In addition to $1.5 billion being spent on a plan to invent roll-up beef jerky, an iPhone app that helps people schedule their coffee breaks and scientific research on the swimming patterns of goldfish, was a workshop blending Christianity with the existence of aliens.

The event, entitled “Did Jesus Die for Klingons Too?,” focused on “the implications for Christianity if intelligent life were to be found on other planets.” According to the Global Post, actors such as LeVar Burton and Nichelle Nichols were present, and an “intergalactic gala celebration” was included, at which attendees were urged to don “starship cocktail attire”....

....While Coburn’s report outlines that the government is proceeding with its plans for the roll-up jerky, as “a variety of flavors are being developed, including salami, chipotle, turkey, pork and smoked ham,” it is not known whether it came to a conclusion by the end of its workshop as to how Jesus’ death would apply to aliens if they indeed exist.

The Klingon Rite of Ascension requires that the initiate walk between two rows of warriors armed with pain sticks. This is sometimes called The Way of Blood. It is a test of a warrior's commitment and courage. Christ satisfied this requirement and much, much more. And this act was no punishment for a criminal, as the Romans intended, nor was it a rite that had only a symbolic meaning. Christ did not run from this pain; he welcomed it. His sacrifice was an act of will. In this crucifixion, Christ defeated his enemies. And this is what makes him a suitable savior for the Klingon as well as the human and all races.

While or military is trying to settle this question - the space aliens are out there planning how to wipe us out.

All that money to invent beef jerkey... all they have to do is buy Slim Jim, they could probably have bought the company for that!!

The Jesus thing is crazy... who did this? Can these people be fired?

At no cost to the DoD: The answer is YES. Jesus died for the redemption of all of us created by God. I figure that God may not have begun or stopped with creating only us. Thus His Son is for all of us, where ever we are in His universe.

I think the Christians’ rabbi died only for the Klingons around Uranus!

In space, no one can hear you facepalm.

C. S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy was about something like this. Not so much Jesus dying for non-terrestrial life (that was, at least for this solar system’s purpose, only an earth thing), but about how Jesus might relate to life on the other planets.

In addition to $1.5 billion being spent on a plan to invent roll-up beef jerky

I'm trying wrap my head around the idea...it takes 1.5 billion to do someone any beef jerky company can do for 1 % of the cost...

...and why do you need roll up beef jerky in the first place...?
