Which force is stronger? Let's compare the "Forces"
Stars Wars' Force
Dark and light side
[The dark side is] Quicker,
easier, more seductive.
Yes, a Jedi's strength flows
from the Force. But beware
of the dark side. Anger, fear,
aggression; the dark side of the
Force are they. Easily they flow,
quick to join you in a fight. If
once you start down the dark
path, forever will it dominate
your destiny, consume you it will,
as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice!
(Episode V)

The Spirit's Force
Holy and loving
"If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--the Spirit of truth."
(John 14:15-17)

Mysterious
For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
Life creates it, makes it grow.
Its energy surrounds us
and binds us. Luminous
beings are we, not this
crude matter. You must feel
the Force around you;
between you, me, the tree,
the rock, everywhere. Yes,
even between the land and
the ship.
(Episode V)

Revealed
"The world cannot accept [the Spirith, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
"All this I have spoken while still with you."
(John 14:17-25).

Fickle
The dark side has clouded the
Force . . . masking the future,
is this disturbance in the Force
(Episode II)
Hard to see, the dark side is.
Fear is the path to the dark
side. Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate. Hate
leads to suffering.
I sense much fear in you.
(Episode I).

Faithful
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
(John 14:26-27)
