That's very insulting to those for whom the cherished story is sacred. You should apologize to Star Trek fans everywhere for the unfair comparison. First of all, at least Star Trek admits to being fiction. Second, the Borg are at least believable as a collective or hive mind. Any Borg unit is always in contact with all others and there isn't any independent will of the units.
Compare this with the badly written Jesus story where this fictional character is constantly demonstrating throughout the early synoptic Gospels that he's an independent being, separate from and subordinate to Yahweh.
