Reply #22: Loved it [View All]

[cprise]

But probably my favorite from the series was ol' Gene Roddenberry himself! Here is an excerpt from a fundamentalist website:

Parents, in a loving, but firm manner, teach your children to love the Lord and hate the lies of the world, and then throw all the atheistic "Star Trek" trash out the window! Gene Roddenberry, the creator of "Star Trek" has illustrated in his very life, the historical movement from humanism to pantheism. Having rejected Jesus Christ in a Baptist church as "largely nonsense", Roddenberry became a devout humanist. Like modern man in general, he finally ended up a devout pagan. The following are a few quotes that document his pantheism:

"It was at Denver that someone wrote a question 'What is your religion?' My answer was: 'I do not belong to any church but I do consider myself a religious man. I believe that I am a part of you and you are a part of me and we are a part of all life... also a part of the creative force and intelligence behind life."
