I doubt the Mennonites are as smug and "holier than Thou" as the people in ST:Insurrection. They were insufferable. Just watch the movie.

Also, they are contrary to one of the central messages of Star Trek - that technology, when properly used, makes life better - not worse. But this is not the thread for movie criticism.

Edit: Look, I'm not saying that everyone who rejects technology are pompous morons. But the people in ST: Insurrection? Oh yes.
