As one of the most iconic "Christian" in fiction. What do you think of her /christian/?

For the uninitiated. She is from 4X game (think Civilisation game) called Alpha Centauri. She leads a faction of Christians after the exodus from earth in the strange futuristic world. She is often skeptical of technologies and its implications for humanity which puts her at odd with the resident mad scientist sans morality, but she is not book dumb as she possesses good understandings of science as well. She was supposed to be a fundamentalist strawman figure, but more often than not, she raises very good points which gives even the most unrepentant and hardcore atheists a pause.

Some of her quotes:

"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesteryear. But it was never the streets that were evil." - Regarding Information Networks (kind of like social media of today)

"Always there is the reach for more. Build up more wealth, tear more veils away from the ultimate mysteries, seize more power over your fellow man. More, more, always more to bolster human arrogance. Yet in the end, none of this frantic scurrying after worldly advantage will matter. When a man stands naked before his creator, he will have nothing to show but his soul."

And the most iconic of her quotes:

"We must dissent."

I usually play as her faction in Alpha Centauri. She is pretty based. I name settlements after Bible quotes.

Let's invent some Godwinson quotes-

"HUMANITY FIRST"

"We stand for the same old fashioned principles that made us prosper, before the arrogance of man that cursed the earth".

"Unfortunately, respect is something you earn in a battlefield"

His company is cucked though. It's sad. He needs more Christian conservatives at his company, unless he has to fulfill those insane (((diversity hire quotas)))

I like to think that she is the only semblance of the ordained over there so that is why she has to take reins, notice that she is only a humble Sister, not a High Priestess or something. That or other male ordained have no spiritual courage to go full Christian nation in the face of extinction so she just says "Forgive me, Father." and and takes the rein anyway.

dude, check out OP's pic again. she looks like martin luther in a red wig

she's more likely to be baptist going by how much she hates science

Hating science and being skeptical are two different things, lad. Science is theory. The only thing with a solid foundation in reality is engineering.

Seems apostolic is the obvious guess.

I always took her rantings to be those of someone probably from some cult, though

"Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?" — Sister Miriam Godwinson, "But for the Grace of God"

Looked up her profiles further:

Born 2014, in Athens, Georgia, father a high-ranking member of the Evangelical Fire. Baptized in River of Fire at age 7; attended series of religious schools, including College of the Covenant. Received Ph.D. in psychology from Yale University. Abundant charisma led her to position as ranking Psych Priest of Heavenly Diocese; later appointed U.N. Honorary Psych Chaplain for Re-integration Forces sent to countries decimated in Crusader Wars. Reassigned stateside when native populations elevated her to a cult-like religious figure (the 'Prophet Phenomenon' often coinciding with post-nuclear madness). Political pressure for the reconciling of the secular and the spiritual led to her appointment as Psych Chaplain, U.N. Alpha Centauri Mission.

They did this with all the leaders. Hypercapitalist? He's a blackfella from Africa. Ultra peacemaker? He's Arab. Super accomplished scientist? He's Russian. I guess they wanted to break stereotypes.

Perhaps contrarian is a better description then. I must admit I am tempted to play this videogame, but the keyword here is tempted. I just watched some porn before but didn't masturbate, and I don't like the direction I am going at the moment, man I hate myself sometimes, perhaps I just need to unwind?

No these are just worldly rationalisations, I need to strengthen my faith.

Miriam organizes a mass suicide when her faction gets eradicated. Isn't that a sin?
