After doing some reading on Jediism, I've come to realize that it's just another way of saying Buddhism... I think I'm gonna start appling jedism to my fencing.... Aladar Kogler style

Oh for gods sake.

Jedi-ism is not a religion.

Please refer to dave's salient point.

I think the only answer to all of our problems is to get every single member of Fencing.net to congregate in Havana and join Scientology. I have no idea why it should be Havana other than I like the name...

They're all Jewish in Havana. That's where the title of the song came from: Havana Gila....

The Cult of Steel?

My sword is my cross, my training is my tithe, you're body is my sacrifice.

We already refer to our respective interpretations of the FIE Rulebook as "The Rules" perhaps we should change that to "The Book" to give it a more holy demeanor.

Who wants to be a Messiah? All hail Muriel Zagunis "Saviour of the Sabre"...
