Master Chief teams up with... Jesus?

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?
