Heard something yesterday regarding an e-mail that was doing the rounds during our (UK) recent census. It said that if enough people filled thier religion as "Jedi Knight" then the government would have to give that an official religion status and code.

The census results aren't in yet but apparently the numbers were sufficient enough to make this miracle happen. You can find out more at: -

Haven't been there yet so I'm off now....

Oh no......I was afraid this topic was going to rear its ugly head again....

OK, I am gonna say this one more plickin' time!!!

IT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RELIGION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to know why then read this

Ooooooh, RC's kinda sensitive about it.

And I always thought SW fans were a lot cooler than Star Trek fans because SW fans don't believe in it.

Well it was on Radio 2, who'd of thought they would mis-lead?

We need to exterminate the weirdos. They give us a bad name.

I wonder who decides what is official religion, and how do one start one?

first you need a person that will be your leader... ME!!

Will you try to rise from the dead?

been there, killed them...

Show us again.

*takes axe*
who's first?

No, the trick is that you die and then rise from the dead.

*takes ax from yerss and raises it high* Now, you have to do it WITHOUT Gundy's help this time.

oh bloody hell! where is edna when you need her???

Whatever she'd do, it always wears off.

If there was an actual Jedi religion, would GL be the pope?

Good point. I think so. And McCallum would be cardinal.

No, GL would be their God and McCallum the pope

So GL would be the one inserting midi's into the cells if they are good?

I can think of worst religions to follow, good v bad, clear cut and concise, the good go to cloud city the bad to the pit vader falls into

This one always got my neerves as well.

On the idea that Radio 2 uses the BBC news service, I very much rdoubt if they said something so inaccurate, as no other part of the BBC said. Qhat they said was that 'Jedi Knight' had become an officially categorised answer to the relgion question on the census,. That does NOT make it a religion- as has been pointed out (including by the BBC), these people have no power to do that! All they can do is say waht people answer, and that does not make it so! By the same token if enough people say their ethnic origin is 'Martian', it does not make Martian a real life ethnic origin, it just means people said it did, and the census would record that people had said it.

That would actually be illegal. It is illegal to give misleading info on the census except, apparently, for the religion bit, because it would be too complex, I think.

So anyway, massive agreement with RC here, there is no chance at all of 'Jedism' being a real religion here.

If I prefer to call it a religion I would do so , others cant tell me it is not you are right to belive in what you want. But it is typical of the christian comunity to deny others to form new religions because of the fact they are afraid of the competition.

gEORGE lUCAS IS NO SAINT. hE IS A FILM DIRECTOR. i LOVE HIS IDEAS, BUT LET'S NOT EVEN KID ABOUT HIM BEING A MAN WORTHY OF THE WORD "god".

Jesus Christ IS MY SAVIOR.

There you go.

Dammit, I'd ordered my Jedi Priest robes too!

You can still adore me mech

Just another character in a book IMO

and I'm a real one
PLEASE NEED ATTENTION!! ADORE ME AS A GOD HERE!!!

In my perspective on the God matter Yers?

No chance there, yerss.

Yers, I find it disturbing that you would crave the attention of a 24 year bloke when you've only recently hooked up with someone!

Especially a 15 year old girly.

You make it sound so warped, mech

You don't think yers is warped?

Well, I didn't until now!

How could you be so blind?

It's a talent really..

Is that what they call it these days?

talent comes with many names and shapes

I wasn't talking about THAT adorating!

Tonight, Mamma's pizza and Tommy's tap will be my saviors.

"Ma ma ma we`re all crazy now"-Slade

I would have preferred crazy train......

For the sweet sweet Gundy
"Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not to late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you have the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train" OZZY

AWESOME !!!

Thanks, finti. You da' man !!!

Wow, it's like an Ozz-fest in here!

How nice for Gundy, fint. Thanks!

Ozzy Osborne sucks!

so do you

Sorry TO couldnt resist

"You know somethin'? YOU SUCK!" -Billy Madison

Talking about artists who suck, do you still like those juvenile rockers that sounds like crap...like oasis, smashink pumpkins and garbage

I never like Oasis or Garbage. I liked Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream." And Oasis's song Wonder Wall.

I'm into classic rock: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan.

"Two out of three aint bad" - Meat Loaf
Aint to crazy about Rolling Stones they have some cool songs, but they should have quit by now. Its almost pathetic

I don't know. Their last CD was OK. "Already Over Me" was a great tune.

Dylan rocks, I justs love the original "like a rolling stone" and that "shelter from the storm". Class.

I love the "Pat Garret and Billy The Kid" Soundtrack even if it is a bit hick

Classis rock, eh ToMacco ? Do you like Led Zep ? What else do you listen to ?
