Christian or Borg?

Post by Superman »

Ok, here are your choices... You MUST become one.

Borg: You are a mindless zombie/drone that shares a collective mind. Your life's existence is devoted to assimilating others to force them to become Borg too. You serve a Queen. You are not very much fun at parties.

Christian: You are a member of a congregation. You claim to think for yourself, but you actually do nothing more than repeat what you read in a book and hear from a pulpit. Your life is devoted to "sharing" your religion with others so that they too might join. You serve an invisible deity that may or may not exist. You are not very much fun at parties.

Wow, they have a few things in common...

This is a stupid poll based on a false delima. Its like saying that you MUST either become a mass murderer in a Nazi concentration camp or a mass murderer in the Soviet Gulag system; you dont HAVE to be either of these, you would have to CHOOSE to become one of them.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

At least, one can choose not to be mindlessly devoted to Christianity and still adhere to the religion. Borg, on the other hand...

I choose Christian. They are not as stupid and if you break away, you get ridiculed, but not killed. Christians also can often be free-thinkers.

It's easier to leave the Christian faith or at least become a moderate than it is to leave the Borg Collective. And there's no such thing as a moderately assimilated Borg.

But you get cool gadgets attached to your arm as a Borg!

Although, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever actuallyseen a drone get any use out of his arm-implant...

For a few of the clergy's more perverted members, this isn't necessarily a stopping point...

I would definately rather be part-robot. Then I technically wouldn't be God's creation, so those damned fundies would stop annoying me with their endless, "You're going to Hell!!"

Machines don't go to hell. They go to Fat Bubba's Junkyard. And given the choice, I'd rather chill with Fat Bubba than go to Heaven, anyway.
