Lack of Religion

[zainea13]

Anyone else notice that practically everyone on the ship is faithless?

The scientist, I can understand somewhat. Many, if not most scientists, have lost or never had religion. Military however tend to have some religion. At least for the sake of when they are about to die. But for the rest of the civilians like Chloe, where is her religion?

And Scott, he was going to be Priest for goodness sake, and now he has lost all religion? His faith should be expressed. I mean, even if it was just one person that expressed their faith. Jew, Muslim, Wiccan, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, whatever. Someone on that ship should have a faith, and it would make the show a little more realistic if at some point during one of the montages we saw someone praying.

I sense something....The sound of a thousand trolls. Stampeding towards this thread with a fiery tongue and thirst for sustenance.

Yes...there will be much trolling in this thread.

You missed the episode where a large chunk of the people aboard were praying then I take it?





If anything I think it's probably unrealistic how many religious people there are, given what these people know about the history of Earth, the Ancients, ascension etc.

I agree. I've always wondered about that, if the Stargate program were ever made public, how the clergy and other religious folk would react (Especially the WASP's lol).

Leave religion the hell out of this !!! lol

As for your statement, maybe there isn't religion, however SGU is VERY spiritual, you cannot deny that.

[starburst]

Scott prayed during Darkness and your forgetting about Dr Caine who became very spiritual if not in the traditional sense

I agree that it's very spiritual and there has been displays of the Christian faith openly in at least a couple of episodes. The whole Faith planet and its little feet making trails through other episodes is definitely spiritual. That being said, I;m with dacooker on this - religion can stay out

Generally I don't like religion all over the shows I watch so I'm glad it's at a minimum.

[jelgate]

I think their have been more then a few episodes that show these people have their faith and religion. They just keep it to themselves and not invoke their beliefs on others. Dr. Caine being the exception

[zainea13]

no one needs to even say anything or broadcast it. A tattoo or a necklace pendant would suffice.

[P-90_177]

Indeed. Plus these people wouldn't broadcast their faith in their everyday lives, most people don't.

I've wondered about that too; especially since I hear a lot of stuff about how aliens from space would be demons or something along those lines & mean us harm. When I read that I couldn't help thinking of both the Wraith & Goaul'd & how funny it would be if the SG Program was real & was revealed. Those people would be right! And of course: slightly freaked out.

They all have religion. They just spell their deity with the letters G-R-E-E-D. Or was it M-E--M-E--M-E?

That's rather ridiculous, I think. Did you miss the very thoughtful and incredibly touching conversation that TJ and Riley had 2 episodes ago? About religion and what happens after you die? There wasn't a greedy or selfish moment there.

[magictrick]

Why have it just for the sake of having it? There's no point in that. Besides, as has been mentioned, there have been a couple of occasions where it did arise, and with meaning too.
