You do know in England I think, some Star Wars fans have made an attempt to make "Jediism" an official religion. They failed sure, but some deluded fans are bent on making it a real religion. Just like fans of L. Ron Hubbard, a si fi writer conned people into starting Scientology.

The only reason "Jediism" is not currently recognized as an official religion right now is because the people trying to push it have not successfully marketed it to a big enough political power to get recognized. The only difference between a cult and a religion are the numbers and political power. Scientology simply got big enough which is why it is now called a religion.



"Religion is a man made system"......... I agree, stop right there, keep re reading that maybe you will get it someday.

Then you agree with my point...

Rejecting religion does not equate to rejecting God.

God deals with a person on an individual basis, it's a personal experience. Did not one of the crucified thieves go to paradise because he believed Jesus? Does that make him religious?

NO, not belonging to a club does not matter to me. You like someone who goes to a church still fall for the suspension of disbelief which still requires buying before insuring quality of facts. You are religious too, you simply don't belong to an official club. 

It takes no brains to swallow a religion or God. 

Now, don't sit here and lie to me, and answer the question, is your position that of a generic god, or does this "God" come from a book with a long tradition of being printed?

You cant separate Yoda from Star Wars. You can certainly watch the movie at home sure, you don't have to watch it with others in a group. But Yoda started out because someone wrote the script. 

Now unless you have a generic god, I am betting your use of "God" comes from the traditions of Abraham, which sorry, does make you religious. "I am not like the others"..... Yes you are. Watering down a naked assertion does not separate that naked assertion from its origins.
