If it's real, you're covered, if it's not, it's just time wasted.
Well, I've always thought of it this way, if we have a reason to be religious (ex. We'll be damned for eternity if we aren't) then we're doing fine by being religious and living a good life.
If there is no resaon to be religious (ex. death is the end and there is no supreme being) then we really haven't lost anything my living a good life and being nice to people.
Okay, now I'm going to duck next to you. You cover my head, and I'll cover yours.

Ah, the CYA argument. Never bought it myself. 'Cause God would know your motivation and that you're not a true believer.
Damnation anyway.
Seems to me it's gotta come from the heart and not the head.
But what do I know, I'm agnostic.
And Jayne bowing his head? Just looked at it. He hesitates for just a second and his expression is one of "guess I should do this". Could be because he was trained as a boy to bow his head and say grace. And since he's in the presence of a Shepard and everyone else is doing it, he does it too. Not saying that's the only way too look at it, but that's how I interpret it.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I can so see a little Jayne getting wacked in the back of the head by his daddy for not bowing during grace.

Or by both of them, in turns. Hee.

I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Is Jayne Italian?
Sorry, please don't be offended if you're Italian. I was just thinking of that scene in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, and they're at the dinner table and they keep whacking Tony in the head. And he's all p.o.'d 'cause they're messing up his hair.

When I first saw Firefly I thought Jane would be the most one dimentional character, and the most boring after a while, but he ended up being one of the best on the show for me.
I think it's all the little details that win me over. Little lines like "I like whacking 'em!" (when Mal points out that he doesn't need to hit the cows in 'Safe'), or his line in 'Objects in Space'. "If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak!" The writers never miss a trick with Jane, and seeing his blunt reaction to everything that goes on is always fun. He's kind of a mix of Cordelia and Anya. Just what every crew of smugglers needs, huh? 
"I'm a bloodsucking fiend! Look at my outfit!"

Just recent to Firefly, caught it by lucky accident on sci-fi. Was totally blown away.
When first saw Jayne, thought, man he really looks like this dude I’d seen in bunch of other flicks, the first being ‘My Bodyguard’ (BITD). But no, couldn’t be, no way could he still look the same. But surenuff, it’s Adam!
His character’s always been similar, real hardass, but don’t think he’s ever been better cast than here.
Absolutely love the show. Crushed when discovered it’s only a partial season run. Well, at least glad I’m gonna savor experiencing it for the first time, and then there’s Serenity.
One of us is crazy, and it's not you!
