   J.R.R. Bob Dobbs EPV to All   
   Religious themes in BSG.

   When the new came out i thought the overarching religious, almost hoaky,   
   themes would be toned down or dispensed with but it ended up the new had   
   even more overt and more ludicrous religio elements!   
   At least in the original, the 'Ships of Light' and Iblis were theorized   
   to be some more advanced form of mankind and no really omnipotent deity   
   sticking its hand in some Grand Destiny was evident as with the new with   
   harlot-angels and lazarus-Starbucks and a cruel God necessitating wiping   
   out all but 50,000 humans and flinging them from one faith shattering   
   epiphany to the next in some bitter crucible to prove Faith.   
   And dont even get into the idea of robots worshipping a human   
   god-concept.
