Browsing through the new new blogs this morning before work, I came across an interesting entry by Master Tachi about the 2001 British census, here

Reading this, I decided that the time was right to tell you all a little more about myself, this time focusing on my religion.

As my title implies I am one of the 390127 Jedi living in Britain, however unlike many of them, I'm sure, I do actually believe in the Force, kinda.

My story starts, like all good stories, A long time ago In a galaxy far far away. well actually it was less than a decade ago and in England, but anyway.
I was never a true believer in Christianity, and what faith I did have eventually died away, but I always believed there was something, some kind of live force, connecting everything.

I also believe in spirits, not ghosts exactly, but a presence of some description that remains after death. I've often had strange feelings that I can't really explain, many about my Grandad who died when I was 9, feelings almost like he was there, I know it sounds corny but I felt his presence.

I've also had extreme cases of deja vu, like evnts happening that feel like a past dream. Kinda like a passive foresight.

Anyway on to my point.

For years I looked for a religion that shared these beliefs, so far the closest thing I've found to match is what GL describes in the movies. I'm not just a Star Wars nut, I am a jedi! I occasionally meditate and also practice lightsaber combat (although the lightsaber is only because of SW)

So as I say at top, I believe in the Force, and thats why when the census came around I filled in "Jedi" under the religion question, my whole family did in fact although they don't believe like I do.

Please comment, especially if you share my beliefs.

May The Force Be With Us All

Edit:
I just want to be clear that I do not wish to offend anyone with this blog, I simply felt like sharing this.
I respect everyones veiws on religion and feel that everyone has a right to their own beliefs.
I would also like to say that I have not based these beliefs on SW, I have just adopted the terms Force and Jedi (and the lightsaber, but thats not really part of my beliefs).
