Q is the greatest villain of the Star Trek universe! De Lancie is a one of a kind actor and a great person!

It's funny, cause when I was young it was basically John de Lancie who first made me question atheism and materialism which eventually lead to me becoming a Theist and an idealist.
Maybe I should explain real fast that I grew up in the 80's and my mother was a Communist cadre - so I was kinda raised as a Communist and basically had no access to outside information. However, they did show (a poorly dubbed version of) Star Trek on TV and I was the hugest fan - I especially liked the episodes with Q as they made me question what I was indoctrinated with, as they usually dealt with very philosophical and idealistic concepts that made me question my materialistic upbringing. -
It'd be strange for the "omnipotent" Q to believe in or worship God, but John de Lancie, a mere fallible human, has no excuse for his unbelief!

In between the begets and begats and the Jumpin' Jehosophats, it came to pass that the Children of Israel were in bondage down in Egypt. Just answer the question, boy! Just answer the question...
