In Response To: Re: Prophets know that Humans are Forerunners! (BINARYGOD)


: If Truth and Mercy, at least, didn't believe that some are sent to salvation
: while others are merely eradicated - then I doubt Mercy would have said
: "this time none of you will be left behind!" There is no reason
: to think that humanity wont be left around THIS time unless they know
: that, to some degree, the Halo's kill everything in their path. They might
: just be, as they are rapped up in their BS religion, under the impression
: that worthy ones are sent on the great journey, while the rest are
: destroyed by the Halo's "divine wind." Maybe the prohpets think
: THEY get to go and have used and lied to the rest of the covenant. All I
: know is that Truth, and the Prophets but mostly Truth, comes off as one
: shady mofo.

: Truth has been caught lying during the events of Halo 2 - when he is one his
: way towards the Forerunner space ship that sits as the center of High
: Charity and he is talking over the loud speakers - he says something about
: Mercy being by his side (and he isn't talking figuratively), yet this is
: after he left Mercy to die via the Flood spore, which Tartarus could have
: easily saved him from. That, in and of itself, is very interesting.

: He (including the other Prophets) also had the Arbiter killed, ordered the
: Genocide of the Elite race (yet passed it off as something the Brutes did
: on their own as Half Jaw blames only the Brutes for the genocide and not
: the Prophets too), among other things.

: The prophets are shady, but Truth is the shadiest.

Come to think of it, this reminds me alot of that hint that was given a long time ago "who or what would wear a halo?"

In a way, the prophets could be seeing the forerunners as something like angels and seeing humanity as the fallen angels/demons. just linking the fact that angels wear halos and the forerunner built halos.

However i don't think that the prophet of truth knows the entire story. He may know that halo kills all life and that humans are descended from the forerunners. But he might not know what the forerunners plans were, and may be under the belief that halo causes a judgment day that leads the worthy to salvation and that humans must be the fallen unworthy forerunners.

according to my theory, if thats what your going by, The humans are in truth the forerunners salvation and reclaimers. They are the only survivors of the galaxtic massacure of defeating the flood.

In the end this would still allow the prophets to be under the influence of a religious belief (somewhat different from the rest of the covenant) and not just so evil villian doing evil for the sack of evil.
