i was thumbing through the calander section of todays LA times and a little blurb caught my eye. it said that the australian bureau of statistics reported that 70,000 people reported their religion as "Jedi" coming of course from the stars wars films. The president of the Star wars appreciation society (its scary that its a true profession) said only 5,000 were real Jedi followers. He said that around 50,000 probably just put it down to get a laugh. If 10,000 people declared they were Jedi, the faith would be recognized as an offical religion. Austraila labeled the situation "not defined"

hmmmmmmmmmmmm if Jedi is a real religion, who would be God? the force itself, or a psyical thing, such as obi won, yoda or the kid who let guys blow him for money in that shitty Kevin klien movie?
