The cartoon above came to my attention via Kissing Fish on Facebook. It is a nice addition to the collection of cartoon tributes to Leonard Nimoy on religious themes which I put together yesterday. IDIC is a Vulcan motto – and we can see it expressed on Star Trek in Spock’s adherence to logic while participating in living and making decisions with beings whose logic, emotions, and even biology are different.
The Vulcan salute, as most if not all readers will be aware, was derived by Nimoy himself from a Jewish custom of priests making the Hebrew letter shin with one’s hands when blessing others.
