Yes I've heard of this and have seen the book they reference in that article and have even read through it myself. Of course, those that are putting down "jedi" as their religious preference are NOT Christians. IMO it's a bit ridiculous.

I don't think it's that ridiculous. There people otherwise have no guide in life. At least if they follow the ways of the Jedi, they will strive to become decent human beings. They will not seek revenge, they will not hurt others for their own personal benefit, ect. Those two lessons alone would make this world a better place if everyone lived by them.

Well the jedi guidelines are based on a good moral structure I most certainly agree with that and as the author of the book in that article points out, many similarities exist between Christianity and the laws of the jedi. Personally I think making a spiritual choice in life based off of a sci-fi movie is a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I love the films but they are just that...films.

As long as people are trying to be good people, and do the right thing in life, whatever motivation they have is fine with me.

I'm not saying I'm going to become a Jedi, but like you said, to each his own.

I'm not going to become a Jedi. Unless they perfect lightsabers. Then, well...I might have to take a look.
