Second: I know no one said Halo is the Bible, but people seem to think it is.
Well it isn’t, and anyone who knows the Bible and takes it to heart can tell the difference. What people do talk about are the similarities and the parts that have been added in religious context. Halo is Bungies perception on certain parts of the bible, just as many movies have a take on certain events. Take movies like, Passion of the Christ, Left Behind, and (that new one with Tom Hanks, cant think of it at this time) are Christian movies yes, biblical references yes, but are they the Bible, no. And as these perceptions of biblical scriptures and matters can be entertaining, it is not the Bible in any way. Halo, although a run and gun fps, does have certain plots and references to the bible, some are meaningful, some are not, and at the end of the day is just a game.
So if you are looking for God, I suggest you look elsewhere, because there is no more then a clever good time here. If you would like to actually know some of the similarities, ones that are "more then just coincidence," let me know.
Passion of the Chri-- are you a f***ing moron?! The movie is called the Passion of the Christ!
But it is still just someone’s interpitation. Even a highly religious movie like this is only cheep entertainment in comparison to the Bible, just like anything else that has biblical references. It is not the real thing, people know this. Anyone who doesn’t does not know the Bible. And it is not just Christians making it to have similarities, it isn’t even a question that there in there.
Take Mark 6:27:
27So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head.
Sound familiar, yep? Pointless, yes. Interesting perception, sure.
But to actually pick up on these things, you have to have some knowledge of the Bible, if you do, it adds more to the story making it more entertaining. Halo is set up in a way that it doesn’t piss anyone off, or offend, just entertains everyone from all walks. That’s not an easy thing to do, as you have probably learned by making this thread.
