And more and more people-----tens of thousands-----around the world list themselves as members of this Jedi religion.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_census_phenomenonhttp://www.jedichurch.org/http://www.orderofthejedi.org/I'm wondering: If I were to join the Star Wars religion, would I be welcome to use the "prayer thread" to pray to George Lucas?

To even entertain the idea that this could even be close to being a religion is mind numbing. There will be people who will retaliate and say well the Bible and Jesus is fantasy too, well thats where faith comes in. But we know without a shadow of a doubt that Jedi's and the Force do not exist, except for when we put a Star Wars dvd on.

They can't not know! You could very easily look at all of us here, and our passion for the Hulk, a vintage TV show, all of us visiting here and posting away most every day, a lot would deem that as being unhealthy. I for one do not openly tell people about it, partly for that reason. As a very passionate, enthusiastic and obsessive person, I still think it's cool! Reminds me of when people learn Klingon and live that life. That's equally bizarre!

"Soon the Rebellion will be crushed!"Don't worry, my loyal Sith subject. My apprentice, Lord Vader, is collecting up & exterminating those Jedi "wannabes" as you call them; he is especially looking for that arrogant young Skywalker who destroyed my beloved Death Star. Soon, very soon, this insignificant rebellion will be crushed. Doug
