You’re fine. Father’s being testy.
That's a priest's job sometimes. ;) Someone has to keep us in line, right? :D

I thought it was funny too. Then the convo turned to more serious matters and thinking of it AS an icon was shocking. I almost posted my reaction but decided not to since I didn't want to seem like I was really getting onto anyone.

Then when Fr said Jediism is a thing ... wow. Then again people really get into some of the fantasy/rpg stuff. And I've seen people walking around "being" animals. I guess all kinds of weird out there lol.

Oh geez. Ok. It never once dawned on me that anyone in their right mind would believe in Jedis. I’m not making jokes about myrrh-gushing icons. I’d never do that. The “icon” of Obi Wan was fake.

no worries, just saying there was a point to my brevity.

yes, it's a real thing. I have seen it on dogtags, which means it is a recognized religion in the US.

Wow.

Just wow.

Maybe someday out of curiosity I'd like to see just what all they recognize.

From Wackypedia (misspelling intentional):

"In 2007, the Temple of the Jedi Order was registered in Texas. It was granted IRS tax exemption in 2015."

So, any FSM followers in the military, with their official Pastafarian colanders on their heads?

Thats interesting ha ha ha. Im use to seeing RCC, Lutherans and EO when I see em in higher positions than their iconoclastic counterparts lol.

When I was in Carson I met up with the Orthodox Chaplain there for SF and was able to inquire some. Yes long before I asked questions here I always found myself curious ha ha ha.

Riley use to have one too but he PCS'd.

Not buying it. I think you are just being bitter about the prequels!!^_^

not being testy at all, just giving the reason why I would not say a print of Obi-Wan wouldn't give myrrh.
