Star Trek 2009 sucks!

In TNG it would be conducted on the Holodeck.  By the chaplains.  If they can have enlisted e-9s yet no e-1 through e-8s then on a ship full of officers i see no reason to believe  they would not have chaplains.

My point is:  isn't Star Trek dissing Christianity as much as me and Sideswipe and other people are by not mentioning it?
It's almost like it doesn't exist in the future, or isn't a big part of space travel at the very least.  Science seems to be more important than praying in space.

The Prophets are noncoporeal aliens
Sybock's god was a pissed off super power alien.

Canon please, because nowhere in the movie did they say God was an Alien? Yes I know
what the behind the scenes stuff said, irregardless of that fact, what they found was clearly
non-corporeal. And tell me, if you imagined God would you imagine anything less then a
non-corporeal alien?

Picard's comments on religion in Who Watches The Watchers are right on.

The simplest answer is that the creator(Roddenberry) didn't want religious ideas to come about
at all during the series, therefore, no churches, mosques, etc.

However, when DS9 came along, the show was free to explore ideas of God and his relationship
to man via the prophets. Whether churches are on the Enterprise or not, religion does still exist
in this vision of the future.

Spock:   Sybock, this is not the god of Shockaree, or any other god.

Unless you think god is so weak he gets his ass handed to him by a Klingon bird of prey's disruptor.

Again, I didn't say he was God, I said he was The Devil, who is by definition not God. He may be a
God to others, but in any case it is clear he is a non-coporeal or spirit being of some kind.

Yes well Picard also believed that it was better to hire captain kirk then to go further back in
time and punch Soren in ten-forward. This is the SAME picard who believed it was okay to
Transplant native americans from a planet in the Cardassian DMZ and yet he resisted moving
the Sona from their planet. My point is Captain Picard is a hypocrite.

Not mentioning something is not a dis.  They never ate a roast beef sandwich on the show either, this does not represent star treks view on roast beef or sandwiches.  

Also religion and faith comes up CONSTANTLY in star trek.  There are many varying views of religion from many different episodes.  To hold that star trek in fact has one pervasive opinion on pretty much any topic, is pretty much easily thwarted.

He did not believe it was ok to move the indians,  He got an agreement with the Cardassians so they could stay on there planet.

I hope you all know you have driven me to drink.  well... maybe driven is a bit strong.

Only after a shitload of prodding by Wesley! When it comes to white people though, he's ready to fight for their right to... to...
to violate everything about their culture by using weapons to destroy, which is what the Baku were against anyway.

Funny how Picard is an enlightened intellectual one minute, then the next he's a gung-ho action hero ready to yell "Yippee
ki-yay motherfucker".

[Sideswipe]

wow, pulling the race card?  really?

[Russell]

Off-hand do you recall ONE Baku who was black?

[Thrifty]

Is there a joke I'm missing out on, or do people really not see the absurdity of this entire thread?

[sarcasm_made_Easy]

We do but you are enjoying it so much that we thought, we would keep the show going.
