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]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dommie13 Halo is a fictional video game made by Bungie creators. It has no connection to real life or biblican views. It is for entertainment.[/quote] You're a noob and you've got three choices: Read the backlog of posts so you can understand WTF is going on, don't post and GTFO, or look like an idiot. Halo, as we have already ascertained, has many references to Christianity and Greek mythology. It also connects to real life a few times in the storyline, and shows a possible outcome for the future of man and technology. Entertainment doesn't have to be like you (mindless). And "biblican" is not a word. It's "biblical."

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dommie13 Halo is a fictional video game made by Bungie creators. It has no connection to real life or biblican views.

To No1 but Some1: That is the problem with most churches: My chuch gets involved with the community and the poor. it is a shame that people let the Third world die, because of greed, but not everybody or every church is that way. At least I'm not. [Edited on 05.06.2008 12:50 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BEAST To No1 But Some1: Dude just leave this topic alon if you don't like it, because everybody else likes it.[/quote] This doesn't belong on the forums. If I can't debate with you on the validity of religion, it doesn't belong here period. Ok, and while I leave it alone because everyone likes it, I might as well let the most of the third world starve right? I mean hey, everyone's doing it. You dimwitted theists all think you're living amiable lives, but really, you're just as bad as any corrupt politician. You may not be the problem (I certainly think your murder-filled book is) but you are no part of the solution.

To Zagwire: I agree with you completly.

[url=http://31337.pl/]This video will help you in identifying yourself[/url][/quote] so you are saying that evrything the OP just stated is a lie and nothing in the world is even remotely connected to the bible. ur an idiot. go wallow in the filth of your pitiful existence

To dommie13: you are just being immature. You are like one of those guys who have a disorder called blindness/mental/blocked all things distoria.

This is a very well thought out post and your very correct Halo relates to the Bible and Christianity in pretty much every aspect of the game. The name of the game for 1 is a huge reference for one. Halo - Ring over Holy figures heads. It is freaking amazing how many idiots are trying to deny the truth must be a bunch of Scientoloists. Anyway I was gonna make something like this but I didn't figure I had enough knowledge to back everything up. none the less this is a great post to show the true insides of the story.

Mods, please close this. Information concerning any religion does not belong here on the forums.

We will always have "nay sayers" and people who don't understand. Thats why we are still arguing (also because peopl aren't reading the whole post, so they just say anything). [Edited on 05.06.2008 12:42 PM PDT]

To anthraxbtbo: Didn't Halo come after the Bible smart one.

I just wanted to tell everybody that this is one of the most interesting posts I have ever read, I enjoyed reading it immensely, sadly though everybody is still arguing, can't everybody just get along? :)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] anthraxbtbo Wow way to go! Religion coming into a [b]shooting[/b] game! Not to notice how the "intelligent" comments all agree with the OP...something different from "intelligence" is going on there. Anyway, you have it all wrong. The bible didn't inspire Halo, Halo inspired the bible. Hence why there is so much killing, deceit, and betrayal in the bible.[/quote] ok......

I also think there were Greek Spartans! There is also a Marathon in Greece! MJOLNIR is also the name of Thor's hammer! There is only one possible conclusion to all of this. BUNGIE MUST HAVE STOLEN IDEAS FROM MYTHOLOGY AND GREEK HISTORY!!! ------------------------------ Indiana Jones uses a lot of stuff from the bible too. What's the big deal?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chaser96818 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheCyberFreak You didn't address any of my points. I'll do you more respect and address your points. 1. You're arrogant. 2. You related the Halo flood to your biblical flood. You related the Halo Flood to sin. Your bible sends the flood in response to sin....why are you trying to back out of your suppositions now. 3. People have evidence of big foot. My daughter has evidence of Ferries. 4. I understand better than you which flood your talking about. I understand your religion better than you do. I understand human archetypes that you don't have the slightest awareness of. 5. WTF are you talking about? You related Jesus because you were desperate to include him in the discussion. Your tie-ins are an after thought and are created out of convenience rather than anything else. Now do me the common respect of addressing my points or concede. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BEAST [/quote] Good points, I stopped posting in this thread due to the amount of Uneducated people tossing around name's in the Bible acting as if they relate to anything. Btw my daughter believes in Ferries also.[/quote] I believe in ferries too. I'm not joking. I seriously believe in ferries. Anyone who doesn't is... weird.

ok so the creator of halo was just readin his bible one day and thought to himself " i should make a sci-fi version of this into a video game." and now we have halo (PS: halo, come on people even the name makes it obvious enough when you think of an angel you think wings and a ___________)

So the Halo story line is based on religion. The halo UNSC vehicles are based on animals, and the halo covenant vehicles are based on dead things. woah....

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mtgo001 I actually gave a speech on this. English class required a persuasive speech, there were several hot girls in the class, and it was May, as such I was going to seek the most abstract topic possible to get laughs and ladies. I got two comments: 100 and WTF? Guess which one was the teacher.[/quote]Yea, nothing gets ladies like comparing a video game to the bible....
