[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Geronimo Well, my brief and shallow encounters with the Occult (on strange web sites and whatnot) have shown me that it sometimes has a bit to do with books like Daniel and Revelation. (Complete with other tie-ins to Martians, Freemasons, Egyptians, and everything else under the sun.)[/quote] I myself have dabbled in the occult. Luckily for me, I have more than enough undeserved Grace by my side. Now what I am about to say may be pushing the envelope on off topic discussion [i](forgive me for my horrible crimes against the mod.s)[/i] but I think that the occult would have you believe anything unorthodoxed about scripture if it had a shot. Any attempt to weaken [i](the public's view of)[/i] the church will more than likely will be exploited. now in an attempt to bring this back on track..... The first time I heard the name "halo" i thought it would have to do with religious background... however the first "concrete" connection I could find was quite some time [i](perhaps 2 years?)[/i] after I started playing the game. I'm sure I have missed many connections, and I may as well have erroniously pointed some out. But as far as I/we can tell, the game/story is riddled with it [i](scriptural parallels)[/i].
