Is Christianity throughout history similar to the Borg on Star Trek?
"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile." -- The Borg, Star Trek: The Next Generation
Starting with the assimilation of Egyptian, Greek and Roman culture and legend, and ending (for now) with yesterday's press release from the Vatican about how they are going green, does the question above ring true to anyone besides me?
Atheist Hooligan - Swap the roles around. The Christians are the Borg and the people they assimilate may fight, but are unable to stop them..
What a superb analogy. I've never thought about it like that before, but you may be right. Though I will point out one difference. The Star Trek crew fought the assimilation, whereas Christians willingly give themselves over to it.
