I love it more for what it does to Mal, than the exact wording.
Mal's faith-journey has always been one of the most important parts of his character to me. He was in a bleak place for most of the series and movie, despite the moments of humor; the end of the War had completely closed him off, spiritually. But what happened there on Haven-- I don't know, it was such a fulcrum point, it's hard for me to talk about coherently.

Yeah, I think I mostly objected to the wording. *g* Like you, I was pretty captivated by Mal's journey of faith, especially as it came to fruition in Serenity.
