What Would Master Cheif Do?

I am not particularly religious, but if I were to be interested in attending a church service I would rather attend one at a progressive church. There is something to be said about meeting others half way. Instead of adopting a philosophy of my way or the highway. The game is about competition more then it is blood lust, and to be frank the Bible is one of the most disturbing tales ever written. Can you really take issue with Master Chief when the bible recounts how god murders children, drowns the innocent, and levels cities.

I think its a good mindset these churches are developing. They are connecting with these teenagers, and more to the point they are taking into consideration their motivations. That means they might teach the children something a little gospel never hurt anyone, and maybe just maybe these kids will teach them a little something. Thats called a healthy dialog. Were you to take a lesson away from the story of Halo it would be that over zealous faith can be destructive.

Master Chief is referred to as a demon by the covenant. The arbiter is a character that confronts a false faith. The covenant converts through violence, and adopts a fanatical position on all things. How could this not be relevant in the context of religion.

I am not a religious person, but somehow this approach looks like it will have better results for society then some. After all do you think these kids are going to strap bombs to their chests and blow up market places?

 *claps* well thought out intelligent response and observation on society, the church and the game. WHy can't we have responses like this more often?

That is a specific topic brought up by I think the Church of England.

These are American churches trying to install good morals into kids with video games.

Sure the churches have messed up in the past, a lot, but look at this issue here. The pastors are trying to get kids to play video games so that they can learn about important things, while bonding and learning teamwork.

The fact that you guys are bashing this merely because churches are doing it is a little appalling. I guarentee that if this was a school event, Nightstalker and Montnana hatchet, you wouldnt think twice.

Your statements are kinda foolish and kinda ignorant, reminds me of 5th graders

 Calm down, we're all just joking around. Not everything about religion has to have its responders pestered for every word, does it? 

A little part inside of me thinks that it's a good thing, a big part inside of me thinks that it's quite pathetic. Back in my day (and yes, I'm going to sound like an old man) we didn't have Halo 3. We had boring church, then I'd go to Sunday school while my parents went and ate lunch, usually consisting of subs and Huckleberry Pie. After my class was done, I was lucky to get a sugar cookie.

Can you not take a joke or are you just a religious fanatic?



 

 

I know now what's going to happen at E3 2008 it's not a new XBox we'll see....

the US army in partnership with MS, bungie, and the christian church.... are going to introduce the spartan soldier..... Halo was a massiv propagand campaign from the US gov... teamed with the monopolistic MS corp..... to implement a new era of soldier made to replace the actual US troops in the different actual and future conflict around the planet.... nobody saw that one coming :D



ok before I get flamed... I'm just kidding around.... with a prolific imagination lol
