Lines From “Battlestar Galactica” That Made Me Go Hmmmm….

The took down the following lines as I was watching the SCI-FI show “Battlestar Galactica” episode called “Escape Velocity” (Season 4 Episode 406). I took them down cause each line made me think of something in my own life. Do they make you think too? Lemme know.

Sometimes the right thing is a luxury. -President Roslyn commenting on Lee Adama

I wasn’t afraid to die. I was afraid of the emptiness I felt inside. I couldn’t feel anything and that’s what scared me. You came into my thoughts. You filled them. It felt good. -Captain Adama reading a book to President Roslyn

I’m not a priest. I haven’t been a particualrly good man. I have in fact been a profoundly selfish man but that doesn’t matter. You see something in the universe loves me. Something in the universe loves the entity that is me. I will choose to call this something God. A singular spark that dwells in the soul of every living being. If you look inside yourself you will see this spark too. You will but you have to look….Deep. Love your faults. Embrace them. If God embraces them, then how can they be faults.

Love yourself. You have to love yourself. If we don’t love ourselves, how can we love others?

And when we know what we are, then we can find the truth out about others. See what they are.

The truth about them. And you know what the truth is. The truth about Them, about You, about Me? Do you?

The truth is we are all perfect….just as we are. God only loves that which is perfect and he loves you. He loves you because you are perfect. You are perfect. Perfect just as you are.

Gaius Baltar preaching

I’m not a particularly religious person I call myself more spiritual but I like the thought that something in the universe loves me and that I’m perfect just as I am. Now if only I could really believe those things

PS To anyone else who watched this episode: How strange was it to see Baltar “mysteriously” rise up when the guards wouldn’t let him back into his quarters?….Reminiscent of another man who mysteriously rose up?….Food for thought.
