The Gods or God

[xortex]

Any theories? Could there be a spider God or a fire God?

I said somewhere else, am I a man thinking of a butterfly, or a chicken or a spider or anything, or are any or all those things dreaming of a man? It's an ancient chinese saying.

Are there any multi-theistic religions?

In Trek? Because you're posting this in a Trek forum, not Misc.

I vote for Barclay the Spider God. So grey.. so creepy..

What about the Metrons et al. = the higher life forms. Who are they?

Kirk seems to be a Humanist aethiest or agnostic. He just barges in on the girl in church who lost her husband in Balance of Terror, without actually acknowledging the alter or where he is. He had more respect for the flag.

McCoy said we represent many beliefs.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

What altar? It was a non denominational chapel, if that.

Then what was she staring at, the wall? Maybe she was looking out a window? She was looking up like we all do but I guess there was no cross there even. Maybe it was a UFP flag?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Good question. Maybe a photo of her beloved?

Why does God need a starship?

Technically, Wesley is a god, he created that entire nanobot race in "Evolution".
I'd like to see how those fellows turned out.

By accident - as a side effect of something else. They might have a new purpose.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

We might all be created as a did effect of something else too.

I get the impression the prophets' relationship to Bajor is a side effect of their existence.

"multu-theistic?" That like "polytheistic?" Since there already are polytheistic religions on Earth, I'd say there's a good possibility that there are ones on other worlds.

From statements, Kirk would appear to be mono-theistic. Perhaps a Christian Humanist then?

I guess there was no cross there

There was a cross, along with other symbols, on the wall behind the podium.

without actually acknowledging the alter or where he is.

He very obviously "acknowledges" the symbols on the wall behind the podium, prior to leaving the ship's chapel.

One of the symbols, or all of them?

Are there any multi-theistic religions?

Vulcans, at least Spock's family, are polytheistic in the episode Yesteryear. Which was animated of course.

Or a Muslim Technocrat. Or a Mahayana Buddhist. For all we know, Kirk finds Himself sufficient! Although I rather think there would have been time and incentive to come up with an all-new exclusive God who'd be compatible with the new truths about life, the universe and everything.

Many attributes of Kirk came directly from Shatner, looks, mannerisms, voice, etc.

So would that make Kirk a Jew?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

If not a Jew, a Canadian.

After the third world war, the America mid-west became Canada's new Southern Province.

And everyone learned Esperanto as a second language.
