I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...
*Slap*
The forerunners made the rings, and their point is to wipe out all multi-cellular life in the galaxy, so that the flood has no means by which to spread, and eventually dies out. The rings have already been activated once, but have obviously not done a very good job...the Halo's are also meant to contain and study the flood.
The Covenant believe the forerunner's to be god's, most likely because it is the forerunner's technology that has led to every major advance in Covenant history. The Covenant are not to smart by themselves. If they had not found the forerunner technology, they'd most likely still be living in the dark ages without electricity on their home planets. THe Halo's are viewed as some of the most sacred relics left ehind by the forerunners.
The Covenant either didn't know, or refused to believe that the flood (which in Halo is the equivalint of sin) could be found in one of them mst holy artifacts in the universe. Upon their discovery on Halo, the Covenant's religious basis has been shaken to the core...
