  • The writer of the "Bread and Circuses" episode of Star Trek was the late John Meredith Lucas, Lucas was a writer, producer and director on many TV shows, including on the Paulist Catholic TV Drama called Insight. The sub -plot about the Sun worshipers actually being followers of the Son-Of-God was probably, just a little bit of subtle evangelizing.

  • Ha, when I see this episode all I see is gay subtext. Can't decide if I detect more sexual tension between Kirk and Spock or Spock and McCoy in this.

  • @TheRhinehart86 Advanced moralistic societies entail and objective moral law. If moral law is objective this entails a Moral Law Giver. God has created us in His image so you have a moral compass but in our separation and sin we can have a bad receiver that does not get a full signal. It is not racist to say that we all have innate knowledge of what we morally aught to do as a point of evidence for a personal God. Your thesis entails God so why object?

  • the is no god

  • This is a flawed thesis, Arab, Indian and Chinese cultures all developed advanced, moralistic societies with out christianity. This is racist
