In Response To: Re: Bungie Explaining Real Bible? (Zk315)

: I don't understand how adding Biblical elements would make a story more
: credible (which a science fiction story doesn't need the Bible to make it
: credible, all it needs an original plot and good twists) or make it more
: realistic (which would, in fact, do the opposite of making it more
: realistic with the Bible's walking on water, raising the dead, and turning
: water into wine).

: So far, all the Biblical connections proposed have esentially been shown to
: be false because they are too far streched to make any sense (I'm talking
: about the verse, "God made a Covenant with man that he would never
: the flood again." Some say that must be where Bungie got it from, but
: I say, "All you did was find the three words in the same sentence; it
: doesn't actually suggest any connection with the Bible because the
: Covenant have only tried to kill humans." All it is is jumpiing at
: shadows.) Another example would be the Revelation 11:7 reference (Since it
: was written by John, this book was chosen to cite as the Biblical
: eonnection and the game. But, the far more likely explanation is that John
: and 117 came from Starhammer.)

: Anyway, what I've been trying to get at is that the Biblical connection has
: been much explored, but it just doesn't seem to fit with the game. I
: wouldn't cross your fingures that there's a Bilican Template.

Oh Brother.
