Have anything to say about #283: dax #36: central to life? This is the place to discuss with others without having to post directly on the comic (though you're free to do both)! |

I love Dax and Weaver stories, I really do, but honestly, the whole "birth of a religion" theme that keeps reoccurring is a little off putting. I'm a person that sees and understands that some individuals derive a benefit from their religious practices, but has also noticed that, on a whole, religion has not been a good "experiment" with the big picture. For the most part it seems to promote classism, division, and prejudice (some elements of which can be seen developing in this story), and in many cases even superiority complexes, megalomania, and justification of nefarious actions against others. It's hard to see such an "evil" developing (let alone developing amongst characters that you like) and not find yourself "shouting at the screen, 'don't go down into the basement, Weaver!'"
