Hubbard hypothesis? Insolitus Send a noteboard - 22/09/2009 03:10:00 PM
Like in L. Ron Hubbard? All I meant was that the Force could be real even if someone made a fictional movie about it. That's what I presume this Jedi church believes, anyway. And yes, probably what Scientologists say, too. But however wacky their theology is, I personally don't think this Jedi's religion is any less worthy of politeness than, say those based on the Bible.

I realise this story is funny. And it is likely this guy doesn't take his religion actually seriously and just tries to make some money from this controversy. But it is also possible that he is sincere in his faith, and his outrage is real. In either case, his religious views were indeed publicly disparaged by a corporation.

I'm such a killjoy.
