Hayden Kered Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've heard people around the world claiming Jedi as their official religion, even on documents. He's not the first person to have claimed to being able to use the force, and he won't be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people who put "Jedi" as their religion on official documents are usually just smart-arses doing it for kicks. Not always, but usually.

CSI Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Actually, there is a phoemonon (Whatever the he** it is spelled) in Wikipedia, which I accidently hit it...I think it's in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Its probably a very uncreative name for some agnostic spiritual mumbo-jumbo he's preaching. I've seen Football being added to religion columns many times, as well as Star Wars and Star Trek. It isn't anything serious, just some good Atheist/Agnostic fun.

Rabish Bini Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I worship Darth Maul... Not really, but he is a legend. On topic: Who would worship Star Wars as a religion. That's just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Liking the movies, the games, the idea of that universe is one thing, but making it a religion is just... how do I put it... FANATICISM!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Actually, there is a phoemonon (Whatever the he** it is spelled) in Wikipedia, which I accidently hit it...I think it's in England. 'Phenomenon' Plural: 'phenomena' Yep, people here have been trying for ages to get 'Jedi' made an official religion. I don't think they've yet succeeded. @topic: Ehh. There are *plenty* of deluded people out there. You'll find that the internet is just one more theatre for them to play at You really want a laugh? Look at the claims of a guy called David Icke. Now there, my friends, is lunacy and attention-seeking in a wonderously refreshing combo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace MacLeod Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 You really want a laugh? Look at the claims of a guy called David Icke. Now there, my friends, is lunacy and attention-seeking in a wonderously refreshing combo .David Icke. Oh geez. If L. Ron Hubbard was a nut, that guy's the entire macadamia industry. I knew a guy once who was majorly into his books. He was sort of a casual pub friend, and one day during a discussion about the media and politics, he started mentioning stuff from David Icke's books. At the time, I just thought, "Hmm. I've been having beers and talking to someone who's a complete paranoid schizophrenic for years now..." And yeah, there's a fairly decent chunk of people in the UK at least who list "Jedi" as their religion on the census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I think it's pretty funny. Wasn't there some sort of "Jedi Academy" in Europe somewhere too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathdisco Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Jedi is close to Taoism(IMO). It's mainly based on philosiphys of the far east and some Judeo-christian beliefs. It's not like there isn't any real-world basis for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbieZ Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I believe more in the church of Star Wars than i ever would about Christianity. At least it's got its cool icons what with the Original Testament and the Prequel Testament. Id also consider the Dark forces books a possible bible.

Bob Lion54 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 You would think the King would have a better computer... I could see myself listing "Jedi" as my religion. Not seriously, but why not? Its not like it really matters. Now, the people that do take it seriously... I won't mention any names, but some people may remember a while back someone here claimed to be able to use the force. Ah, the memories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediMaster12 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 If I remember correctly there was a book in the theology section of the bookstore that mentioned something about using the teachings of the Jedi in everyday life. My mouth dropped to the floor when I saw the title and I stared at the book for a full fledged five minutes before shaking my head and picking up my Christian fic book Left Behind. All my mind was saying was 'What will they think of next?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentScope001 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I saw a Jedi Fourm where they were talking about how to avoid the Dark Side, and how one should work together to have the Light Side. They ban the word "sith", because saying it, for some reason, will make you fall to the Dark Side, and it is bad. These people pay no attention to SW canon, stating that the Jedi MUST love...even when the SW Movies state clearly that love can lead to the Dark Side. These people also twisted the Jedi Code far too much from what it was presented in K1, because, well, they felt that Jedi Code would lead you to the Dark Side. Basically, "Take my word for it. WE KNOW!" They also got secret fourms...very, very secret fourms where they talk of great and hidden secrets. Several of the Jedi do believe in God (he's the one that made the Force, after all), and at least one was talking about his battle with demons. They mostly sit around and talk about the future when a unified world government will form a Jedi Academcy for their good work. Believe it or not, there is also an actual Sith Order. However, this Sith Order was formed as a response to the Jedi Order and serves to make fun of them and troll them, taking itself less seriously than these "Self Proclaimed Jedi". I'm proud to say that I am a "Worm" of this Sith Order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
