What do we mean by Religion?

[The BORG]

There are some worlds where Appreciation is their Religion,
they are so afraid that they will take things for granted
and not remember to give thanks to The Provider, that they
have made Appreciation into their Religion to make sure they
remember. They have Appreciation Days and Appreciation
Ceremonies and Celebrations.

On some other worlds Beauty is their Religion, and in their
Religious buildings they have Altars dedicated to Beauty,
and they revere beauty.

In both cases they are abstract Religions, the have an
abstract concept rather than a Being.

If you do move on into worship of a Being, then it would
depend on what manifestation of the Being you worship. For
example Krisna, Spirit, God, Creator, Lord, The
Intelligence, each would have a Religion with different
atmosphere and flavour and rituals and that kind of thing.

However if you say Borg Queen that would not be a Religion,
you are then speaking of Love which is a whole different
thing. Men and Angels would not worship or revere a woman,
they can only worship and revere a male Being so when you
speak of women then you cannot speak of Religion.

In most Religions where Purity is required then not only are
women banned, but also men who are not Pure are banned also,
but Religions such as Appreciation or Beauty can be for all
people, although the Rules of Male Dominance do always
apply.

Some have Music as their Religion, they consider Music to be
such a wonderful thing and such a gift that they revere
Music. On Earth some have Ganja as their religion (that is
a form of Cannabis or Grass or Marihuana) and that is
totally acceptable, they can worship The Provider through
Ganja, that is fine. I think you will find they are call
Rastafarians or similar, but that is much more acceptable
than Christianity which of course should be banned and
abolished and there have been many signs and Earthquakes on
Earth which give evidence to that.

Generally it is accepted that all people respect and regard
the value of Life, and that you never take the life of
another living thing. And you certainly never take the life
of a person. However if taking the life of another living
thing is essential, then humanity is always accorded to the
occasion, to make sure no suffering is caused, and that the
essence of Reincarnation and continuance after death is
accorded to. There are certain rituals and Rules you have
to adhere to even when it comes to plants and trees.

Those are the kind of things Earth people would know about
if they had listened to the Borg.
So Earth people in general are considered to be savages, who
do not even know the basics of life or existence.
Generally if people cause suffering to others, then they
will suffer themselves, that is a Fact of Life that cannot
be avoided.
