The Star Wars Trilogy Explained By Someone Who Has Never Seen It

This silly video is a perfect example of how people mistake the teachings of Jesus and not know the true words of the Bible because they never read it.

Your job as a good Christian is to educate your fellow man to the true meaning of the Bible and not let him misinterpret it by only reading half of it.

Eight police officers serving with Scotland's largest force listed their official religion as Jedi in voluntary diversity forms, it has emerged. Strathclyde Police said the officers and two of its civilian staff claimed to follow the faith, which features in the Star Wars movies.
The details were obtained in a Freedom of Information request by Jane's Police Review.
Strathclyde was the only force in the UK to admit it had Jedi officers.

In the Star Wars films, Jedi Knights such as Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda use the Force to battle the evil Darth Vader, who has strayed to the dark side.
Jane's Police Review editor Chris Herbert, who requested the information, said: "The Force appears to be strong in Strathclyde Police with their Jedi police officers and staff.
"Far from living a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, some members of the noble Jedi order have now chosen Glasgow and its surrounding streets as their home."
Provided voluntarily
A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police confirmed: "At the time of the request, 10 (eight police officers and two police staff) had recorded their religion as Jedi."
She added that the force monitored "six strands of diversity" - age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief, and sexual orientation.
The force said the information was provided voluntarily and securely stored.
About 390,000 people listed their religion as Jedi in the 2001 Census for England and Wales. In Scotland the figure was a reported 14,000.
The Office for National Statistics did not recognise it as a separate category, and incorporated followers of Jedi with atheists.
Last year, brothers Barney and Daniel Jones founded the UK Church of the Jedi - which offered sermons on the Force, light sabre training, and meditation techniques.
Strathclyde Police employs 8,200 police officers and 2,800 civilian staff.

At least the English have enough sense to call Jedi Knights what they really are - Nerd atheists.

How does one have "light sabre training" when the light sabre hasn't yet been invented?

It's worth bearing in mind that this is Scotland. In the same survey, 18 Scottish police officers said they worshipped deep-fried Mars bars, 45 claimed to follow the orders of Buckfast Abbey, and a full 279 identified as heroinafarians.

These Star Wars fans are also homers:

Here you can see that star-wars fans are also homers who love soccer. Hence the gay soccer referee light-saber tribute remix:

I don't even know what to say to such closed- minded RUDE people. You make baby Jesus cry, you know that? Bah. Just for an example, part of the Jedi code says :
There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. (There is no chaos, there is harmony.)How is any of that not Christ like? What about.....the verse in Phillipians in which Paul states, “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”? Or are you going to tell me that Paul wasn't a Christian? Yeah, so much for that whole...serenity prayer thing. Guess that everyone praying that shoulda just grabbed a light saber, huh? What do you think is Christ like at ALL about your rude, uncalled for insults? Way to represent the LORD......

I don't understand any of this Icelandic gibberish, but it's pretty easy to see what's going on in this video:

The young man has an oral fixation on StarWars/Lego figurines, and he can identify them with his tongue. This is a skill?!?
