Honestly, my True Christian friends, I did not know whether to include this post here, in the Satan's Entertainment sub-forum, or in the False Religions and Cults sub-forum.
Star Trek was first aired 50 years ago this very night, and since then, it has often been described as a "cult phenomenon." Its creator, Gene Roddenberry, often referred to himself as an atheist. The show presented a future in which humanity had become united under the authority of the beast, with Russians and Asians working along side clean-cut Americans. They were traveling through the Heavens in a spaceship, and the only "god" they ever encountered was a false one who had temper tantrums and threatened to kill people.
There was a black woman wearing an obscenely short skirt who held an officer's rank, and she and the clean-cut American captain were shown "canoodling" in one episode.
Over and over again, the show fairly shoved its left-wing, liberal agenda down the throats of what was once a good, God-fearing America that knew better than to trust Russians and give black females access to expensive, technologically advanced equipment.
It's unbelievable the way the world has changed in the past 50 years and how so many of those changes coincide with the dark vision of Gene Roddenberry. It's also amazing how many people have chosen to embrace that vision when the ideas surrounding it are so preposterous. How could this fantasy franchise have survived and grown and gained such cultural ascendancy over five decades?
You really would think that people would have figured out how silly and far-fetched some of its tenets were. And dangerous.
It's not real people! Give it up!
Exhortingly Yours,
Handmaiden
