    I never said they worshipped anything, or that they believed that the Force was a god, I said it exists as a form of god, an all encompasing energy that mirrors the way some religions feel about god.

    Jesus died on a cross. Obie got stabed with a light sabre. Think of how cool light sabres are, and you'll make the right decision.

    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I don't doubt that some people, freaks if you will, firmly believe that Jedi is the religion of the future. But it is more than rational to suggest that once that leeked out, the vast majority of 'Jedi' followers merely put it down as a joke or a flick-of-the-wrist rebuttal of the 'Religion' question.
    The actual believers would be very, very few in number. As they should be.

    Personally, believing in an all-encompasing "Force" seems no less crazy than believing in a supreme being. As long as you don't expect Jedi powers...

    Until they figure out how to bend light so I can get my lightsaber, screw the Jedi religion.

    You IMPLIED worship through the use of "god"
    If you took it that way, Im sorry, but that isnt at all what I meant. Not every religion belives god is something to worship.
