      ugh, I missed the season finale of Orville, its doing the cultural contamination "natives think you are a god" thing.

      The TNG episode about this was much better than the average invocation of this trope, because it emphasized that for the natives believing that Picard is a god is a *rational belief*, it's the theory that best fits the evidence (Lampshaded by them being proto-Vulcans)

      Picard talking them into thinking of him as something other than a god, a mortal with powerful technology, took a lot of explaining and was still arguably a philosophical quibble

      Anyway it was better than the dehumanizing clichéd "those wacky natives" kind of plot you see elsewhere

      I've said before that I'm the kind of atheist who'd be totally open to worshipping a god who was there and who honored the ancient godly deal of giving you shit in return for the worship

      At a certain point, worshiping a god like that—particularly out of a selection that offers several varieties—seems like the most intuitive choice ever Basically it's like taking a Prestige Class for the part of your personality you like best

      I keep saying the word "covenant" is just a fancy word for "contract" and YHWH, like all his contemporaries, starts his relationship with his people by laying out a deal It's some bullshit when Job comes along and he's all like "Yeah I don't actually have to honor my part"

      This is only reinforcing my "only a God that resembled Trump would allow for Trump" doctrine

      Did you see that thing from a staffer on THE APPRENTICE where Trump would just show up at the end of the episode and fire someone at random without having actually watched the preceding show

          And sometimes it would actually be the contestant who'd done the best on all the preceding challenges So then the staffers would have to scramble to comb through hours of footage to recut the episode to make the fired person look bad to retroactively justify it

          Nothing in the world of reality TV surprises me any more since I learned (obvious in retrospect) that house-hunting shows recruit people who have already picked out a house, and then just pay them to tour two others and pretend to make a decision.

          Yes exactly That's why the reasons they reject the other houses are so stupid
