Thou shalt not kill Shepard, or thou shalt face the wrath of the immotal Shepard.
Thou shalt honor thy Lord Shepard's Mother, for she is the one whom gave life to thy Lord Shepard.
Thou shalt not use thy Lord Shepard's disciples for political bull's solid waste excretions.

St. Ashley and St. Kaidan are both revered martyrs of the Shepardist faith. In fact, together they form the Holy Duality of Shepardist Martyrdom.

Shepardist scholars are divided in their opinions on the exact nature of this Duality. Are St. Ashley and St. Kaidan different aspects of the same individual identity? Or are they completely separate entities who are united only in terms of their divine purpose? Or are they actually like Schrodinger's Cat, who are both Ashley and Kaidan at once, but becomes one of them as one observes them, the outcome of which depends on the individual observer? Recent scholastic trends seem to favor the latter interpretation.

The Duality Problem is expected to be definitively settled at the upcoming Ecumenical Council of Bekenstein.

.
and in CHud Book of Revelation , it is explained that while Ashley appears in your world, consequently a twin parallel world exists where Kaidan is the choice.

Those who don't let Shepard in their heart let Reapers on their planet.

Do the followers of Shepardism have a day for prayers and offerings?

The followers of Muhammad use Friday, the followers of Christ go to church on Sunday. Obviously, the followers of Shepard don't want to have anything to do with these kind of heretic practices, but a day and a place to worship our beloved Shepard would be nice ;)

Any suggestions?

There's always Tuesday.

Monday is the first day, Wednesday is the middle day. Thursday is the day before Friday. Friday is the start of the weekend. Saturday is the weekend. Sunday is the day before Monday.

Yep. Tuesday's just there. I vote Tuesday.

But Wednesday would have been awesome. We could celebrate Shep and have Thing bring us a beer so that we may make clinky noises with the thing the stuff goes into!

i'd say Saturday, with rituals performed in the evening, because true Shepardists don't have a life.

Even though there are certain days that are more holy than others (see significant dates in original post...)

Thou needst not limit the worship of Shepard to artificial constructs known as 'days', for Shepard's glory transcends such notions. Any day will do.

"And so the Lord thy Shepard spoke thusly 'yay my followers, do not confine thou self to a day for my worship for every day of every week dost I watch over thee and everyday thou shall rise inst the mid of the day and look towards the stars for there I will be watching over you and speak the Psalm of Miranda thusly to reaffirm your faith in I, the Lord thy Shepard' "
Let us pray
"Psalm 69

A psalm of Miranda.

The Lord is Shepard, I shall not want.

He maketh me lie down in clean engine rooms: He leadeth me beside the control panels.

He restoreth me with medigel: he puteth me in hopeless situations about twice a day.

Yea, though I walk through the derelict Reaper filled with Husks and Scions, I will fear no evil: for thou art the squad leader; thy Revenant and thy Widow they cover me."

"And so hasth Saint Garrus of Vakarian taught us that each man should look unto himself and spend time calibrating each day, for calibration is the path to the Lord thy Shepard and the path to the Lord thy Shepard is thy path towards salvation"

Firstly, the Archbishop of Tuchanka should be Wrex of Urdnot. Secondly, Liara is also a "Keeper of the Shroud" because she has a piece of Shepard's old n7 armour in her apartment on Illium. Thirdly, there should be some sort of pilgrimage involving Mindoir/Akuze/Torfan/Elysium. Forthly, Liara and Miranda should be revered as the "harbingers" of Shepard's return. And fifth and finally, how do we have precise dates for Shepard's death and resurrecion?

Pft, I'm already believe in too much stuff, The Maker,The Goddess,The Stone/Ancestors,The Creed, The Wheel of Life, and a Follower of Tobuscus.
I'm not going to add Revised Christianity to the list. To the Void with you all! With your "Thy", "Thou", and other stupid archaic word. It maketh you sound retarded.

Ah, see!  If a true Shepardists do not have a life, Tuesday would be perfect.  If one does not have a "[social] life" what would they be doing on Tuesday?  Nothing, for it is patch day.....

I lol'd.

In seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised to see a religion of sorts rise around Shepard, kind of like with Gordon Freeman in Half-Life 2.

Why would I want to worship a moron like Cmdr. Shepard?
