This came across on one of my TIE pilot lists. Gak. Dude, I'm a Star Wars fan too, but IT'S A FREAKING MOVIE!!!! Certainly not something to start an "Offical Sithism Religion" over.

The clue meter not only pegged on zero, it bent the needle.

"This is a place for people who truly believe in The Force and what it stands for. Sithism is a real religion and it's belief's are very true and people of a serious mind can come and learn the ways of the Dark Side of The Force and achieve self spirituality. This is NOT an RPG and we are NOT affiliated with the Star Wars movies. We are currently submitting papers to the US Government to legalize Sithism as a real religion in the US and world wide. So serious people only may join, may The Force be with you Sithism followers."

Discordianism is a real religion too.

*crushes throat by looking at you* I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Someone had to say it!

I'm not going to comment.

But you bet I'm gonna pass this on. :)

There have been people claiming to follow Jedi-ism for years. This isn't a big surprise.

Hey it worked for Stranger in a Strange Land fans ala Church of All Worlds...why not Sithism?
Let us not forget Scientology. Who knows? Who's to saa that the bible wasn't originally written by that era's equivelant of L. Ron Hubbard and they took it too literally.

Though personally... light side/Dark side.. I am too much the Gemini to pick one.. I prefer a mix of the two. ;)

Just had to play Sith Lord's advocate on that one

Evidently, Sith Happens. People go over to the Dark Side all the time, you know we have watched it happen. Sigh.
