Mr. Sausages Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 In its ruling the Charity Commission said there was insufficient evidence that "moral improvement" was central to the beliefs and practices of Jediism. It also noted the Jedi Doctrine can be accepted, rejected and interpreted by individuals as they see fit. The commission said to be classed as a religion it must have a positive beneficial impact on society in general. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38368526 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarne Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The Force is with me and I am one with the Force. I can totally see in a few hundred years the wars that are fought in its name as people forget it was just movies, books and cartoons but have grown up with "May the Force be with you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmanx Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Jedi is an order of those connected to the Force. Jedi is therefor not a religion. The Force is not a religion. It simple is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 The Force is not a religion. Why not? What is a religion, rmanx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmanx Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The Force is a concept, in the same way Karma is. Sith and Jedi are different practitioners of the abilities that a connection to the Force brings. It is the individuals attachment to the Force that implies religion. So it is a misconception to call Jedi a religion. A follower of the Force would be a more accurate description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
