Growing up in a super Christian household Star Trek was definitely co-opted a lot compared to other secular media. I remember Adventures in Odyssey having a whole sketch that was a riff on Star Trek (complete with a joke about an "expendable crew member" getting killed) and the Veggie Tales guys making a spinoff show that was basically Star Trek with penguins. The fact that the show explicitly takes place in a society that has advanced beyond religion somehow never came up then, though.

Also 1 out of every 5 episodes features the crew freeing some civilization from a repressive, exploitative religion or exposing somebody's god as a robot or something. But there is that one where they find out jesus is real and shows up on other planets sometimes, as long as they are ancient rome planets.

Why would anyone give a poo poo about someone bringing up Jesus Christ as it relates to some educational concept such as something to do with philosophy, history or english? Like I can't see an atheist getting up in arms for example if they mentioned that Martin Luther King Jr. was a minister and practiced his beliefs based on his faith. That's historical fact and something worthy of discussion. It's also not endorsing a particular faith or forcing one to pray. The whole concept is a tad bit silly.

Why would they put Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks into this unholy abortion of a film? Granted, it's impossible to take this film seriously at all. It only makes sense if you live in some weird alternate reality where something like this would actually happen. Nobody is going to completely poo poo on you just because you mention Jesus.

Sleeveless posted:The fact that the show explicitly takes place in a society that has advanced beyond religion somehow never came up then, though. Not so much in the original series. They don't talk about religion much, but when they do, it's got kind of a Christian vibe. In Who Mourns for Adonais, Kirk says that they worship "one God," and in Bread and Circuses, the crew takes a few moments to sit around the bridge discussing how awesome it is to worship Jesus.

The Bible has poetry, philosophical discourses, and histories in it. I find most people who aggressively push for their world view to be kind of sad, since all they do is miss the bigger picture and sound like children.

As for the first part, I just find it weird that "fairy-tale" is used as some sort of insult. It's only an insult if you ignore how important fairy-tales have been over the course of history. They absolutely can have poetry, philosophical discourses and histories as well, but colloquially a fairy-tale is just something that isn't true these days and that's sad.

I remember them being really hosed up for 1990's era children's books. There was a bit where they have to slit open a pagan girl's throat to get a tube in there so she can breathe, because she was poisoned by the water that God crashed a toxic meteor into. That was in addition to numerous scenes of people dying in earthquakes and poo poo, and how eh, whatever, they weren't believers (the believers had magic plot armor).

I. am. truly. baffled. that. some. adult. still. thinks. magic. tricks. are. real. magic. Just the narration was enough to make me want to stab my brain. This guy's basically taken a usual approach lots of the nutbars take. "I can't explain it/understand it, therefor god" The stupid thing is a small google search will tell you how these tricks are preformed. Hell, the face changers he drones on about you can see the masks pull down by the arm hidden under their cloaks in shots where the arms don't wave up to obscure it.

^ Really, if anything it always looks like "kookery" is on the rise. There's insane assholes all over. I do love magic though, good magic that leaves you amazed and entertains. It's just as much showmanship as it is talent. Blaming satan and actual powers for stuff people learn and practice all their lives because their lives depend on it is just stupid and sad. I'll bet this gently caress is the same that watches movies to pick apart messages for Jesus/satan rather than for entertainment
