Klingon Devil: Owing to the great many writers and facts being misplaced, here Trek contradicts itself again. Worf states that the Klingons killed their gods, possibly including their devils. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.49.13 (talk • contribs)
- Actually, this episode contradicts nothing. It was the later episodes you mentioned which contradicted "The Day of The Dove." Sir Rhosis 19:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Possibly.
Also, Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man.
—Klingon soldier, "Day of the Dove," "Star Trek"
Devil an an entity of pure evil is an ancient concept. Devil as a trickster and betrayer (Satan/Lucifer)who tempts otherwise good people into hurting others on its behalf without doing the dirty work itself is a modern concept. Perhaps the Klingon devil is pure evil and doesn't resort to tricks. Tricks would be dishonorable.
Again about Trek being anti-god: Gods were cheap villains, and Gene was cheap. GENE himself stated that while he was an athiest, he did NOT want to force his ideas on others. He hated that concept. That's part of what formed the NON interference directive which became the Prime Directive. It's in his interviews, he said it often at the early conventions. Its a statement of fact and MAJEL will verify if asked. People that read TREK as being anti-god, any god, are reading too much into a children's television show.
