Vaal was definitely a focal point for false idolatry in Star Trek's "the apple" because villagers believed in the word of Vaal.

I can only wonder...<br /><br />The French master Claude Debussy once said "Music is the space between the notes." Music is the closest I've ever come to understanding what other people mean by "God." So, perhaps God is what we perceive as the void.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33754931.post-35070709443033130082021-04-04T06:50:06.157-05:002021-04-04T06:50:06.157-05:00Not related to Star Trek, but there is a line in s...Not related to Star Trek, but there is a line in some movie whose name I don't know that asks a disturbing question.<br /><br />"Do you suppose God stays in Heaven because he is terrified of his creation?"<br /><br />Not the exact quote but it is implied God is terrified of us humans.<br /><br />As for God needing a starship, he can call an Uber. God may work in "mysterious ways" but a lot of innocent kids die everyday at the hands of his most devoted followers.

Anyway Spacer, today's post was pretty cosmic--sometimes I think it's easy for us to forget just how impossibly vast & mysterious the universe is. Even in the Trek universe, only a tiny fraction of our own galaxy was explored... and meanwhile there are billions of galaxies farther out there. It's too much to even imagine.ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33754931.post-17527500610369415282021-04-03T17:59:26.475-05:002021-04-03T17:59:26.475-05:00I suspect that God is not so easily found - even w...I suspect that God is not so easily found - even with a starship.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
