No agenda implied. I am neither as intelligent as Citizen nor as combative as, well, Citizen.
I was just tryin' not to offend any of the non-Christians listening. Any true Christian may want to consider that man was created in Gods image, not as clones to our creator. The far reaching mystery and understanding of God is the reason I do believe in Him, her, it, or whatever. Living in such a way as to prove my soul worthy of purification and ascention to the heavens. Absolving my sins and helping others to understand the purity of morals and ideals parallel with "Christian" beliefs.
Sorry if I offended. None was intended to any out there paying attention. I was just hopin' that the attention was more on love and acceptance of our fellow men, earth, and ourselves.

I believe that was well said.
TO ALL:
So I said no agenda. I may have been incorrect. I had an agenda, and that was to have.... "no agenda"
I just wanted to make a thread, where those who ARE Christians could pop up & say, "Hey, I'm a Christian and I'm a Browncoat."
Not even a place to discuss what you believe, or why. Because invaribly as soon as you do that you open the door for disagreement. And it seems to me, we've got plenty of other threads to do that.
I have absolute respect for those who don't profess to be Christians and choose to profess whatever they choose to believe or choose not to, as the case may be.
But this thread was my way to make a place where those who do profess to be Christians & love their Brownish coats could raise a glass (spirited or not) & say huzzah to Firefly, their faith & each other.

Christian and Browncoat here as well. I actually read more theology than any other subject at the moment. Spong, Crossan, Borg, Ehrman and Armstrong as an opening library list.

Another Christian Browncoat checking in

I am very much a Christian (LDS to be exact. And yes, Mormons are Christians.). And very much a browncoat.
I don't see the show conflicting with my beliefs. It is about real people in a realistic world doing real things. I feel like Shepard Book sometimes - I see what other people do, and even though I may not approve, I don't fight it. People know what I think even without me saying anything.
I also don't think that Mal's spirituality has much to do with his motivation. I think it was something that Joss Whedon wanted to address later, but didn't get the chance.
Anyway, I don't want to deviate from your lack of agenda. Just sounding off.

Just in case you hadn't guessed from my avatar!!!!
I love this 'verse and all that's possible within it... I too felt that Joss had plans for Mal's 'faith issues' in the future and having Shepherd Book on board created higher stakes for everyone. I loved that Book was accepting and didn't preach, except gently when the time was right... I love the family values and the consequences for actions that occour not only in Firefly, but also in Buffy and Angel... I remember when Willow brought Buffy back to life using dark magic I said to my bestest friend "there's got to be repercussions from that" ... and there were!!
It's funny - I work with teenagers a lot, have also read Borg and Spong recently (yeah, actually leading a DVD study with a group from my church featuring them both) and I find a lot of useful things in both Buffy and Firefly to use as 'teaching tools' - you know using excerpts from a show to illustrate a Bible passage/life experience.
I believe that as a Christian my biggest challenge is not to judge others... that is not for me to do... So I get along with most people, unless I actually see them hurting others...
Love this place in the 'Verse! - Magdalena x x
