Good find.

It actually turned out to be interesting, though I didn't expect it to be. The name of caught my eye when I was looking for something else altogether. That's always the way it goes...

Disturbing is the word I'd use.

firstmutant June 9 2005, 00:15:03 UTC

Disturbing that Klingons and Christ should be in the same sentence? Or that people actually spend this much time thinking about Klingon philosophy?

purenightshade June 9 2005, 14:59:02 UTC

both, actually.

Still denying the Trekker in you, eh? Hm. I don't think you'd understand some of my friends...

I haven't looked at it yet, cause the bell's about to ring for class, but I'll check it out when I can!

jadzia77 June 8 2005, 16:52:50 UTC

Well... it doesn't seem that interesting to me for a number of reasons.
One of them being that I'm Pagan. Kinda like the Bajorans.

cailin_t June 8 2005, 17:32:07 UTC

yeah, i'd clearly be bajoran as well. ;)

firstmutant June 9 2005, 00:22:54 UTC

You, certainly. :)

Hilarious :) I'd join up, but I haven't the time to give it the effort it deserves :)

Too many believers think they are not in a war, and do not know their weapons or how to fight. It would only take a subtle twist to take Worf into the kingdom, where he would have many surprises but fewer problems than people might think. As for the rest of his race, his idealism is only real in him, though, as far as I can see. They created ideals, Worf lives for them.

firstmutant June 9 2005, 00:23:50 UTC

Living by ideals is an interesting path to take.

dave_rainbow June 9 2005, 00:36:42 UTC

Yes. But ultimately futile, as I found out long before I believed anything in faith terms. When the day dawns that you realise that abstract ideas have no power to bring themselves about, and that they are only things that mankind can try to bring about, you see that they can only be as good as mankind's best efforts. And I think that Hitler and Stalin had ideals that sounded good to them. How does one man's justice get separated from another's genocide? So ideals live entirely in people's heads, are powerless in themselves, and are unattainable ( ... )

"the way of the warrior can and should coincide with the teachings of the king of kings and lord of lords" ahahaha, that was awesome. ;)

firstmutant June 9 2005, 00:25:59 UTC

Hee.

I wish now I had paid more attention in class while they were teaching the Klingon language.
