Religions

Interesting - I have heard several people say they are following the ways of the Jedi.

I can't recall the numbers, but a lot of people put Jedi as their faith during a recent census. I'd thought it was classic Brit humour, but maybe not

I think it started out as humour, but now some people are making a religion out of it.

Well, it can't really be a religion as such. More a way of living your life. Which is fine (I think).

So long as you don't start attacking your enemies with light sabres.

Oh drat jings I like playing with those light sabres!

The FSM is still around you know!

What about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
I vaguely remember someone campaigning to wear a colander on his head in his driving licence photo.

What is FSM?

That's the FSM! I mentioned it above.

Ooh I'd forgotten about the FSM.

Jediism began as a joke during the 2001 Census when someone realised that if a certain number of people claimed to be Jedi then it would become an official religion. The idea then snowballed and although they don't believe in a God, they have 16 rules to live by which basically say be nice to each other and be nice to yourself. I can't help thinking if we all kept to that then the world would be a better place for everyone. OMG is the force with me

constance Someone in New Zealand does have a driving licence photo where he has a colander on his head. However, I'm pretty sure it was just a joke rather than a religious conviction.

I'm surprised Feetle hasn't appeared with his invisible pink unicorn

If Harrison Ford is involved with the Jedii religion, count me in

"What is FSM?"

The Pastafarians.

Am I correct in thinking that Wiccans are also recognised but not Christian Scientists? Not that I am comparing and contrasting the two as I think both are batty – just curious.

DOH!
