A Christian practices Christianity. What Does a Jedi Practice?

You know other than self-restraint at killing Jar Jar that is.

Jediism is the spelling on Wikipedia. But the adherrents fill out their census forms as 'Jedi' or 'Jedi Knight'.

The word "Jedi" means "one who serves".

The fictional, movie character Jedi practice: 'The Force'.
The basement-dwelling real life Jedi nerds practice: 'Spankin' it'...

Can't enrol at the Imperial Academy unless I suck up to the Boss.

Maybe the word I should've used is "Complacency."

So is there some other religion for people who believe in the force, but don't have it.

You know the guy about whom it's said, "The force is really lame with this one."

I'd wager they practice not slicing their own limbs off when swinging those damned laserswords all over the place.

They practice dodging mini laser blasts from drones while wearing a helmet with the blast shield down.

A no-longer-friend of mine was once playing a Star Wars computer game, and in it, there is a quest to escort Jar-Jar to safety. Needless to say, he failed this mission quite frequently, and often intentionally. When the pop-up "Jar-Jar is dead. Reload?" appeared, his reply was, "To me, I feel like they're asking me if I want to reload my blaster to make *absolutely* sure he's dead!"

Ignoring the obvious until it is far too late to do anything about it, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the overthrow of the government.
