The same people who think God has a long beard and lives up in the sky find Jedi myths funny, I suppose. If they think the one and mean it serious, I don't wonder if they think the other.

That wiki page is more closely guarded than most. Good luck making a substantive edit that lasts more than a few hours and survives the inevitable edit war.

I just feel that if people can disagree with it, that's fine, but to call it satirical or a parody doesn't make sense since it's not making fun of anything like Pastafarianism is. Pastafarians don't even really take their own faith seriously, but lots of Jedi generally do.

Actually you can be Rasta. I have seen white and even asian Rastas. They of course are not nearly as common but they are there. And there's nothing in the religion that prevents one from becoming a Rasta.
