  • Apocalypse As Religious and Secular Discourse in Battlestar Galactica
    Volume 6 2014-15 APOCALYPSE & GHOSTS Apocalypse as Religious and Secular Discourse in Battlestar Galactica and its Prequel Caprica Diane Langlumé University of Paris VIII Saint-Denis Abstract he concept of the end of the world is inherent in religious discourse. Illustratively, in T Medieval Christianity, a divine power was held responsible for cataclysmic events. In the post-Hiroshima era, the concept of apocalypse has taken on secular meaning. Not surprisingly, given recent history, the apocalypse has become a prominent component of popular television epics; broadcast narratives, such as Battlestar Galactica and Caprica, entwine both Biblical and secular versions of the apocalypse, thereby creating a novel apocalyptic discourse which, instead of establishing the apocalypse as an end, uses it as a foundation, as a thought-provoking means of conveying a political message of tolerance and acceptance of otherness, of encouraging self-reflectiveness; and as a way of denouncing the empty rhetoric of religious extremism. Keywords: Television series, Battlestar Galactica, Caprica, religion, Book of Mormon, Bible, Book of Revelation, John of Patmos, Genesis, Adam, Garden of Eden, Heaven, God, fall of man, the beast, false prophet, angel, Second Coming, resuscitation, apocalypse, end of the world, nuclear apocalypse, Hiroshima, post-apocalyptic, genocide, intertextuality, parody, pastiche, religious satire, 9/11, America, religious terrorism, suicide bombing, cyborg, robot, humanity, monotheism, polytheism. he television series Battlestar Galactica1 establishes its chronology between a nuclear T apocalypse that has just taken place and the threat of a potential future apocalypse,2 both at the hands of human-looking cyborgs called Cylons. Caprica, its prequel series, set fifty- eight years before the nuclear detonation, unfolds the events leading up to the apocalypse in Battlestar Galactica.

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though this body be destroyed, yet shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself and mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For if we live, we live unto the Lord; and if we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors. The Celebrant says the following Collect, first saying The Lord be with you. People And with thy spirit. Celebrant Let us pray. 1 O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of thy servant Mary Anne, and grant her an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of thy saints; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

  • British Romanticism January 8, 2017 “No More Mr
    Walthall 1 Bill Walthall Professor J. Fleming LIT 509: British Romanticism January 8, 2017 “No More Mr. Nice Gaius”: Battlestar Galactica‘s Baltar as the Byronic Post-”Modern Prometheus” ​ Conventional wisdom posits that the writers of the Romantic period had little interest in mining earlier artistic epochs--like the Classical era--for imitation (“Romanticism” LVIII), and that the movement itself can be viewed as a reaction against Neoclassicism. Yet interest in Classical Greece helped shape many writers of the period (Hebron). This melding of the modern with the ancient informs a trio of works from the era, all concerning the same mythic figure, a kind of rebel hero. This focus on Prometheus, pulling elements from versions of the myth by Hesiod, Aeschylus and Pausanias, can be found in Lord Byron’s poem “Prometheus,” Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein (subtitled The Modern Prometheus), and her husband Percy’s ​ ​ ​ ​ lyrical drama Prometheus Unbound. An evolutionary leap from Aeschylus’ mythic figure, Mary ​ ​ Shelley’s ‘Modern Prometheus’ has had a ripe “fecundity” (McQueen 125; Blais 67) of its own, spawning generations of works in a new medium: cinema--from the James Whale/Universal films of the 1930s to twenty-first century science-fiction pieces like EX_MACHINA and ​ ​ Westworld. Running through the works, however, from the ancient (proleptically) through today, ​ is that same rebel protagonist archetype, the Byronic Hero. Gaius Baltar, the flawed human scientist from Ronald D. Moore’s 2003-2009 television series Battlestar Galactica, is a kind of ​ ​ post-“Modern Prometheus,” a neo-Romantic Byronic Hero who can trace his literary evolution Walthall 2 back through Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, to the ancient myth of the life-giver/fire-bringer, as ​ ​ found in Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound.

  • PURPOSE the Purpose of Mississippi Student Bible Drill Is to Challenge Students to Develop Skills in Using Their Bible
    PURPOSE The purpose of Mississippi Student Bible Drill is to challenge students to develop skills in using their Bible. Working together to prepare for the drill, students increase their love for the Bible, and its words and phrases become a part of them. PARTICIPANTS All students, grades 6-12, are eligible to participate in the church, associational, and state drills. Each church, along with the drillers and their parents choose whether 6th graders will drill in Children’s Drill or in Student Drill. Only students representing Mississippi Baptist churches that support the Cooperative Program are eligible to compete in the Selection Tournament. A method of participation can be worked out for handicapped drillers to fit their individual needs. (The method used with handicapped drillers should be the same for all 3 levels of drills.) It will be the responsibility of the student’s adult leader or parent to discuss drill procedure with both the person at the registration desk and the caller in the drill room before the drill begins. Please note that no special provision can be made for handicapped drillers in the Selection Tournament. RESOURCES • Mississippi Bible Drills will be conducted in the King James Version (KJV) and in Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). • The KJV can be purchased from Lifeway. • The HCSB can ONLY be purchased from MBCB @ www.mbcb.org/bible-drill • Bible Drill “how-to” videos, brochures, verse cards, and other helps are available on our web site at www.mbcb.org/bible-drill BIBLE DRILL COMMANDS 1. ATTENTION Stand straight; one foot not extended in front of the other; eyes focused on the caller until the command “Start” is given; Bible held at the driller’s side (in either hand) with the Bible’s spine down.

Time to Play the Religion Card: Messiah Complexes in Battlestar Galactica. Major Professor: Dr. Miriam Mara. In 2003, Battlestar Galactica (BSG) was re-invented from its 1978 roots and updated to a post-apocalyptic narrative that reflects numerous issues in current American culture, including the influence of religious rhetoric in post-9/11 politics. As theorized by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, the fictions of a culture reveal the subconscious values and beliefs of that culture,1 and BSG has proven fertile ground for such investigations. Four major compilations of critical essays on BSG have been published to date, with some articles analyzing the post-9/11 politics and others on the use of religion in the narrative, but few examine these elements in conjunction with each other or how the characters use them.

  • “He That Believeth in Me”
    “He that Believeth in Me” NOTE: This study uses red for Scriptures, blue for William Branham's words, All other quotes shall be in normal black italicized font, and Black normal font for all other words. I would like to read from the Church Age Book before we begin this study in case some pick up this study without having their hearts ready to hear from the Holy Spirit. Church Age Book Chapter 9 - The Laodicean Church Age P:78 The attitude of this age is exactly what it was then. People have it all. They know it all. They cannot be taught . If a point of truth from the Word comes up and a man tries to explain his view to one with an opposing view, the listener is not at all listening that he might learn, but is listening only to refute what is being said. Now I want to ask a fair question. Can Scripture fight Scripture? Does the Bible contradict the Bible? Can there be two doctrines of truth in the Word that say the opposite or oppose the other? NO. IT CANNOT BE SO . Yet how many of God's people have their eyes open to that truth? Not even one percent , as far as I know, have learned that ALL Scripture is given by God and ALL is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, etc. If all Scripture is thusly given, then every verse will dovetail if given a chance. But how many believe in predestination unto election and reprobation unto destruction? Those who don't, will they listen? No, they will not .
