At last, a person less fortunate than me!!

Stony Stratford high street, 4.45pm

Excuse me sir, can I give you a leaflet?

Erm, ha ha, no thanks

Are you aware the Jedi faith is one of the fastest growing religions at the moment?

Where? Mental hospitals

No. No. We are a genuine religion. We seek to...

I'm going to have to stop you fella. Jeremy Beadle is dead

'leave it o b1, he may be from the dark side.

What the fk is that? Has chewy had a shave?

That is our princess Leah.

She looks more like Ram man from masters of the universe

But, we are here to protect you and the youngling (wtf?) from the master

Er, isn't that dr who

No, have you not seen the films?

I have. And very entertaining they were too. I think it's a dubious case for a religion though. You have to admit it is a little flimsy.

Not at all. You have to remember 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away'

By now, in truth, I would have walked away, but since a/. He didn't smell of glue b/. He wasn't large enough to be threatening and c/. It's been ages since I met someone less fortunate than me.

So....

How about: in a studio far far away, George Lucas made a film, and made himself very rich.

Actually, my light saber is signed by George Lucas

Your light saber?

Yes, it is the Jedi weapon

Wow, a genuine light saber. Let me have a look

A Jedi will never use his side arm unless threathened

I see...................give me a look at your light saber or I will punch you in the face very hard indeed

My Jedi mind tricks know you are bluffing

I see. Are you aware that your 'princess' is actually wearing ear muffs, in order to resemble carrie fisher?

So, do you want the leaflet?

Erm, your missus is wearing ear muffs and what appears to be my deceased grandmothers nightdress.
You appear to be borderline mental, possibly escaped, and believe that you have a light sabre and able to use mind tricks? What to you think?

Yeah, but our god is yoda as he is the Jedi master

No, he is a muppet

Don't speak of our god in such a way

No mate- i mean he really is a muppet- like jim Henson and a couple of sticks

I'm afraid I then got picked up by mrs emsman and emsman jnr who looked a little worried

I'm so happy with today


And I hope they don't stay in stony too long tonight-it's not the best of places to be recruiting after dark

Doesn't Jedi have to be put as an option for religion on the next census?

I thought enough people put it as their religion last time.

I swear that these people were genuine.

They actually believed in what they were saying.

Worse, were luke skywalker and the princess related?

Incestuous cult anyone?

So do christians/muslims/jews. At least most of us have actually seen Yoda. . . . . . . wink

I bet in 1,000 years 'Jedi' will be a fully-fledged religion and the others will have been forgotten about.

Don't get me wrong- I have no time for religion.

But to follow/worship a work of science fiction seems more than a little odd.
Why dress like the characters?

nerd -

No, its not

Most of us may have seen Yoda, but on screen or as an action figure

So, going by that logic, I give you:

a) Jesus of Nazareth
b) The last temptation of christ
c) etc..............

So, your imaginary friend/religion is no more real than everyone elses I'm afraid!

(is there a film about Buddha?)

I put Jedi down on the consensus form.......

F**k 'em.

Oh, and I think (though I could be wrong), that the plural of Jedi, is Jedi.

That's all every religion is. It just wasn't called 'science-fiction' 2,000 years ago.

If he was a real Jedi he could have got you to sign up using the Force in that "These aren't the droids you are looking for" sort of way.

By saying 'real Jedi' I assume you mean real actor ?

How dare you offend my religion, you wouldn't openly abuse muslims on PH so don't abuse us Jedi's. Inciting religious hatred is a serious offence!

To get proper attention it needs to issue a fatwah against someone for insulting it.
