Feroluce · **UK Government subverts new religion -** 02-13-03

In the Last Census here Thousands of people who had no religious conviction, rather than putting "none" in the religion box put "jedi".
The reason for this is that if a certain percentage of the populatiuon put it down then the government would have to recognise it as a real religion.

It turns out now that they are going to ignore all entries of Jedi as a religion.

I think this sets a dangerous precident, I also think it would have been a good laugh if they had run with it

Jedi aren't what they used to be, anyway. Yoda used to have presence. Now he is more like a Gremlin on speed.

It would have been cool if they actually believed (read: were crazy), instead of just doing it to piss of the government.

It seems governments dont have a sense of humour; somewhere in the US a pot plant ran for state governor (or some other post) and won but the state refused to recognise it as a candidate. Thats discrimination.

..not really, there is a minimum age for candidates to political office

This is probably in bad taste but...would the Jedi have a Jihad against the Sith?
