Pestilence isn't actually a horseman of the apocalypse. That's a common misconception perpetuated by an early translation error. The fourth horseman is actually conquest which, to me, fits the vex better since they conquer planets and allows hive to take deaths role.

Its just a story either way. The actual trasnslation is no more meaningful than the mistaken translation. Wouldnt it make more sense for the game to follow the widely known and accepted translation rather than the lesser known one.

For that reason it is very important to have a correct translation. I was under the impression the mistranslation was common knowledge. The Pope and almost every Christian association has issued formal statements. You can't google horseman of the apocalypse, 4 horseman or pestilence without finding an article about it on the first page. Even in this post there are numerous replies about it.

The bible was written by man, god wrote his book in your essence, in your soul.

Yes because if there were a god he wouldn't want a book written because it can be misinterpreted and cause conflicts such as the crusades, jihads, dark ages and all sorts of genocide over the years ya know? I'm Not religious but I tell the religious this all the time. A god would want people to be good for the sake of being good, not to abide his book, otherwise free will is dumb to have.

Its not offensive, its just facts. Its a story. There is no two ways about it. And I never said conquest wasnt known, i said pestilence is more widely known. Hence why the op started with it, then a bunch of know-it-alls came in to correct him/her because they had nothing worth while to contribute.

Edited by Drking7287: 12/20/2014 7:56:43 PMYou're calling other people know it alls? And you're on here claiming you know for certain it's not real just a story. And what exactly did you contribute except insults to Christians? I'm not gonna get into a religious debate with an ignorant asshole piece of shit on a game forum. Muted.

Too bad this is the only reason why it still exists, people refusing to accept information. But mute me too, I don't care, you serve no purpose to humanity if your intellect is that weak.

Information? Him saying "it just is" isn't information or proof of anything. The fact that you think it is shows a great deal of your ignorance. You really feel the need to belittle people for what they believe? You're low class filth nothing more. A disgrace to the human race. Scum. You do not get to tell anyone how or where to place their faith. And yes you mouth breathing basement dweller you're muted too.

Insults me to the extreme, is extremely adept at denying the truth, still thinks his argument is valid. Yup, this is the 21st century for you, the most intellectual generation of humanity yet...

Did not know that. Cool.
