DAVESHAYNE that’s pretty good. Does the church need only one ordained minister of an already recognized church in order to start another church? I don't like knowing that the IRS will be looking at us.

Dogma:

We hold, we hold till Serenity comes back.

Sin:

Good? Evil? We're the ones with the guns. (Sorry wrong movie)

Penitence:

"Forgive me Shepherd for I have sinned it's been 3 weeks since I saw my last episode."

"Say three hail Whedons and watch the Train Job."

Pilgrimages:

Well there is the crew looking to rescue the Ariel ambulance. Once they get that together I think we all need to consider a road trip.

Sacraments:

We must snark with great wit and pepper our lanquage with Fireflyisms. We must share the word of Whedon to all who will hear; but not door to door because that's just creepy and rude.

Apparently at the last Australian census there was a move to try and get 'Jedi' listed as an official religion; all it would take (apparently) was enough people ticking the 'other' box on the form and filling in 'Jedi'... the mind boggles...

There's a lot of people that list their religion as Jedi when they're registering to vote as well.


Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoe: You live on a spaceship, dear.
