Have you ever heard of the Order of the Jedi Canada? It is the head of Jediism, a real religion of our world. Jediism is based on the moral beliefs of the Jedi of the Star Wars movies, and I think the Jedi of our world believe that the Force exists and that gives us a sense of morality and tells us what is right and what is wrong when our minds are at peace. I'm a practitioner of this religion, but I'm still a padawan and I still have much to learn. Who else have heard of this religion? who else practices it?

Wow, never heard of that... Sounds a bit crazy to me but so does every religion I don't mean to offend anyone, just my opinion, believe in what you want to

We say the Force is like the sun, it existed even before someone gave it a name. The Star Wars movies just gave name to the Force and the Jedi. I don't believe we can use the Force like in the movies, just that it exists.

Yeah, that actually makes more sense to me than some gods Again, I don't want anybody to be offended, just my own opinion. You know when you know that someone's watching you but doesn't make sound or you can't see anything, not even a shadow. That's a situation that I would think has something to do with something like Force... Of course only if there was someone watching

I think I have also heard that somewhere, too interesting, and I enjoy the star wars films too, but I never thought of the film as a religion though the philosophy of the films character's are fascinating but I just enjoyed star wars as a film and just really good entertainment.

I'm not BS'ing anyone here, I'm a very loyal fan of SW. But I can kinda see how a religion can be founded around Jedi-ism. I mean you can convert the belief of karma, and aura's to be the force. Its actually kinda cool.
