Then again, Carter was a strong woman when she walked in onto the briefing. And Weir was very strong indeed. Too bad they killed her off blithely.If you wish to see more of my rants, diatribes, and general comments, check out my Twitter account SirRyanR!

Agree completely. Make this show like BSG and watch it die just like BSG. I feel that this whole soap opera element is intended for SGU to attract a young, female demographic.
Unfortunately, the largely male, nerdy writers/producers on the show seem out of sync with women. Women aren't stupid, they like character development and real relationships just like the rest of us. Soap Opera's are for washed-up housewives that have nothing going on in their lives and need to prattle over mindless gossip.
I somehow doubt the soap opera demographic will be attracted to a show about a stranded ship in outerspace.

Read my above bullets. I said that he still believes in the Catholic faith, obviously, due to his prayer. However, he commits two sins classified in the Catholic Faith, in which he believes, and he doesn't even show any sign of regret? That is what I call a situational Christian. I make mistakes, yes. I make a heck of a lot of them. However, do I regret them, yes. I get no impressions from Scott about this.If you wish to see more of my rants, diatribes, and general comments, check out my Twitter account SirRyanR!

Originally posted by lordofseas View PostCatholicsm, which Scott was raised by, explicitly disapproves pre-marital sex/adultery
Originally posted by lordofseas View PostBelief in God should not be situational. In that I mean that you should not believe in God for the sake of saving yourself, but in that you actually believe the doctrine. And then you simply walk out the doors of the church and do things that are contrary to your religion. What I just described is what I call a "fake" Christian. A "real" Christian is a person who will follow the doctrine of his/her religion, and it's spirit, not its letter, everyday. That is what I believe.

Originally posted by Krazeh View PostBy following I assume you mean following his teachings? As defined/intepreted by who?
I don't know enough about Catholicism and the various churches that all fall under the umbrella of catholicism to know whether or not that is the case for each and every one. But even if it is who's to say that Scott has continued to believe in the Catholic intepretation of Christianity? And has not changed of the other Christian denominations?
I don't think it's been demonstrated anywhere that Scott believes in God simply for the sake of saving himself, nor that he's done anything contrary to his religion. He may have done things contrary to your belief/intepretation/opinion of Christianity but how do you know yours is the correct view? What makes his intepretation any less valid?
A 'fake' Christian based on your views of your Christianity and the teachings of the Bible/Jesus Christ.
The second you admitted that various parts of the teachings of the Bible/Jesus Christ can be disregarded because they are no longer relevant, or can be reintepreted to better fit modern life you blew up your theory about what a 'true' Christian must do to be considered such. Either the Bible has to be followed to the letter or it doesn't. And if it doesn't then you open the door to many differing intepretations of what the bible actually says and means, and the ability for people to have many differing views on what is immoral and what isn't, and what teachings must be followed and what can be set aside yet all continuing to be considered as true a Christian as any other person who believes in ChristIf you wish to see more of my rants, diatribes, and general comments, check out my Twitter account SirRyanR!

Martin Luther used Reformation.

Originally posted by lordofseas View PostI thought I was explicitly clear when Scott was shown to be a Catholic, and when I said Catholic in my previous posts.
Also the fact that Scott was shown to have been raised by a Catholic priest doesn't mean that he himself continues to be, or consider himself to be, a Catholic. Given that we've seen he suffered a crisis of faith when he was 16 and saw the priest who raised him drink himself to death then it's a fairly good bet that, while he clearly still beleives in God, he will have reconsidered his views on organised religion and what the belief in God means to him.
It may very well be the case that he could be considered a 'bad' or lapsed Catholic but that's not the same as not being a 'true' Christian or demonstrates that anything he has done is contrary to his Christian beliefs.

Can we just agree that Christianity - even Catholicism - is dependent on the person following it, and those teaching it. There are no hard and fast rules on how to be the 'best' Christian, given the different denominations and teachings - even within Catholicism.
Furthermore, just because one Christian acts in a certian way, does not make the other one any 'less' Christian because they don't. It just makes them different with a different interpretation.Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.
