Jedi Knight Now (Not) Officially a Religion

osiris writes: "The Register is reporting that being a Jedi Knight is now an official religion in the UK after the 2001 census conducted earlier this year. The final number of 'Jedi Knights' has not been confirmed yet as only about 95% of the census forms have been returned. As you could probably imagine, the Home Office is none too pleased. Apparently though, you can't get fined for lying about your religion in the census." Actually, according to the story, this gives the Jedi way no more official status than Plumbing would have if everyone put that down.

Re:None v. Atheist

[geekoid]

You have evidence that there's no God? WOW that would be the discovery of the 21st Century!

your purple gorrila is a ludicris example because we can prove they don't exist based on science.

A more accurate example is this:

two people are in a park, a young child walks up to them and say "I have a red ball on my table at my home"
One(the Believer) choses to accept this statement, the other(Athiests) chooses to not accept the statement. Both are chooses of faith.

FYI the Agnostic would say that may or may not be true, and continues on with his life w/o worrying about it. No Faith.

Just to keep thing up and up, I am an ordained Reverend.
