There's no question that legions of Star Trek fans world-wide go to great lengths to 'be themselves.' Attend any Star Trek convention or a midnight showing of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and you'll see plenty of folks dressed like Romulans, Andorians, or as the ever-popular ridged-brow brawlers, the Klingons.
Some fans take things even farther than their garb. Learning the Klingon alphabet [which we've got below for you if you'd like to give it your best shot] is commonplace; speaking Klingon a little less so.
But how about meshing Klingon beliefs with your own Earthly faith?
That's exactly what the true believers of the Klingons for Christ movement are doing. You might think that reconciling the warlike Klingon ways is rather contradictory to the more pacifist teachings of Jesus Christ. Klingons for Christ [Link] are happy to explain exactly how Christianity and the Klingon ways actually fit together, and they'll use plenty of New Testament scripture to support their views. They'll even translate passages from the Book of Psalms or Revelation into Klingon to save you the time and trouble.
In the end, they say, Christ did not run from his pain; he welcomed it. His sacrifice was an act of will, and with his crucifixion, he defeated his enemies. This, concludes Klingons for Christ, is what makes Jesus Christ not just a suitable savior for Humanity, but for Klingons and indeed any and all races, wherever in the Universe they might reside.
