Okay, well, after Chosen Realm I really wanted to do something, but I got writer's block really, really badly. I decided to continue with the God-theme, so I came up with this. It's messed up; it's all the main characters' views on God. Let the record show that I have no clue about Vulcan or Denoublulen Gods. I am prepared for many flames on this from people telling me they see it differently. I would just like to say this: while I'd love to hear your opinions and criticisms, I would prefer it in a civil manner. That said, on with the show. First up is Archer.
All in the Name of God: Archer
Someone Had to Make the Stars
God. God. God, God, God it's a name! God is a name that we apply to an abstract concept of the Divine because we have no idea what exactly the Divine is.
God is a name and people do things, claiming to be under the authority of that name. Well, I'm tired of it.
People ask me if I believe in God. How can you believe in a word? How can you claim to know what you're talking about if you think you can even come up with a word for someone like… something like… damn.
If there is a God, he took my father. He took my mother. He took friends, and comrades; He took my crewmen and He takes everyone, in the end.
People ask me if I believe in God. I say I believe in More, but I don't believe in 'god' because 'god' is just three letters that you can write on paper; 'god' is just a single syllable that you can mention in passing when you want to prove your point.
If there is a God, he's given me shit. He's given me no special favors. He's put everything just within reach and put a chain around my neck so I just… can't… touch it.
Come to think of it, maybe God's a Vulcan. But then there's an even more depressing thought.
If there isn't a God, though, then why am I here? No, I don't mean that as in 'why do I exist?', I mean it as in why am I out here? Out here among the stars. On this ship. On Enterprise. Why do I have this chance to see all this- to live this adventure?
I don't know if I believe in God- God as a being, a word- as a concept, even. But I believe in what I see, and I can see stars. And someone had to make them.
Hmmmmm… not bad, I think! Tell me your opinions of it! Next chapter is the cynical Mr. Reed, so that should be fun!
