    Rule 3 of the Starfleet Guide To First Contact:

    Conservatives who use religion (or other ideologies) as an excuse to bludgeon their fellow citizens into power structures that hurt them are a constant across the universe and are present in all species, and they use the same exact script that must have been distributed sometime before the evolution of intelligent life and has remained unchanged for eons. Expect these people. Without fail every beautiful punchbowl you encounter and make first contact with will have these turds floating around in it just itching for an opportunity to sabotage negotiations with the federation.
