Millions of Christians have left their ancestral religion. Hugh and the bunch with Lore are a few out of trillions. The chances of breaking away are much greater with organized religion than assimilation.Frank Hipper wrote:Even in the B&B era? And what about Hugh?Darth Wong wrote: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.
Christian or Borg?

Borg. Since the OP seems to indicate that you have to be one, at least the Borg have an excuse for not leaving.
An Erisian Hymn:
Onward Christian Soldiers, / Onward Buddhist Priests.
Onward, Fruits of Islam, / Fight 'till you're deceased.
Fight your little battles, / Join in thickest fray;
For the Greater Glory / of Dis-cord-i-a!
Yah, yah, yah, / Yah-yah-yah-yah plfffffffft!

This is ludicrious if you take the question seriously. Of course Christian, because you aren't a "drone" wearing too much leather. After all, I've known Christians and outside of their beliefs most of them are pretty normal people you see the on the street everyday, which could be good or bad, but definately more human than Borg drone.

Re: Christian or Borg?
Could you please refrain from posting dumbshit flamebait like this? Christ, I didn't even have to look at the poster column to know who posted this thread. Doesn't that say something to you? I went off on a rant about how annoying it is for people to post a thread meant solely for insulting Christians for a reason, and many of the other mods agreed with me. Do you know who spurred me to write that rant? YOU. And now, here you are, back at it again. You couldn't put two and two together and realize, "Hey, he might be talking about me but just not mentioning my name!" You just couldn't take the fucking hint, so I'll just come out and say it.Superman wrote: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...
I'm not a big fan of Christianity, but even I'm fed up with your incessent posting of threads like this which are nothing more than flamebaiting ploys for acceptance. We get it, okay? You hate all Christians and think that that makes you one of the "cool kids" here or something, even though you've been told it doesn't. Get off it.
