This is a forum where we can discuss the anti-Christian ideas in this particular movie. This forum is for fun and we can talk about something we all don’t have a particularly personal view against and ease some hostilities. This is what I got on this movie so far and I’m sure I’m not the only one that has noticed these similarities:
•The movie begins on a planet called “Nibiru”. It represents Gods celestial kingdom that will touch down in the book of Revelations. Nibiru’s inhabitants are depicted as inadvanced civilization of tribal people who worship a scroll (Bible).
•Khan is the story’s main antagonist. He clearly represents Jesus Christ.
•Khan’s blood brings the dead to life.
•Khan takes 12 punches (I think) to the face by Tiberius Kirk when they capture him (turn the other cheek reference)
•Khan has 72 crew members he calls family. (72 being half of 144, as in 144,000 from book of revelations).
•Khan, toward the end of the movie, smashes the skull of another antagonist named Alexander Marcus (bruising the head of the snake reference).I not familiar with Roman and Greek names to know if this is a hybrid name.
•In the movie the wester world is represented by the Federation. The Klingons represent the Muslim world, I believe. (Maybe another reference to the number 72). The Muslims believe in 72 virgins in heaven. The Christians believe in the 144,000 saints in heaven the book of revelations calls virgins.
Any fellow nerds who have noticed anything else?

You are really big into the 144,000 and other numbers. Is that a carry over from being with the Jehovah's Witnesses?

Lol. It’s been on my mind recently. Don’t give credit to the JW cult for what’s been written in the Bible for ages. Just because they breath oxygen doesn’t mean we shouldn’t. Accept what’s in the Bible. Are you gonna give Jews credit for Christianity? All this belongs to God. It’s God’s property.

I carry over any truth I pick up from any denomination. That’s also not a view I learned from freemasonry. I Never been a Freemason and I will never be, and didn’t know it’s ties to JW until I was out, but I did notice there belief in picking truths from every cult. Again, whatever’s truth is truth. No cult can hog a truth to themselves.

I forgot to mention that Khan is accused of destroying every civilization of every planet he comes across because “they didn’t meet his standards”. This is how devil worshipers see Christ as well.

That reminds me of another Hollywood villain. I think Germanbro on 4/pol/ also said something about lightning being holy and that's Palpatine's signature attack.

Oh sorry I forgot to ask. Is this thread also for Christian references in other media or just Star Trek? I'll make another thread if the latter.

Thanks for bringing Star Wars into this. I feel like Star Wars and Star Trek are trying to tell the same story. Star Wars focus’ on ‘the force’ a faith based idea. Star Trek focus’ on technologically power. It’s a Faith vs. Science ideology. I wish I could watch Star Wars without getting bored, it’s really hard to sit through for me.

Might as well make another thread. One thread can’t contain everything. There’s no way anyone would be able to navigate it in a month.

Curious to hear your thoughts on Dune.

Sounds familiar. Is it a movie, tv show, or game? If it’s a movie I can catch up. Haven’t had much time on my hands recently. I’ve been all over this board.

Book series, multiple movie and one tv series as far as I remember. This is from the blog of Scott Smith, a Catholic Theologian, who breaks down some of the symbolism.

I have only seen the David Lynch version which has the epic Max von Sydow in it.

Oh forgot to mention there is a new movie version being made or has been made. I am afraid to watch it because of how Hollywood destroys everything.

Yep. That’s why I didn’t watch the new Ben Hur.
Oh, the similarities between Ben Hur and the Count of Monte Cristo, biblical teachings within both. That deserves a thread as well. The saying ‘do not commit the crime for which thou already serves the sentence’. This was not just a line made for a movie.
