Favorite Star Trek episode

Yeah... that is nice on paper, but more often than not fails to hold up in the real world (especially when you look at historical events, not just the past few decades).

How am I intolerant by my own definition? I do not interfere with people following whatever religion they arbitrarily follow (or for those very select few that actually "shopped around" for their religion to find the one that suits them best, whatever they chose; although what they end up choosing is still fairly arbitrary, based on how they were raised to think and all...). This does not stop me from discussing such issues, of course, any more than your views stop you from discussion.

I was not talking strictly of religion, but of your tendency to have firmly held positions on various subjects. You believe you are right and others are wrong. There is nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with discussing topics of disagreement. But according to your definition it's not neccesary for the religions to interfere with others of differing beliefs to be labled as intolerant, simply that they only accept one Version of the truth and reject all others as false.

By that definition of intolerant, you are. For that mater by that definition of intolerant, everybody is.

Any religion that claims it is the one true religion (such as all monotheistic religions to one degree or another) is an intolerant religion. There are very few tolerant religions out there.

toleration is required of opinions and people. respect is only required of people and to a lesser extent, animals. to an even lesser extent, objects.

that Last bit wasn't required.

One DS9 one I always liked was worf's Batcholar Party. The scene when Worf asks if some one will offer their blood and everyone steps back except for the good doctor. Loved that one. THat was one of the funniest ones ever. Just written for the hard core fans...


I am currently watching STar Trek 3.
I really like that one. THe music is so moody. And L.M. directed it very well. The scene with the mind meld with kirk and sarak. With the clock ticking in the background....

"And don't call me Tiny"

Kirk to McCoy
"How many fingers am I holding up."
McCoy to Kirk
"Thats not very damned funny."

Excelecior to Mr. Scott
"What Level?"
Mr. Scott's Reply
"Up your shaft."

"My god man with ears like those." - McCoy

Kirk
"My God Bones, what have I done?"
Bones
"What you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live."

Ahhhhh the memories.
