[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] What is more important is the manner in which such a depiction is presented. "Deep Space Nine," in general, handled the topic the right way, in my opinion. Sisko did not go around belittling Bajorans or ordering Kira to worship him ("I am a divinity to you, am I not? Now kneel!"). He respected their beliefs, and, by all accounts, their beliefs were "real;" they manifested before our eyes, even if the beliefs could be explained by 24th century science. Such a depiction is much better than a crew meeting (the Christian) "God," who turns out to be a second-rate alien, and trading barbs ("Why did you order people to worship you?" "Why did you expel humankind from Paradise?") that have more to do with 14th century beliefs than 20th century beliefs, let alone those of the 24th century, with him. (Whew! What a run-on sentence).
