I don't really intend to be cynical, but what the hell. Didn'y you just say that you are a pastor for united methodist?!? I take a stronger stance against religion and god than Mal does, but aren't pastors supposed to be nce, and have no bad feelings towards the less fortunate (ie- FOX)? And I thought gambling is against Christianity? I also thought pastors/priests/shepards/padres/reverands/monks were only supposed to make enough money to get by? Don't believe in praying all that much, but if that's what gets "Firefly" back, I'll personally send YOU $100 (in Canadian of course
) But I'd have to agree with you about FOX being 
.
If you want to learn Manadrin, go to: http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/mandarin.htm But be warned, these words are not correct pronunciations.
My chinese friends looked at me like I was crazy and said that they couldn't understand my butchering of their language 
.
Example: "Eat Sh**" in mandarin is not pronounced "chi shi", but more like "chu shu", whereas "chu" is like saying chu in "Chug". For "shu" say it like chu in chug, but just replace the "ch" with "sh". It's not 100% correct, but it's a lot closer to being right.
If you want to say "You are a (an) retard", say "ni shi bai sha-gua". The "shi" in this phrase is pronounced just as you'd think, like saying "she". Not like the previous example.
"I aim to misbehave."

Heh heh.. I'm not a normal preacher.
I'm the guy that got the local movie guy in church because I kept going in and renting slasher flicks. (hooked on 'em as a kid, just too funny)
I'm the guy that hangs out with the kids on Saturday night on the street corner and invite them to church on Sunday. .(and am blown away when the show up)
Also, if I was suppose to take a vow of poverty, somone didn't mention it. DON'T TELL my 57" Toshiba HDTV, it would be sad. :) (I do tons of "non-member" funerals for a) the ministry, we've gained quite a few members that way.. but b) the money is nice and pays for the TV. .
And yeah, the Methodist church does have a problem with gambling. I barely ever play, but I'm going to start. I don't think of it as gambling though, my housing is given to me so I don't pay property taxes. I've got to support the school system somehow.
Thanks for the pronounciation tips. If I drop a plate in the local chinese joint, I'll get it right!
And, hey, no problem if you have a problem with preachers / pastors / etc.
I've met a MANY of them, and can understand your ire. :)
Don't worry, I won't pray out loud.
:)

My stepfather is a "non-standard shepard" (minister) as well...
The summer after he and my mom got married he was the camp director for the churches summer camp season.
He and my mom would dress up as clowns (he has been to clown school and is regestered, etc...) and go out and goof around give baloons to random kids in the local town.
He was running late one Sunday so he did the morning service in camp in full clown gear except for the red nose.
Came stomping into the hall, picked up the bible, gave the service and then went out along with mom and a few of the other camp councelors to bring happiness to the townsfolk.
He's a really cool guy. Gets in trouble with the church sometimes cause he is a bit more outspoken than they'd like sometimes. ;)
