Ahhh... that makes sense, yeah sure, I'll give up Halo, since I haven't played the first one for a very long time now.

you shouldnt talk about religion outside of your worshiping place or if youre trying to get someone to convert. you never know who you might offend. also i read the rules, they clearly state that you shouldnt have religious topics.

Texas Ben, I was looking in the code of conduct, terms of use, and I can't find where it says not to talk about religion? Where am I missing it?
I only ask because I really wanted to post here (because it deals with Halo!) and I read that last post-and so I've been searching-but no luck yet.

Use some logic. Even if it wasn't in the terms (which it is), what are the two things that piss people off the most and incite flaming?

Bungie.net is the only website that has been able to hold my interest for such a long period of time, and I can only imagine there are still many years to come.

Lent is a Religous Holiday. It is for Catholics anyways.... But You seem to have forgotten the rules of this forum : No Religous Discussion is Allowed

If we can't talk about lent due to religion, does that mean that all those posts on Christmas should have been locked?

1. I have no idea what lent is.
2. Your explanation blows.
3. Is it religous or something? By the look of it, it is. So no.

X-mas is more a shopping holiday today then a religius one. I'll stay brief and say alot of religiuns celebrate it because the parents don't want their kids to be left out.
