[color=red]I do not want this to turn into an argument over religion. This is simply a thought that I had because of all the religous aspects of the covenant and how it sort of coincides with the fight aginst terrorism, ie: "the holy war." This is just a poll, not a religous discussion. If anyone is offended in any way please tell me and I will ask one of the mods to close it, if they already havent. I just want to be clear that this isnt a religous discussion or flame party. Please post thoughts.[/color]

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

I doubt it.

No, the Covenant represent mindless and ignorant hate.

I agree with Obbiquiet and ajenteks, but couldnt it be said that the terrorism that we currently deal with embodies both of those traits?

The Covenant religion mirrors militant faith as a whole, not any particular group. It could just as easily parallel Christianity in the late 11th century, at the beginning of the Crusades. Both the Christians of the Middle Ages and Islamic terrorists of today wish to drive the "infidels" from the Holy Land. If the Covies are semi-parodies of this, then can we assume that Earth is some sort of Holy Land to them?

Wars are not fought in the name of Religion. They are always about population.

edit: this is in response to Geronimo.

Yes, we can. The covenant believe that there are artifacts that pertain to their faith on earth, and on Halo, and that is why they intend to wipe the humans off both. But on a side note, I do like the thought that you presented about christianity being the same way. it is something important to remember these days when people tend to categorize islam as an evil religion because of a few extreem ones.

Read the top. We're not discussing religion, just a theory on the covenant.

what do you mean, like: earth = israel and the rest of the middle east = covonent
that might be a similarity there, but the halo universe isn't supposed to symbolize anything. but i think you are on to somthing whith the similaritys
