One of the best phrases i've ever seen...."Your God is a poor excuse for a human being."
I'd say that is pretty accurate when about half of the Christians I know view their god as full of wrath, punishment and damnation for both believers and non believers for not doing "as he's commanded". Sounds more like a bully getting angry when you don't do what they want.
Gene Roddenberry in a script for an episode of Star Trek had one of the Vulcans on board, in a very logical way, say, 'If this is your God, he's not very impressive. He's got so many psychological problems; he's so insecure. He demands worship every seven days. He goes out and creates faulty humans and then blames them for his own mistakes. He's a pretty poor excuse for a supreme being.”
The script was submitted but turned down. It was too controversial.
How unfortunate that Gene Roddenberry was forced to capitulate in this instance. The original Star Trek was an incredibly forward thinking series for its time. That said, I am reminded of the episodes "Bread and Circuses" which clearly espoused a parallel founding of Christianity, as well as "Who Mourns for Adonis" where Kirk delivered his famous religious line in response to Apollo, "We find the one [God] sufficient."
Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth.
Lt. Commander Worf
That's a great quote ... do you know who first said it? I am reminded of this one, by the 'Great Agnostic,' Robert Green Ingersoll: "No god was ever in advance of the nation that created him."
