Jedi religion on the census

[joebongo]

Just put me and my son (14 months old) as Jedi Knights and the missus is not happy with me.

"It's an important historical document and people will look back and think you're a cock."

My retort was that people will look back and see that many people in 2011 didn't take religion seriously and had more personal connection to the ethos of a religion that was in a film. That shut her up.

Jedi mind tricks rock.

It was probably funny the first time someone did it.

For the next 3,893,241 times it wasn't.

Wasn't meant to be funny, it was meant to be what it is. I do associate with the ethos of the Jedi more than I do with CofE or anything else.

You are cool.

What she could have said, of course, is "It's an important historical document and you will still be grouped in the 'No Religion' pile despite your pitifully 'hilarious' sentiments. You're a cock." But your missus isn't quite as rude as me

No I'm not. I don't believe in war causing religions.

Ah bks to it, I'll get my coat...

My wife was nagging me to do the census today.

So I'm down as Jedi, she's down as Sith.

My daughters down as Padawan.

I wasn't going to do the Jedi thing, but the whole census thing is a crock of st and I don't take it seriously anyway

Go on then, what is the Jedi ethos?

And how does that compare with the ethos of CofE, or of anything else?


















Thought not.

Hard to describe, but look at this sort of thing (there's lots out there - this is just a random site I found)

http://www.jediism.org/

Don't take every word seriously, just get the vibe from it.

For the CofE:

I don't accept there is any chance that Jesus did all that.

EFA for the OP's benefit

I didn't ask you because I wanted to know; I asked you because I don't beleive that you do.

And the fact that you posted a "random" link sort of backs that up.

I put Charlie Sheen down as mine.

[thewhooshparrot]

I put Pistonheads

Sort of doesn't as well cos I wanted to get a quick response to you to better express what I meant in my obviously misunderstood postings which was originally meant to express in the OP how I thought the missus was overreacting a bit to the census. However we got sidetracked down here somehow and I apologise for whatever I've done to offend anyone with it.

Anyhow I'm off to drink my 1/2 pint of guinness and get to bed like a good wage slave. Cheers.
