My Religion is the Doctor

[OmahaStar]

^ I believe that the term for those is Apocrypha.

quite possibly

more to the point, I am worried that if we treat Doctor Who like a religion, it would long ago have split into separate groups, each one worshipping one of the Doctors, as the one TRUE Doctor, and obviously there would be another group for whom the new series is not part of there holy bible of Doctor Who scripture.

I dare say one group may even worship Captain Jack.

What do you mean? There is only one True Doctor. We worship his Coat of Many Colors, Holder of the Sacred Cat Pin, Ye who showed mercy upon the Peri and did not smite her.

clearly you don't hang around fandom enough. i'd say that's already true.

I do try and shield myself from the crazy elements of fandom. (for any fandom)

Then why in the world are you on a Star Trek bbs???

because ive had a change of heart since I joined the forum, and since there is very little new Trek made, its easy enough to avoid it. I used to spend way too much time on the Enterprise forum.

Worshiping the Doctor makes more sense than some of the religions out there.

Well, most of them really.

Well, all of them. Yeah, it makes more sense than all of them.

^ The Doctor would respect Jewel-worship. In fact, I think he'd be delighted by it.

Zen makes more sense than Doctor Who.

Of course, it doesn't "make sense" at all. Maybe Davies is involved.

She'd be a great companion.
