You should relax a bit. The game has religious ties and hints in it. All people are doing it discovering them and trying to figure out whats going on in Bungies head.
Anyway, very, very well thought out post. An interesting read and it makes a lot of sense :) Try as you might, you never will fugure out what Bungie is thinking. Actually I bet someone has in some terribly worded, grammatically deficient, obscure no name post that everyone dismissed as pure idiocy. 'Cuz dat how we roll, cuz. You dig?
You know, I've really considered that. Sometimes I visit threads with "OMG!" titles. The content sometimes may be rife with mispellings, but I get the feeling that the author knows more than he/she is letting on.

If that is God in the ship (well, you know what I mean), why would he be fighting Cortana?
Probably a similar reason behind Exodus 20:3-4 You shall have no other gods before me. Well, if Cortana can be seen as a god (little "g").
It could be as simple as protecting an important piece of hardware from potentially malevelant software.
It looks like things have settled down, but it never ceases to amaze me.
People just don't want halo to have ties to the Bible.
Either they don't know enough about halo... or the don't know enough about the Bible to make those connections.
Maybe both.
Some may only know just enough, but despise the idea anyway because they don't want to see something the love "polluted" by something they hate.
Along with the interview with Chris Butcher saying halo's story is sort of a Biblical allegory, there is another interview floating around HBO where Marty O'Donnell was asked where the name for "Truth and Reconciliation" came from.
He flat out said "The Bible".
Every time I post these sorts of things, there's always that special someone who can't stand what's being said. But each time they seem angrier and angrier. I take that to mean I'm getting better and better at this.
