I think you might dig this...

Hey Guys, i dont know if news of this monumental development in the history of our species made it to you, but i think you people should know. In Britain every 10 years the government conducts a census of the population (all a bit 1984 no?). One of the questions that is asked is 'what is your religon?'. during the last census in 2001, someone suggested putting down 'Jedi' in answer to this. well the idea spread, no doubt on the internet, and the reults are in- 390,000 british citizens are claiming Jedi as their religon, and there is now a campaign to get it recognised as an official religon. if it is, it will be the 4th largest in the UK! Two Jedi Knights have been on Sky News (our equivalent to Fox News), to pitch the case, then a 'representative' of the Jedi's had a debate with a religious commentator on why it should be officially recognised- and did quite well. does this mean that soon i'll be able to take George Lucas's birthday off as a holy day? i hope so, after all it's no more ridiculous than basing an entire belief system on a book written 2000 years ago, that was written at least a generation after then main characters had died, and has been changed many times since. These are not the Gods you're looking for.

At least Christianity didn't have 3 shitty prequels, all of which included JarJar Binks!!
