No, becuase Shepard can be Good or bad depending on how you play the game.

Grunt, Zaeed, Jack, Tali, Garrus, Legion, Miranda, Samara, Thane, Kasumi, Jacob & Mordin. That's 12. If you want to pick apart arguments, at least be right.

I hope not. I'm not a fan of religious symbolism in games.

Altough Christians are still trying

Your nihilism is noted.

Might wanna look up the definition of nihilism.

Jesus rejected Satan's temptation.
Shepard accepted it.

Ha, I love this.

Also Jesus sacrificed himself for humankind.
Shepard sacrificed untold numbers of lives for well...nothing.

No, carpentry isn't listed as either a skill or a class for Shepard.

And today's reading fail goes too...

I had 11 because I didn't pay for Kasumi's DLC

If you didn't have access to the cerberus network you had 10 - No Kasumi, No Zaeed - They were DLC

If you're going to try and be a smart ass, get the "smart" bit down before you try thre "Ass" part.

I love how everyone here manages to effectively bash religion without being provoked in any way. It's fine if you're atheist, but you don't like having our views shoved in your face, why are you doing the same.

Anyway, I suppose it's highly possible. Bioware is Canadian. Christianity is a pretty big deal world-wide. I'm all for a little symbolism here and there, and I fail to see how it effects anything, which is why I don't understand why some people here are so butthurt about it.

Stay classy BSN. Glad to see the good ol' fashion "I'm right and you're wrong" theme still carries true. Seriously, just f*ck you guys.

Don't you remember when Jesus whipped all the merchants away from the temple. That was, clearly, a Renegade Interrupt.

Which dictionary would you like me to use?

Merriam-Webster? Dictionary.com? Hell, even Wikipedia? Each has something that makes what I said completely correct.

Shepard died for our sins?

Jesus died to stop giant space fleas?

I'm not seeing it personally.

Well if you put it like that anything will sound stupid.

How about
Jesus died for our sins and broke the cycle of sin
Shepard died for the Galaxy's sins(They wouldnt listen to his warnings and werent as prepared) and broke the cycles of the Reapers.

I think shepard is symbolic of the writers just finished up Deus Ex, Human Revolutions before getting down to work.

Wait did I say Shepard, I meant the endings.

I really hope that Jesus never pushed anybody out of windows like my Shepard did.

That would imply that sin would stop occurring. By your analogy, the Reapers would still be terrorizing us, just not every 50,000 years and they would only affect us AFTER we died.

Edit: 50,000 to 50,000 years. Forgot the unit of measurement.

Yes but its obvious Bioware wanted to add more squadmates and ran out of time, you cant hide behind the fact that they were DLC.

And in regards to what you said earlier, sure TIM isnt really shepards friend, but they were allies, and in ME3 shepard even says to TIM that he trusted him.

It was a subtle nod in ME1 and ME2... in ME3 it was like a painting they made using a trowel. Not very subtle.

Can we do a poll on which drugs Casey and Mac were on? LSD, weed, crack, etc....

OT I sure hope they weren't going for that. Shepard is a sell out to me the way they have it.

If Jesus' death resulted in simulataneous explosions that kill every living being, why yes.
