"As for nerd nirvana: I'd want *all* nerds to get a fair shake.
Aggie nerds; organic and urban aggie nerds; architectural nerds; botany nerds; heavy-heavy academic nerds; hell, everybody who earns the otaku label, get props for knowing stuff, so they can feel good about sharing what they know, instead of being afraid of being laughed at.
Oh, yeah, bullies?"
"And it's still sub-par, if not borderline retarded, because it has never dealt with its most provocative premise:
Every major religion on Earth was founded by an evil alien slug.
Except Buddha, Muhammad and Jesus, those were flukes.
Maybe not the flukes like in that X-FILES episode, but flukes, nevertheless.
C'mon, how seriously am I to take the whole idea of the System Lords, who act like pissy Eurotrash but in fact spent a lot of their time shaping one of Earth's cultures theologically?"
"For once I'd like to see a admiral or captain slap the nearest subordinate who cheers when a genocide occurs.
This is a awesome, horrible thing that they do, and should at least be considered in silence by pious people, who wonder if their God(s) approve or not, on what they have done.
If God matters, then a massive destruction should be contemplated as eating ortolans -- under a cloth, so the sin and the pleasure cannot be seen.
It would be different, anyway, than people cheering as if a touchdown occurred."
