you know... bungie probably didnt even intend it to be this way its probably a random happening that you just found to match up with the game... for some reason each halo game has to have some religious crap evolving around it... then again... i did hear mickey (in kizingo blvd.) when i got a head shot on a grunt "praise jah! jah is short for jehovah, jehovah = jehovahs witnesses... oh god this game is fricken religious... D=[/quote]
To think that Bungie didn't intend for this game to be a parallell of Dante's Divine Comedy is just flawed, sir. Bungie has a long history of well thought out, obscure references and underlying themes in their games, even before the Halo series. Perhaps you just never dug deep enough to notice it in the Halo series before now.
That said, when Mickey says "Praise Jah!", he is most likely not using a shortened version of Jehovah, but referencing Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, who the Rastafari consider to be the earthly incarnate of God. That is the most common usage nowadays, so I'd bank that they were making a reference to that. Personally I like the idea of Mickey being a Rastafari.
