You know followmal, I really think the characters should be saints.
That way they can have thier own holidays and some saints even have thier own riligiouse sects. That way you and me and all the rest of us Mal freaks could worship him and have festivals and atribute miracles to him an such.
To fill the gaps in the Apostles we could use writers, and crew, and producers, and such. Definately Tim Minear should be one.

Ooo, Kayna, I like the way you think.

Nathan festivals! Yep, I am so there!

Kayna, the Apostles are the Saints too, they have holidays and under #11 of Apostles I am thinking of having sects, for all of the Apostles. And you can worship any character in any way you want and any festival or feast day.

Church Holidays:
1) Joss birthday
2) Apostles birthdays
3) The first day firefly appeared on TV
4) Death of firefly (last day it appeared on FOX)
5) Day the movie first appeared in Theaters (different day for each part of the globe where movie opened.)
6) ?

Head of the Church: Joss Whedon
Apostles:
1) Mal
2) Zoë
3) Wash
4) Book
5) Inara
6) Jayne
7) Kaylee
8) Simon (hey, this really works!)
9) River
10) Serenity
11) River's feet (this is one of my favorite Apostles. I could worship her feet all day long.) We might even form a monastic sect where day and night her feet are worshipped.
12) ?

Next Joss took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to us saying, "Drink of it, all of you; for this is Mudders Milk and its 15% alcohol. So we now do this in remembrance of Firefly.

Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the Valley of Serenity, I shall fear no Alliance. My Captain and his gun, they comfort me.

GRIZWALD no split on creed here, doesn't matter, can be dipped, dunked or drenched. We're very liberal.

ARTCAT81, lets make it a religion then.

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.

Maybe we can keep thinking about the Book of Joss and get back to application.

Hey, you have a future lawyer as a convert here, how about *I* worry about incorporating us and keeping the IRS happy?

I LIKE it. Heck if Scientology is for real....*shrug*

But I dunno how the cast is gonna like being referred to as "the Elder Gods."
Can I worship Mal/Nathan?

Whedon Creed

We believe in Whedon the Father of good writing, Maker of Serenity and Firefly, and of all TV shows that were great and are to come. He spoke thru the Apostles (characters). The Whedon suffered under FOX and was canceled by them, and in two years he rose again according to his promise. He will come again in glory to judge the Networks and his Whedondom will have no end.

And we believe in the Spirit of the Browncoats, who proceedeth from the Whedon and being of one substance with the Whedon. And we believe in one holy Whedonistic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Mudders baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of Firefly, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

SHould be "life of the 'verse to come"
*giggle*
I hope we aren't going straight to Special Hell for this. If we are, I'll look you up, I promise/.
