Science in a formal lab setting with independent peer review is where knowledge is gained. Getting worked up over any form of entertainment means you are taking yourself way too seriously.
The reactions I see to my OP is the same type of reaction you can see in sports fans who fight in a stadium or at a bar.
And even beyond that. People who go this emotionally far with fiction do not understand that this literally how something goes from myth to a real religion. I am not joking about that. If L Ron Hubbard can market words like "space/time" and create a religion out of it, and Joseph Smith can convince people he has magic golden tablets, don't underestimate someone taking that show so seriously that they turn it into a religion.
My only intent of this entire thread is don't treat anything as if it deserves a pedestal. Enjoy it if you like, but don't get so worked up over it to the point you feel like punching someone because they say boo to it. If you are getting that worked up, you are taking the show, and yourself way too seriously.
Is there a lack of mirrors in your world or something?
When I outlaw Star Trek or burn you at the stake for liking it, then you will have a case, but the fact I keep repeating myself does not make me a fascist. How about you try understanding why nothing should be worshiped instead of acting like a brat?
You do not undertand I say this because I used when I was young have the exact same reaction you are having with me now, I had with other people with other things I was into.
Stop acting like I murdered your family for saying don't worship anything or anyone. It is just a show, get over it.
Would you like me to behave like you with ABBA? I can do that and show you how silly you are acting.
