I'm sure in some countries there's a procedure to do it, I heard something about people trying to register the Jedi religion in the UK or something like that. They needed a minimum number of "believers" and they said they had that number (something like 50,000 I think).

Not unless they want to be recognized as an organization for tax reasons.

Stupid Arguments about Religion and Veganism

First of all, if anyone leaves rude comments, I'd just like to let you know that I only take polite people seriously, because calm people think clearer and actually have a clue what they're talking about. So I probably won't acknowledge you at all if you respond like a cave man instead of a civilized human being. Now about the video... I'm tired of all the fighting about whether to be a vegan or not, especially when religion gets dragged into it. Using religion in a fight is a medieval thing to do. All it does is make people angry or upset, and solves nothing at all. It can also be argued that the Bible contradicts itself too much on this particular matter, and that it's gone through too many translations by this point to trust single lonley words such as fish, meat, fruit, etc to be correct. So intelligent people (religious or not) wouldn't take arguments of this kind seriously. Either find some other evidence (preferably solid and tangible) to support your theory or belief, such as climate change or world hunger, etc..., or grow up and get over it. Live and let live people. That or find something else to argue about, because this topic is getting old. No matter what you believe we should be eating, there will always be others who's minds you can't change, no matter what you say to them. So either learn to get along, or find someone else's mind to try and change!

Muslims don`t look islam as a normal religion, but as a whole system of Life, which gives all answers about this life and hereafter. many people don`t think how they came to this life and what is waiting them after death. they just do not want to think about their death although they must meet it....... The followers of other religions have no decisive proof for their belief, therefore they believe in their religions emotionally or through imitation. Some of them think that you just have to have faith without clear proof. However when it comes to normal things in life people apply a lot of thought such as buying a car, house, choosing a University course or which bank to join, so how can it be that when it comes to the most important questions about life; which define the purpose of our lives that we should just have 'faith' without being convinced absolutely. It is therefore vital for a Muslim to believe in the existence of Allah (swt) without any doubt whatsoever and to believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw) and that the Qur'an is the final revelation sent by Allah (swt) to humanity. Islam is unlike all the other religions as it has a decisive proof that convinces the mind. Read and Listen Holy Quran online: http://www.ediscoverislam.com/quran-o... Discover Islam Web Book CD..
