Halo 3: Effective Outreach Bait or Not Fit for Church?

What's interesting is that the Halo story is about a man cleaning up after a radical religious cult. The idea of the Covenant itself is a organization that is driven by blind faith. Their ignorant deeds almost cause the destruction of the galaxy and it takes a "normal sensible" man of technology to bring them down. The story itself is a protest against Christians, Muslims, Jews, or any other religious institution.

Do christians really need to depend on this story to show Christ's message? No. That woud be wrong. Instead they need to find another medium...probably one with that doesn't have marines cursing in it, anti- religion undertones, and aliens being blown up from a plasma grenade.

Also....the Master Chief is not comparable to Christ. If people really think that then they are speculating over the material, taking the character out of context, and really just trying to twist the game to serve their own purposes. Do you really think kids won't recognize how hypocritical this whole thing is? That it all seems like a desperation move from chrisitan pastors? Cause I gotta tell you....it does seem that way.
