"You're a Start Trek fan, right?"

Although I'm a user of Windows, yes, somehow I doubt the LCARS computer on board the USS Enterprise (and all other Starfleet ships) have that installed.

"You grew up with all those aliens running around with weird heads and funny looking gills on the sides of there butt cheeks, so you're really, really sure life exists elsewhere. Then you belittle a book like the Bible"
Frankly, the possibility of the likes of the Horta in "Star Trek", or the Xenomorphs in the "Alien" films existing is far more credible than the notion of an all-powerful 'deity' taking a handful of dirt - a silicon-based material - and making a man - a carbon-based lifeform - from such. The Horta & Xenomorphs are Silicon-based right from the start.
'We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.'
-Gene Roddenberry, creator of "Star Trek"
"because it rains on your Klingon parade"
Klingons at least destroyed their gods. They considered them more trouble than they were worth, you petaQ!
"even though there's tons of evidence to support it's claims. Try to think critically, instead of relying on your feel good emotions. There is no scientific evidence for what you want to believe. Until there is, science doesn't support your wishes...no matter how many Trek conventions you go to."

PROTIP: Vulcans abandoned religion, considering it illogical. It's their racial counterparts, the Romulans, who worship raptors as gods, you birdbrain.
Incidentally, Fred Phelps & co. thought the same as you (at last year's San Diego Comic Con):

The ability to protest a Sci-Fi convention is insignificant, next to the power of the Geek. Jesus was there too. Guess whose side he was on? >:D

"Start Trek? Wossat?
Anyway, Babylon 5 was way better."
Kosh: 'They are alone. They are a dying race. We should let them pass.'
Anon-e-moose: Who? The Catholic fundies or the Protestant fundies?
Kosh: 'Yes.'

Gotta love the cryptic sayings of Kosh (the Vorlon Ambassador) in "B5". Especially when Sheridan finally realised the full meaning of what Kosh once told him ('Understanding is a three-edged sword') in relation to circumstances at the height of the 2nd Vorlon-Shadow War, and the implications the meaning of that phrase had upon such. Fundies had better not watch the episode "Into The Fire", if they know what's good for them.
PROTIP: On set, Englishman Jason Carter (Marcus Cole, member of the Anla'Shok, or 'Rangers') was wont to use the word 'Bollocks' in conversations with people involved with "B5" (or not); he wanted to introduce 'Bollocks' to the American vocabulary. X3
