Pleased Not I Am

[d000hg]

Any real facts about Moses, Christ, Muhammad etc., if they even existed, have been lost in the mists of time

This is actually not true. Many historical persona from that far back are known to be real, many of who we take their existence as gospel(!) have less historical evidence than Jesus (I do not know if there is historical evidence for Moses or others quite that far back but Gibbon might).

It doesn't make it true because it's written down or because people believed it back then or because the historical people existed, but it's a bad path to go down "there's no evidence for the existence of X".

I guess that's why the call it faith!

"The commission said to be classed as a religion it must have a positive beneficial impact on society in general and raised concerns that Jediism may, in part, have an "inward focus" on its members."

Maybe instead of being "inward" they should adopt some of the other religions traits, either past or present:

Suppression of free thought
Misogyny
Crusade
Jihad
Sex abuse
Patriarchal supremacy
False hope
Intolerance of difference
Slavery

Those are part of the Dark Side of the Force.
