BEFORE I CONTINUE, LET ME REMIND YOU THAT THIS IS JUST A POST THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF PROMOTING THIS RELIGION, AND I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. I'M A MUSLIM, AND I'M PROUD OF MY RELIGION. SO, DON'T FLAME ME!!!!!

I got this information first while i was listening to some local English radio (I think it was fly.fm) and they were talking about jedi religion. Back then i wasn't interested of it but suddenly it popped out in my head recently so i was doing a research on it. So here's what i found on the net:

1. Apparently Jedi religion did exist, and they have their own church (search it yourself on the net.like i said i'm not promoting them!) They called it "The Jedi Census Phenomenon". This phenomenon happens mostly in English-spoken countries such as New Zealand, Australia, England, Scotland etc.
2. I don't know who was the prophet, but it seems that this religion was spread through e-mails and eventually they got bigger in numbers so they were asking the government to recognised their religion.
3. This religion if i might said is quite established. Like i said, they have their own church, their own forum, and they do have their own doctrine. You can join it for free, but you have to pay if you want the certificates.
4. About 1.5% of New Zealand people are Jedi, which is approximately 53,000 people. If Jedi would be counted as a legal religion in New Zealand, it would be the 2nd largest religion after Christian.
   
5. England and Wales: 0.79% are Jedi, makes it the 4th biggest religion in England.
   
6. Scotland: 0.227% or approximately 14,000 claim themselves Jedi.
7. The 1st Jedi who became politician would be Jamie Reed. He declared himself as a Jedi during his maiden's speech in June 2005. But the statement was confirm by Reed's office as a joke and was not a serious statement of faith.
8. The Jedi religion focus its believe in Force, an entity that binds together the universe. They believe in existance of a single unifying force, which most people would interpret them as God. There are 2 sides of force, dark side and the light side (hmmm....like Angels and Demons maybe?) and it's up to us to determine whether we do good or evil. To know it, just listen to the force and beware of the dark side.hmmmm....
9. The Jedi religion also have their own marriage pledge. I'm not gonna write it. It's too long. :P

Well, that's about all i know. So, do we have a Jedi here in Malaysia? Feel offended towards this entry? Having thoughts on this topic? Please drop some comment :)
