O.K., I guess I deserved that Shishka:) I really did just want to debate someone, so I'll go with you:)
I also agree that there is more evidence to support the "Humans are Vile Creatures" theory, and I state that in the begining of this thread. But, part of my arguement is that of course there would be more evidence to support that theory. It is the only side of the Covenant Bungie has exposed us to. I for one, and it really seems that way, refuse to think that the Covenant are this one dimensional. I think that the Covenant alliance system is modeled off of histories alliances, which usually use religion as a front in one way or another. As usual, we humans don't learn from our past history/mistakes, which in this case, the lesson not learned would be blameing everything on religion. What kind of game would Halo be if Bungie told us everything in advance... not a very surprising one. This is why there is such little "indept" info on the Covenant... Bungie doesn't want us to "get it" just yet. I'm not saying in any way that I get it, or that I know Bungie's plans for the Halo storyline. I just think the Covenant are more of a traditional alliance. An alliance setup up in which the leaders (Prophets) create an illusion to keep all the different factions (Covenant species) in line. The illusion in this case would be the forerunner religion. As Madison( I think) wrote many years ago... you can't controll factions, you can only hope to contain the factions effects. Because the Prophets are trying to control all the other Covenant species (factions), there will be some sort of collapse.
Also, I guess I could call into question that you the "moderator", who is apart of Bungie(sort of), stopped in this thread to lend your opinion... which, surprise! surprise!, happens to be the same theory that I am "right now" going to accuse Bungie of putting out there in the first place. I could go on and on, about how it is suspicious that you stepped in and assured ,in a way, the Bungie fans that there is more evidence for the vile human theory. But.... I have no evidence of these things, and I don't want to come off looking like some kid who hates Bungie. So, I'll shut up for now and wait for your response.
P.S.
This wasn't meant to make me look like a raving lunitic who doesn't listen to others opinions. Sorry if I come off like that, but I honestly understand everyones points and I respect them. Everyone is entiltled to their own opinion.. I just like to argue mine:)
