We at pcbycp are deeply worried about religious freedom.
Obi Wan, founder of the Jedi Religion. Not an AUTHENTIC religion.
We’ve just go this funny feeling that it engenders INTOLERANCE!
Cecil is a Jedi. This is one of the more popular religions. Though it is not considered ‘Mainstream’. The Jedi’s worship a Grand Knight. His name is Obi Wan Kenobii.
Obi’s origins are shrouded in mystery. It is believed that Obi is descended form one of the original Jedi, His name, Lord Rupert of Murdoch. Rupert invented the Death Star.
The Death Star represents all that was good and positive about Lord Ruperts view of the world.
The true and ONLY Authentic GOD!
Until he went WRONG!
Cecils problem is that he wants to wear his light sabre to school.
Authentic religions get old men to authenticate Cricket Bats
It’s against regulations, And the school chaplain is a bit angry cos he thinks that light sabres are irreligious. This is where the conundrum sits. Cecil believes his light sabre is a legitimate religious icon. The school chaplain thinks it’s the cross he has put up in every classroom. The School chaplain thinks that his cross represents the only true and correct religion.
Cecil is very upset. If he’s asked to go home again, because he’s wearing his Jedii cloak, light sabre and belt he’ll be pretty disenchanted with religion altogether. He reckons the school is impinging on his civil liberties. But the chaplain reckons that Cecil’s religion is concocted, and a false god of sci fi puppetry and fictional demi-gogery. And we spose that’s why he goes to the Full Gospel Reform Christian College. To be the Full-Bottle on God and religion and all that stuff.
Authentic hand kissing in front of Authentic cross. Though authentic religions do not encourage MEN KISSING!
Cecil is so confused. He’s struggling with the ‘correct’ religion. Cos he thinks that man being born from a rib, and women being stoned is daft. He also reckons that if there was a God, why then did he invent death, disease, plague, reality television and The Liberal National Coalition? How could Tony Santamaria be religious, when all he’s interested in is authority and punishment.
Still the chaplain threw the rule book at Cecil, and said once the new religious freedom act is legislated, Cecil wont have a leg to stand on. He can just go and Fuck Off!! Cos that’s his religious right.
Only Authentic religions approve of mass killings as being genuinely AUTHENTIC!
Cecil is now isolated and marginalised, As a transgender he is doubly marginalised. Cos the “so called” true religion reckons they don’t accept gays as being equal. As a matter of fact they don’t accept, science, rational thought, and women in general as being equal. But in order to survive they must enjoy their freedom to go on stoning women. And the other religion wants to preserve its freedom to mutilate little girls. Whilst the other religion wants the freedom to fiddle with kiddies, and the other religion just wants to kill non-Buddhists in Myanmar.
Cecil reckons all these religions have one thing in common. Old blokes who are totally insecure about women, sexuality, and liberalism in general just compensating for their appalling inadequacy by wanting to subjugate the masses by fear and persecution.
We’re not sure, and why is this so? Cos the Jedi’s don’t need to do any of that sort of thing, they ask their adherents to just, “use the force,” and say, “ may the force be with you”.
Maybe that’s why it’s not recognised as a religion, it hasn’t got enough HATE and INTOLERANCE to be protected. To be “Mainstream” enough.
But there is another option,
“A long time ago, in a galaxy far away”,
Heretics opposed to Saint Tone of Santamaria storming Constantinople because it proclaimed Science as “truth” and we know that is apostasy!!
Sounds like a pretty good religion to us.
