Natty Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Last year on the Australian census thing that we do every 4years or something when it asked for my religion I put Jedi so did some of my friends. Has anyone done this sorta thing before? I know it's quite sad, but apperantly there's a rumour that's been going around for aaaaaaaaaages (in Australia at least) that if so many people claim Jedi is their religion it has to get turned into a religion hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 I read that once that according to Australian laws the Australian government will recognize a 'movement' or 'religion' as such if it had something like 20.000 or 40.000 followers? (Not sure on the total number, it was a while back.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 Might be something like that, it's amazing how many of my friends (and in some cases their whole family) put Jedi as a religion I seriously hope one day it gets the amount of people needed to make it a religion, think it would be hilarious- wonder if that means we'd all get light sabers and have to wear the robes like Jedi do and the padawan haircut maybe?

ET Warrior Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 That would be great....and then stores are required to carry Jedi Robes.......so you can buy them for relatively cheap amounts..... If I had a jedi robe i would wear it all the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Yes, there is a Jedi Religion. It is called Jedism. Here is the website: http://www.jediism.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Well, I don't really see being a Jedi as a religion. The Jedi order is an order of those gifted with the Force who seek further enlightement, knowledge through it and whom can serve as keepers of the peace and justice. Doesn't sound like a religion to me. Except for the 'no attachment' thing which is supiciously religion-like, but I think they see that from the point where attachment can lead to fear of loosing the one who you are attached to. (Fear leads to the Dark Side, etc.) But if I was a Jedi in the Ep II era I'm not sure I'd agree with what the Jedi council mandates either. I mean Mace Windu is probably a great Jedi in the story arc but they way the Jedi spread themselves out in the arena, true they didn't know about the droids but a good tactician wouldn't have isolated is troops from each other that way. (And massing them together they'd have to take out the sonic cannons first thing to not stay one big juicy target.) And hey I'd go for an 'attachment' with Aayla anyways so. Hubba hubba. (I can understand Anakin defying the order by being with Padme.) That make me a bad Jedi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
