AND ON THE SUBJECT OF RELIGION…




















Wikipedia tells me – “In England and Wales 390,127 people (almost 0.8%) stated their religion as Jedi on their 2001 Census forms, surpassing Sikhism, Judaism, and Buddhism, and making it the fourth largest reported religion in the countries. In the 2001 Census 2.6% of the population of Brighton (where I happen to live) claimed to be Jedi.” Authorities, however, refuse to accord the Jedi religious recognition because it is a created fantasy and not a “real” religion – whatever the fuck that might mean. Should I reach for my light saber?

As distinct from the "real" religion Scientology?
