We are all going to get banned aren't we?

they were created by the precursors for some purpose (slave building race i assume) and it is implied that humanity was created also (we share majority of the same genes and young forerunners look human).


their purpose is to maintain galactic peace, but how they do it doesn't make it seem that way. but they aren't evil.

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

A civilization that ruled the galaxy 10,000 years ago... wait never mind, this is easier...

They follow the 'Mantle' (Bible equivilent?)
There is no canon suggesting the precursers created forerunners (and/or) humans to be a slave race. In fact canon evidence does suggest that not only were precursors 'worshipped' by forerunners but the precursors saw the forerunners as their legacy to continue work after they departed.

Whether they are evil or not is down to your prespective... I'm sure Hitler didnt't believe what he was doing was 'Evil' -yet many people class genocide as so.

Cryptum is canon evidence for all of what i said; and notice i said implied when i talked about humanity, so please read fully.

No it is a fact that they weren't evil. they just acted naturally by wanting to make sure they were top dog, they didn't wipe out humanity even though de-evolving them wasn't kind.
