Jedi

Free Briton · 13-01-2007, 04:56 PM

hi, i am part of an unofficial religion which praises the force. in other words, i am a Jedi.

a few years ago, my dad said on the thing the government send out to see exactly which religions are in the UK. And more than 10,000 said they were Jedi. if anyone wants to help start up this religion, whether they are Sith Lords or not, please contribut below. and use the poll.

Lol.

This made me chortle.

Thought the first 3 films were great (or were they the 'last' 3 films?), and the other 3 were ok. Didn't know there was a 'Church of Jedi' though.

What does your girlfriend think about all this though Free Briton?

The Census is referred to (not by name) in the first posting to this thread.

One question that needs to be asked, since the subject of the Census has been touched on, is why English was not an option on the Census form.

People were asked if they were Welsh, Scottish and a range of other groups. But not if they were one of the 50 million people of England.

This is another example of blatant anti-English prejudice. :x :evil:

I think that this is a more important matter than the Jedi Knights - amusing though it was for many (not including the statisticians :twisted: ) to see so many people snub authority and put Jedi Knights as their religion in the last Census.

Meh, I would have put British anyway.

Given it's based on a movie, I don't see Jedi as a religion.

Besides, it has plenty of parallels to Taoism.

Then again, I give Scientology no grounds for religion.

I'm staying neutral on this one. I know its a few nerds and some jokers having a laff, but it also has some good values.
