		The weapon on halo could have always been there, pehaps to protect the installation- it doesnt have to be fired 25000 light years (343GS says the pulses maximum range is 25000) or developed as the forerunners believed that it was the only way to stop the flood.
		Halo may not be a club to beat a specific target over the head with, but it could be something more along the lines of a neutron bomb, which eliminates life but leaves everything else mostly intact.
		Halo's pulse-laser is fired at a fl hole, striking the event horizon and the result is a massive release of lethal radiation.

		Halo 2 was initially intended for release in the Christmas season in 2003 (Microsoft had been recieving pre-orders since January 2003 and a Halo 2 trailer had been released in fall 2002) but it was moved to 2004.
		Although Halo 2 ends in a cliffhanger, I have seen nothing to suggest that they will be making a Halo 3 soon or at all.
		No one at Bungie is in a hurry to do Halo 3 (Joe Staten mentioned not seeing his wife/kid for several weeks at once point trying to finish the game) and Bungie has a lot of other projects to attend to (Phoenix and Myth at the top of the list).

		Many times religious tattoos are done with the conventions that mark them as expressions of the sacred, such as a halo, mandorla, or simply a somber treatment.
		Also, don't be inhibited about choosing a religious tattoo design for the particular sentiment or meaning that it holds, even if you aren't particularly a subscriber to that religion.

		Symbols are intangible--the connection between the symbol and what it represents is abstract-- not something which can be seen, tasted, smelled, touched, or heard.
		Thus man's adoption of abstract symbols for language at the time of Adam proved man's mind could now receive the abstract concept of the invisible reality of God--the invisible Essence who cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched, but Who is only accessible to he highest faculty of man--the conscious intellect.

		Beaudoin's chapter on being "virtually religious," explains how simulated religiousness is both "real" and "unreal." For example, he states that to Gen Xers fashion is as real a spiritual need as their grandparents' daily religious devotions.
		Because it is a way for the person to communicate himself to society, accessories such as a crucifix or a pierced navel are symbols referring to something else, the meaning of which is open to interpretation.
		By turning it into an accessory, Xers highlight the extent to which those who pretend to wear it as a symbol of piety are also wearing it as a fashion statement—they are presenting their religious self-image to others.

		If we say that all religious symbols in the public square should be removed because it offends the sensibilities of atheists or others who do not believe in God then we must, to be consistent, say that the signers of the Declaration of Independence had it wrong.
		The effort to erase religious symbols from the public square is clouded in nice sounding, seemingly logical arguments about how public symbols should be neutral and such but fundamentally it is an argument that repudiates the very foundational beliefs which led to our country's founding.
		The physical shape of a cross is not, in and of itself, a religious symbol.
