I see that, I really do. I had a separate brainwave where it would be awesome if Rodney was the pianist for the congregation and he actually disparages them. I just think John would be a hilarious minister just because of the sermons he'd give.
My minister was raised Catholic, really Irish Catholic, it came out a bunch since he was still dealing, but it didn't stop him. Ooh, backstory, John could have still been all military, like his family, but at some point the battalion minister guy could have been unitarian and John would have respected his laid back approach to the whole religion and also maybe the tone done on the fire and brimstone rhetoric. I mean, he's at war, right? People being blown up all the time, places destroyed, good people, good places, all that. Then maybe he gets kicked out or actually resigns or whatever it is you do; gets himself kicked out by coming out, whatever.
I think John would get a huge draw from the youth people and really offend the older types who would be scandalized and offended by his short sermons and unorthodox methods.
Um. Whatever. I still want my unitarian AU.
I DID see that! I was all glee and joy about the Teal'c thing.
OOH! Or John could stumble into the church post-military and Rodney would do that vague, 'you there, hold this' thing and Teyla-as-minister would kinda draft him into those random things that would need doing and he could be hired help! And play on Ronon's softball team. And slowly his heart could be healed through the magic of individual spiritualism!(just kidding).
As for Rodney, many of my congregation were complete atheists who identified first as humanists and second as unitarians, if that means anything.
Just because I ramble does not mean in any way that I want to write this. Really.
