I'm kind of disappointed that the Huffington Post website calls it "Star Wars Is a Religion". They clearly don't understand that we're separate and not dependent on Star Wars for our religion of Jediism. I don't know...it just makes us seem like nothing more than movie fans gone wild. Perhaps it's the only way to title the interview so that the general public will understand the gist of it. People can be surprisingly ignorant.

In the pre-show interview I talked to them about that. I hope to make it clear tonight.

I don't think they don't understand. They do understand, but they are a business which needs to make money to survive. That title brings more business, I wouldn't take it personally :)

Yes, don't sweat it Br. John...

Remember your interview a few years ago....

DO your best (you always do) and shame on them if they don't take it serious...

At least with you there, we know how we are represented....

With your co-hosts, we can't be sure....

On walk-about...

Sith ain't Evil...
Jedi ain't Saints....

“Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love.

No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. Therefore we must be saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.”

― Reinhold Niebuhr, The Irony of American History

Good Job, John. I'm watching it now and I think you did good. :) I like how you told the host about how varied Jediism is and how you explained that a person can be a Jedi and Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan, etc.

Yeah, I'd like to have a discussion with Patrick, ask him what he's on lol. Don't recall him looking into the camera, the guy was obviously stoned out of his mind. :pinch: I wouldn't worry about that link Jester, it'll be up sooner or later...

Just watched the interview. It was very good, well done Br. John. :) Maybe I'm wrong here, but Huffington Post seems like it's kind-of a big deal to be on. Is it?
