In that the allegorical Jesus intentionally associated with the grimier undercurrent of the time and place he was stuck in? Sure. In a way, I guess. Kirk was grime incarnate, in many ways.
In literally any other way that accounts for meaningful context? Lol. No.
He very vocally stood for just about everything that Christ stood against, and anyone with the most miniscule reading comprehension and attention span can see that.
It's a real shame that this awesome planet has such a bad case of human infestation. Keeping to the religious theme, we have more than enough resources and know-how to turn this world into an actualized garden of eden. There's just no money in feeding the poor and genuinely taking care of our kin. Causing problems oftentimes makes more money than solving them, unfortunately. So instead, we're having this stupid-ass, pointless, needless dialogue as the money-machine that has damned us all continues to do it's damndest to see to it that we take this could-be paradise and turn it into an actual, tangible hell.
If we are not all cooked to raw carbon by 50 years from now, I will gladly eat my own foot.
