A (new?) Book Theory

I believe that Book has a very bloody past of which he sincerely repented when joining his order. I think he cries at the end of Serenity because he's only out in the world again for a day or so and he's already accessory to a killing. Moreover, no matter how sincerely he's tried to become someone who will never kill, the old thrill of seeing a bad guy eliminated is back again. I took his regret to be like that of someone who has kicked drugs and then finds out he's fallen in among drug dealers.
There is however something going on about Book's sexuality. There's the repetition of the never married line, the vow of celibacy, the answer that he's more or less intact. All that's got to tie into the mystery of his identity, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

i like this theory very, very much. i just wonder, would the alliance be so eager to give book such prompt medical attention if he was, in effect, hiding out from them?
