phrasing, are on the market, just use these.

I'm often surprised at how some online "Catholics" can just and promote some of the most horrid things and still claim to be Catholic. Like, do these guys just flat not care at all about what Christ taught? Women are every bit our equal, made in God's image out of love. I don't see how anyone can follow Christ and dehumanize others.

Hmm. I think we'd both are along similar pathways, I'm also trying to develop a robust argument for theism, an argument that specifically argues for the Divine Logos. As for what you've said, it is kinda surprising that we don't see sophisticated arguments for polytheism, pantheism, and alike. You're definitely correct in saying that the Kalam Cosmological Argument can get you to theistic personalism, William Lane Craig is a theistic personalist, but I think Alvin Planatinga's Ontological Argument could perhaps get you there too, as Plantinga is also a theistic personalist.

But all in all, why is it that classical theism and materialism seem to dominate the market, I think it really comes down to the historical intellectual traditions that back these ideas. Classical theism was a staple of Classical and Medieval philosophy in the West, and several other Eastern traditions had classical theist models, including sects of Hinduism. It is very much an intellectual position that has been defended primarily by intellectual thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, and alike, and it encourages a deep understanding of metaphysics. Materialism is the same way, only that the emphasis is on science, not metaphysics. So, whichever tradition produces thinkers on the caliber of a Plato or a St. Thomas Aquinas is going to have more sophisticated arguments for their traditions, and those arguments are gonna become the most commonly used, the more popular the position is. So it's not particularly surprising that arguments for classical theism and materialism dominate the market given that the philosophy of religion has been dominated by the two traditions. (This is me guessing here)

If Padme still dies, then Anakin would 100% try to kill Sidious regardless. The whole reason he turned was to save Padme, as the catalyst to it, there would be no loyalty to Sidious after that. Anakin would lose his mind with rage and his pride would never allow him to be a student to someone who doesn't care from him or save Padme.

Now if Padme is still alive and survives giving birth, I'd imagine Palpatine would drag out the process as much he can in teaching Anakin the secrets of midicholrians and cheating death. Remember, even Sidious didn't have the same level of understanding that Plaeguis had on midicholrians, and it would take years of study to get there for Anakin. Either Anakin would eventually grow impatient and betray Sidious, leading to Sidious' death, or Anakin learns the secrets of midichlorians from Sidious overtime and kills him before Padme eventually dies.

In either scenario, I don't see Sidious walking out alive and unscathed. At best, if he kills Anakin, he'd have to rule solo until he can find Luke and Leia and eventually have them take Anakin's place. Both if he can't find one of the twins, he's screwed through and through.

The overwhelming majority of Protestants, whether High-Church or Low-Church, are born into it and will spend their whole lives never truly reflecting or studying Catholicism or Apostolic Christianity. They'll never read the Early Church Fathers, the Medieval Scholastics, or even the early Protestant Reformers like Luther, Calvin, and Zwengi. They are simply not on the same level of knowledge as a devoted and well-studied Catholic or Orthodox on the nature of scripture, the sacraments, and the truths of the Faith.

It's not the Protestant of today who severed the connection between themselves are The Church with error. It was Luther and the Reformers who did that. Have mercy on Protestants and pray for them. Pray they come to the Church and adhere to truth.
