Pair Use The Force For Jedi Religion

Post by FridaySe »

A genuine news story.

"Two self-styled Jedi Knights are stepping up an intergalactic campaign for formal recognition. Umada and Yunyun, also known as John Wilkinson and Charlotte Law, want the UN to acknowledge "The Force" is worthy of being called a religion. The couple claim to be part of the UK's fourth largest religious group, after 400,000 people recorded their faith as "Jedi" in the 2001 Census."

I await everyones comments !wink!

Cool. A religion -after all- is just a belief.

I wonder how many teachers will now start demanding to teach 5 year olds dressed like this:

???

Or will my bank have any problems? How about a few million in local grants? Sounds reasonable!

Doesn't every "Chav" dress like that nowadays, except for a light-sabre substitute a can of cheap lager or a knife..
