You are mistaking persistence for dogmatism. Not sticking anyone in ovens here. No laws are being passed, no one is being forced to be on this website or respond to me. No demands on my part blocking those in this thread who don't agree.
I am trying to explain to you why pedestal thinking is not a good idea. And I am also telling you I used to have the same emotional reaction to others the same way they are reacting to me.
Star Trek like ABBA like sports are entertainment.
And even with religion, you are forgetting what starts out as mere stories get successfully marketed an go from small groups to damaging religions. It does not matter what we are talking about here, the point is don't worship clubs or individuals or politicians or sports stars or rock singers as if they walk on water.
Find me anywhere in this thread or on the internet anywhere I sad "never" for merely saying it's just a show.
"It's just a show" is the same as "It is just a game" when talking about sports. People are getting pissy because I am not treating Star Trek any differently than they would treat ABBA.
