Offensive content in the Septics Perfected Strike, the jab at "In God We Trust"

I just wanted to point out (though I think that the devs know it already) that it seems you guys tried to take a jab at the phrase "in God we Trust" in the septics perfected strike (dialogue right before the fight at the end of the strike). Not only that, but also a jab at the idea that "all things are possible with God." Now, I understand everyone is going to think "man you are sensitive," but honestly I find it offensive and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Believe me, this sort of thing would not be here if those phrases were Islamic or Hindu in origin, or of any other religion. And if Bungie took a jab at Islam they would hear about it (I don't mean a violent response, in case you thought that). What's up with this? Yes I am a Catholic, and yes I am offended. Does that matter to you guys at Bungie? Consider removing that particular bit of dialogue please, it seems off color and unnecessary, and the fallen are not doing anything like either of those things I mentioned above.

    Just stop. Christians are not an oppressed minority in Western world.....no matter how much some of you try to wrap yourselves in victim status. Shiro wasn't making fun of Christians. He was making fun of the IDOLATRY of the Eliksni, and the fact that they worship MACHINES as "gods". That this thing that looks like it (almost certainly was) rebuilt from junkyard scrap was being seen as something "divine". IOW, you conveniently left out the last thing that Shiro said in that monologue: [i]"Get in there!! Show them that their 'god' is NOTHING BUT METAL-AND-TECH." [/i] Frankly, I think you're just walking around with a chip on your shoulder and looking for something to be "offended" by. In which case, that's your problem. No one else's. Oh, and have you forgotten you're playing a game where the heroes serve a machine that actually CAN perform miracles? Where's your "offense" at that? I believe the Speaker (at the end of the vanilla game) refers to The Traveller as a "broken god."
