In case you haven't noticed, Halo's idea was from the Bible.
I think loads of people know this but for those of you who do not... Well, was in my Church when the Pastor starts going on about "The Covenant" and "The Ark" and I was like, "Oh my god, the Pastor plays Halo as well?" So I searched Wikipedia (no, not Halopedia) and look what I found...
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_%28biblical%29]The Covenant[/url]
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_of_the_Covenant]The Ark of The Covenant[/url]
Notice. The Ark. The Covenant. And what are the Covenant obsessed with? The Ark. (Also, 2 of the levels in Halo 3, lol.)
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah%27s_Ark]The Flood and The Ark[/url]
There are 2 different Arks in the Bible. One is the aforementioned one and the other is this one. Noah's [i]Ark[/i] and [i]The Flood[/i]. The >>>>FLOOD<<<<. Why give such a weird name for a parasite otherwise?
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophet]Prophets[/url]
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heresy]Herecy (Used by The Covenant)[/url]
Well, both of the articles have the word "Religion" in it and what do we usually associate Religion with? *cough*
One more thing...
[quote]1 In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.
4 In him was life: and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.[/quote]
[b][i][u]John 1: 1-7, or John 117?[/u][/i][/b]
Found [url=http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:1-7&version=31]here[/url]. (Thanks to clOaKdOoD who helped me find the link!)
Well, what do you think? And yes, I do know that this is common knowledge.

Thanks.

[quote]...different meanings...[/quote]
Ever heard of parallel? The OP's parallel is excellent, but I don't think anyone has had the courage to post something like that. At least he is contributing to the community instead of tearing it down.[/quote]
Nice explantion. To enforce the point below, read John 1: 1-7.
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BEAST
Well Master cheif is definitly on the good side. It's like this
1. God makes Religion.
2. God makes guide to the living (Bible).
3. Mass part of the world accepts Religion.
4. Most of the mass misunderstands Religion, by lack of understanding Guide.
5. Mass of people who don't understand the right way are screwing everything up and want to kill everybody....not quite literally. (i'm not trying to target muslim extremist, because christrians will do it also).
6. Guys who understand it are outnumbered. The trust is in God to set things right.
7. God works miracals that are not statistically logical to man.
To explain # 7 in halo style.
- All the crap Master cheif did is crazy and he should have died a million deaths. The covenant was to strong for the human race. Still we pulled through because good always wins...God always wins. Clutch performance.[/quote]

To No1 but some1: God told Abraham to kill Issac so god could see the loyalty that Abraham had. God wasn't going to have Issac killed. It was a test. As soon as Abraham was going to stab his son, an angel from the lord stoped Abraham, and told him it was just a test. Abraham showed he was loyal. [Edited on 05.06.2008 1:36 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] No1 But Some1 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jack Oden Don't be so hipocritical. You mock the heck out of religion so harshly yet explode with vile posts when someone merly suggests trying religion. Does that sound fair to you? BTW, sure religion is not all good, and has alot of cons, but it also has pros. And some of those pros include teaching people to be kind to others, and to help others when needed. If everyone followed your religion (some call it complete ignorance, others call it being a dick), then I would kill myself, because the world would be a bitter husk which supports no life or goodness.[/quote] How does, don't try to force your religion onto other people sound? I don't think you'd appreciate a few Mormons insisting you're going to burn in eternal hellfire just because you're not one of them. I'm an atheist. I have no religion. I already tried to take this whole topic on nicely, and all I get in return is an ignorant little response of "You need Jesus." I'm ignorant of what exactly? Just because I don't need a crutch like religion doesn't make me ignorant. Sure, I am ignorant of many things, astrophysics, psychology, and many other fields.[/quote] First off you are a tad ignorant. Being told you need jesus shouldn't be an insult or offensive in any way. That's like me walking up to a guy and saying you need paul. Because you are atheist you don't believe in jesus and therefore the name should have little to no meaning to you. Calm down everyone is entitled to their opinion if once you have mentioned that religion is bad or a crock that's just as bad as preaching a religions perfection. You have pushed your religion of non religion onto someone else. True religion is there to teach to guide and to give hope. Fanaticism is what is often portrayed and seen because of how extreme it is. Faith and spirituality are not bad merely different from how you choose to live your life, but I would argue if you have morals then you have spirituality and are closer to religion then you realize. You know what I do when a person tells me I need to find Jesus I explain I'm not interested, but I appreciate their effort. Kindness goes a long way wether you are religious or not.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BEAST Athiesm is a alternate made to not believe in god. Darwin in his journal created the religion, because his life got screwed up and he got angry at God.[/quote] What? Please, you're not helping yourself. Athiesm is belief in no god. Not something created up, but just the disbelief of any deity.

Darwin wasn't even a scientist. He made his therory becuase he didn't know of genetics. Now genetics completly contradicts darwin. How many time do you see darwin come up in you biology book (one chapter ? ). Darwin didn't help modern world at all. I need to posy you the sight were I got this info.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BEAST For a fun fact. Did you know darwinism believed in God, but because his life got screwed up he swithced to the daek side. He said in one of his journals that he was the Devils apprentice. I just want you to know that the devil doesn't want you to know about him or God, because if you don't he can try to get you. The Devil works very smart and puts a little lie in truth, which makes it a complete lie. The Devil outsmarts all of us, but somethings are more obvious. [/quote] Your source? And what does Darwin have to do with this at all? Darwin was the pioneer of Evolution, albeit his hypothesis was a bit off. He set the stone for modern biology, and more specifically, genetics.

Halo Relates To The Bible As We Have Figured Out.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Foopaux You already have religion. Atheism is a religion. Atheists are their own god. And [u]atheism[/u] is taught in public schools. Not Christianity. Besides, this no longer has anything to do with the topic. Reported.[/quote] You're so very stupid. Atheists have no god. We don't believe in any deity or anything of that matter. I meant to say Sunday school, but typed in Public for one reason or another. Atheism is not taught in public schools, the separation of Church and State prohibits it. No it doesn't have to do with the topic, but this topic doesn't belong on this forum anyways.

Yeah, how bout them Yankees?

I thought athism was taught in Catholic school?

You don't know what an athiest is. there is a certain kind which he can be classified under, but an "Athiest" merely does not believe in god. They never attack, bash or mock religion though. I am an athiest but i defend religion even.

Well one day you will get saved by something, and when it logically doesn't add up you will start to think you lucked out. Then when you get feeling that you are still alive for a reason its' going to get to you why HE saves.
