Is Star Wars' Jedi a new religion?

[Swampy]

Followers of Jediism are aiming to build a belief system that goes beyond the Star Wars films. But does it amount to a new religion?

I'd rather people believe in Jediism than Jihadism.

I would rather believe in whatever the truth really is, even as awful as the truth can sometimes be.

I assume those who like to believe in nonsense such as religions just don't care for the truth. Or cannot admit there are things we humans just are not capable of understanding.

I recall when I had been watching one of the Star Wars movies in Silicon Valley, California. After the movie we discovered that someone had placed flyers under the windscreenwipers of card, advertising how great the power of magical visualization is. I think that among Californians, not many individuals would have believed in that stuff.

There's a lot of people in CA. That means all types of people can be found there.

Of course you are right.  But I understand that Californians have a certain reputation as a group.  The Kibology I think is a Silicon Valley religion

"How many Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb?  101 ones.  One to do the job, and a hundred ones to share the experience."
