The Bible reminds me of Star Trek

That episode where an entire world's culture is based on one book: a violent and very poorly written dime novel. There's a similar episode in Star Trek NG where a hotel is a depressing trap based on one cheesy book. The moral is to read more than one book.

@SnowBlack Really awesome. I loved the Sci-fi one, can't remember the title. Also Top Gun and many more.

@Grateful4you Edge of Tomorrow was a great Tom Cruise movie. I didn't like War of the worlds.

Grateful4you · M

@SnowBlack I thought it well done. I rarely watch movies these days but once in awhile on YouTube for the aforementioned reasons.

Voyager had the Ferengi posing as Gods in one episode and spreading capitalism as their religion with their book the Rules of Acquisition.
And the Stargate series is completely based on false gods.

@canusernamebemyusername You mean the Republicans are all just Ferengi? Brilliant! 😆

@spjennifer When they first showed up in the star trek universe they are described as being based on the worst of capitalism so pretty much.

SnowBlack · 18-21, F

@canusernamebemyusername I think the best parody of religion was an episode called Distant origin (Star Trek Voyager). Knowledge of true origin is forbidden because it would threaten the widely held belief.

Star Trek was beautiful for its social insights

The Big Bang makes an even better fiction story because the scientists are lying through their teeth. The universe doesn’t even expand
*mind blown*

You don’t know what I’m talking about with the Nobel Prize! Roger Penrose regurgitated the crap he wrote with hawking in the 60s and they accepted it. 🤣🤣🤣

@Pfuzylogic Best to not approach science with a religious agenda. It's unscientific.

@SnowBlack
You can’t examine Fod or creation with science! It don’t work. In Genesis the good book says that God spoke everything into existence. Now how are you going to prove or disprove that with science? It don’t work!

Beam me up, Gabriel.

@NorthernBear I didn't laugh, but I suppose some could find it funny.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Scientific claims can be verified when you make the effort. The same cannot be said of supernatural claims. This is something the mouthy unlearned regularly fail to understand.

The one where the sky in the planet has a pinkish hue? We are one with Landru?

spjennifer · 56-60, T

@Northwest Yes, but Landru was a machine, a fraud, it was all based on lies!

SnowBlack · 18-21, F

@Northwest Nope. The planet ruled by 1930's mobsters with machine guns. The Landru episode was another parody of religion something like The wizard of Oz.

Northwest · M

@SnowBlack Ah yes, the "A Piece Of The Action Episode". The original series was so low budget, that they were salvaging stuff from other sets. For The Return of the Archons (Landru) episode, they re-used parts of an Atlanta set from Gone With The Wind.

A lot of episodes were actually parables for current events at that time, too. The writing was very impressive.
