Wait... is there an innocent reading of that barn sticker??

Why is there a bumper sticker for farmfucking?!

Definitely both. Training people to believe things without evidence, or worse, "because I said so", is in fact bad for humanity.

I dunno', with EA/Ubisoft et. al. going to 50 DLCs and never releasing a single unique idea EVER, I think it's fair to say of everything but the indie space.

You're really reaching at straws when you equivocate a captain admitting humans have believed in one god vs a captain making a religious appeal to God.

Starfleet doesn't condemn religion, but again, that DOES NOT mean they endorse it. You religious buffoons always utterly fail to understand what kind of humanity is portrayed.

There are plenty of religious people in ST. The point is humanity, and especially Starfleet, are secular and logical almost to a fault. It'd be a cold day in hell when a captain goes, "Oh jeeze, oh no, I don't know what I'm doing! Please Sky Daddy, help mee~"

There's even a freaking episode in TOS where Kirk directly denounces Gods as a whole, even while he's literally staring at someone with god-like powers. It's even a repeating theme in other ways through the series.

It is wholly anachronistic to have a captain defer to religious faith. They explicitly say humanity has moved past the need in all of the first five series.

Maybe Archer has some kind of religious faith-based statement I'm forgetting, but he's set in early Trek times, and it does not remove the fact that EVERY OTHER series before ST was sold explicitly states humans do not believe in gods for worship. Picard even basically tells Q to fuck off and Q literally has powers beyond what "God" is ever described as having.

Damn that game is so good... The mechanics might fall apart if they were expanded too much in the wrong direction, but outside of the start, it's paced well, written well, has a good sound track, etc... excellent.

Though FUCK the RNG for having to catch an aberration before the game truly starts.

Also in such games it forces you to use an at least decent build instead of being able to play around with silly things. I generally play games to have fun, not pick one of four viable builds and do the same damn thing as everyone else...

Carry weight is way less annoying than a grid inventory but you're damn right I roll with such mods! lol

Except they have so many screwups with writing it's not even funny. Like the captain freaking praying in s02e01... Yeaahhh, Starfleet is definitely known for their faith in god and not humanity...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say South Park.

They're just terrible satire. Even when they have a clear target for their satire instead of making fun of everyone in the episode, they get the freaking message wrong a lot of the time.

Like the wall-mart episode. What's the big baddy? Is it the economies of scale, and that allowing massive companies that get every benefit from that scaling compete directly with mom and pop shops? No, it's the customers who like convenience and low prices!

They're just ... shit at their job most of the time. The first couple seasons are waaaay better because they're just stupid juvenile stories having fun for the most part. The more political they attempt to get, the worse their satire gets, and I'm someone who generally agrees with what they're attempting to make fun of. (with many glaring exceptions, like directly calling the act of cleaning up the environment and using green energy "gay", making fun of trans people, etc)

They're seriously just... bad satire that ultimately only succeeds in normalizing being rude to each other.

Please tell that to CBS. (or who ever the hell runs these hellscape conglomerates these days and owns ST)
