I posted this during the first Reddit exodus, I don’t make many memes so I think it’s time I dusted it off.

    You’re essentially saying that he didn’t have to say who he was to be who you want him to be because he says he has a lot of forms and looked human. Thor appeared human. Zeus appeared human. Why couldn’t he have been appearing as Zeus? Or as a god in any of the many planets that had people who looked exactly like humans on them?

    Memory Alpha always puts god in quotes. I usually defer to their judgment because they do a hell of a lot of research.

      You’re the one who chose to specify a particular god of earth (presumably the Abraham God, worshiped in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). I just said “God” and that he had claimed to wear many faces. I didn’t specify which god of earth, although to answer your question, Zeus and his son Apollo (as well as all of the Greek gods of Olympus) have already appeared elsewhere in Star Trek. We know who they are, and they are a different type of alien.

      And this has nothing to do with what I want. It has to do with what was in the film.

          I really don’t care what memory Alpha says. The film was pretty pretty clear. I just saw it. I really don’t wanna argue with you anymore about this. We’re just gonna have to agree to disagree. Some website isn’t going to change my mind about what I saw with my own eyeballs. i’ve seen them film a million times. I know what happens in it. 

          Edit: I like you, and I think this is a silly thing to argue about. We’re not gonna agree on this, so I think we should move on.
