Glad to see I wasn't the only one who found that odd. lol

Edit: Would have made more sense had she requested Lee to kill her. I would have done it for her too.

[Sandman77]

aye

[BlankCanvasDJ]

Not all Christians consider suicide to be a mortal sin - especially in extreme circumstances. Even the idea of a mortal sin is mostly a Catholic thing. Besides, even if she did think it was a sin, she thought the zombies were literally satanic so she was choosing the lesser of the two evils.

She does make that request if you make the correct choices. Normal Christianity fluctuates in a matter of grey area. There are a lot of them that don't believe that suicide is a sin or at least that it is unforgiveable.

Personally I don't mind being undead one bit. Get it? Bit.

Yeah... We get it :rolleyes: lol

[CapnJay]

How do you get to kill her yourself so she doesn't commit the sin of suicide?

[toogapaten]

i kinda thought it was a poke at how hypocritical Christians can be sometimes

[CapnJay]

I feel bad for her I wish i could have shot her so she could die clear of conscience although assisted suicide is still suicide

[WabbitTwaks]

although assisted suicide is still suicide
So, I guess it really is the thought that counts, huh? lol

[CapnJay]

So, I guess it really is the thought that counts, huh? lol

Yeah... Still i'd rather shoot her then have her die of suicide.

[CapnJay]

ok replayed it again there is no way to do the deed yourself

Because Christians are the only people who are ever hypocritical... :rolleyes:

I just love how Glenn responds : You have a boyfriend ? (disapointed look) LOL

[vaeiou]

Yeah, I caught onto that. I guess that part of Glenn conforms with the graphic novel where he's slightly desperate for women.

[zenstrata]

She obviously didn't pray enough or the zombie apocalypse would never have happened.

[Magic Emperor]

I also found it odd how an adult woman had zero knowledge about batteries. And "I can't reach for that brick" was a huge stretch for me, too...

[divisionten]

I also found it odd how an adult woman had zero knowledge about batteries. And "I can't reach for that brick" was a huge stretch for me, too...

Brick was larger than holes in the metal grate. He could reach it, but it certainly couldn't have been pulled through. And I've gotten one of my hands stuck in those things. Painful and difficult to get out. A saw was required. Nobody would want to risk that.

[Magic Emperor]

Really? I'd have to play again, because I don't remember the brick being larger than the hole. But if that's the case, my mistake.

... The batteries, though, is still a valid criticism. *cough*

Well she thought zombies were satanic, while suicide is just a sin. That is probably why.

[engeldestodes]

Don't remember her name, but I distinctly remember her saying, "Being one of those things, It's not Christian."

How can she say this while simultaneously asking you to give her a gun to commit the 'ultimate sin' ?

Always bothered me since the first play through. Maybe get a more well versed writing staff?

I'm not religious, just seems really odd. :confused:

There's not really an explanation, but I guess maybe to her it's better than turning into a zombie.

You're correct. I was too lazy, but alas, the common forum browser. As for the 'ultimate sin' comment, I've been surrounded by practicing Christians my whole life, and that's all I ever heard it was. But I'll leave it to the scholar I guess. Still, just confusing dialogue IMO if she's claiming to be Christian.

If you are religious and commit suicide you go to hell because of the pain you cause everyone else...so yeah if she believed in hell, she's there hahahahahaha

Hell is so lovely this time of year, the rivers of lava in full flow, the shades floating by carelessly, satan on his mountain of skulls, ahhhh heavenly

On that subject, we share the same elements of which are found across the universe(not all of them though) therefore we are birthed from the universe, due to creation (living or material) can only occur using those same elements (be it carbon for humans or sodium and chlorine for salt) so are we the universe given conscience due to the fact we are the universe and the universe is us.

No never been there was taught in school that if you believe in Heaven and Hell then you must believe in purgatory. if killing someone sends you to hell and living a good christian life you go to heaven then those that do not murder but do commit sins will go to purgatory. Killing yourself is a mortal sin so you go to purgatory. also taught that god is forgiving.

[ADavidson]

King Saul killed himself, and although he was rebellious towards the end and did some bad things, was still God's anointed King of Israel. David refused to kill him when he had chances, and even had a soldier slain that claimed to have killed him(He thought boasting of it would gain him favor with David's "enemy") because it was God's chosen King. And yet, it is fairly widely believed that Saul will be resurrected. Of course, if he hadn't killed himself, he would have been raped and killed slowly by the Phillistines.

Romans 6:23 says the Wages sin pays is death. Basically, when you die, your sins are forgiven. We all have a chance to atone for such sins in the resurrection. Nowhere in the Bible is hellfire, eternal torture and punishment supported. What kind of God would do that to people? Not mine.

Sorry, I don't wanna get too far in a religious discussion on here, some people don't like it and I don't wanna get banned lol PM me if wanted, I've studied hebrew and greek scripture for 15yrs pretty in-depth. So many lies in so many churches today, mostly to keep members paying them money, "Tickling their ears" so to speak.

[CapnJay]

Well when talking about religion all i have to say is this. God told Moses to take revenge on the midianites Moses told his men to rape the virgins and kill the men and non virgins. Is moses in heaven?


But this is about poor Irene

[ADavidson]

Sorry, God never told his people to RAPE anyone. They were to take vengeance, kill men women and children as humanely as possible, BECAUSE of the midianite women seducing many of the men of Israel.

Also, no Moses is not in heaven. Noone before Christ died is in heaven, they have an earthly resurrection hope. Only a chosen number of people go to heaven at all, and it is to "Rule as kings and priests over the earth"(Rev 5:10)

Psalm 37:10,11,29 says the meek will inherit the earth and reside forever upon it. God's purpose when he created Adam and Eve was for them to live forever in the garden of Eden, expanding that garden over the whole earth. Until Satan through a wrench in things. That doesn't mean God's purpose changed, that's why Jesus came to earth as ransom sacrifice, for all sins to be forgiven upon death.

Study it enough, and it all makes sense lol

You're drawing me further into this discussion ;op

[CapnJay]

So Moses took some Liberties with Gods Commands. wouldn't be the last time someone twisted the word of god for their own desires

[ADavidson]

lol it's so true that so many do that. I believe the Bible was inspired by God himself and the truth is in it, so I still don't think Moses or the nation of Israel did that. They did do a LOT of bad things but those are actually recorded in the Bible. Eventually they lost their favor as a nation because of rejecting their own messiah.

Today tho for sure. Wars fought, plenty of rape/child abuse/money taken all in the name of religion. Sickening, and I can see why a lot of people want nothing to do with "Christianity", AND why so many people don't believe in God. It's sad but understandable.

[CapnJay]

God himself in the bible if portrayed as an entity whose concept of time is massive to ours so technically when comparing old and new testament you can say BiPolar people are created in gods image :)

[Duck Zombie]

Do you think that those horrors are committed more today than in the past when religion was more prevalent in society?

[CapnJay]

Do you think that those horrors are committed more today than in the past when religion was more prevalent in society?

In the past 40 percent of children were sexually abused by their family or others. 5 percent of society knew about it. today 40 percent of children are sexually abused 90 percent of society know about it. The statistics on the abuse haven't changed we're just more aware now.

[ADavidson]

I think mainstream religion as a whole has always been corrupt, but there have always been true followers who actually delve into the scriptures, find the truth, and follow what God says they should do. The problem is when you put power into one persons' hands. When one person in a religion tells everyone else "what the Bible says" and they stop actually studying it for themselves. That is why we have thousands of different so-called "Christian" religions. If they all actually studied the Bible, looked up the meaning of the original words used, translated based on context and cross-referencing, and followed what they found, we would only have one religion. But people are lazy, just looking for an easy way out(Or in lol) so they go to church on Sunday, pay some money to be told what they want to hear, then go out drinking and fornicating the rest of the week.

I'm not judging anyone, in fact I don't even expect to be passed through apocalypse if I'm alive when it happens. I just see the world for what it is. Ever since the death of Jesus and the apostles, organized Christianity has split, taken on false doctrines and false worship/worship of idols and images, and deviated from the path.

[Duck Zombie]

In the past 40 percent of children were sexually abused by their family or others. 5 percent of society knew about it. today 40 percent of children are sexually abused 90 percent of society know about it. The statistics on the abuse haven't changed we're just more aware now.

So because we're more connected with information in this era our faith takes a hit when we hear of all the tragedies, but we also get to learn about people who inspire so why doesn't it average out? Why do the bad things seem to have more power to turn people away than good has to draw them closer?

WW2 is the last time the major world stood together, and I kinda feel like Winston Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt were the last great leaders; society slowly lost faith after them. Great men who could inspire faith

[Merc]

WW2 is the last time the major world stood together, and I kinda feel like Winston Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt were the last great leaders; society slowly lost faith after them. Great men who could inspire faith

I wouldn't say that. I've always respected Truman. He made one of the toughest calls someone could make in the presidency, and held himself accountable on his actions.

Granted, that was still in WW2, but if you look around, you can find quite a few inspirational people even now to rally behind- great men that can inspire great deeds. It's just a matter of searching.

[FriarDawg]

The problem about talking religion is that religion is not a God made concept, it is a man made concept. The word religion come from the Latin meaning to bind back or to bind up. Essentially is man's attempt to bind themselves to God. The Bible teaches that it is God that pursued people through Jesus Christ. The Old and the New Testament both point to Jesus being the fulfillment of God's plan to bring people into a relationship with Him.

People do all kinds of crazy things in the name of religion, so it is a good thing that following Christ in not about religion.

[ADavidson]

+1 So true FriarDawg

Of course, the New Testament also says not to "forsake the gathering of ourselves together", that is, our spiritual brothers and sisters as God's children. So we're encouraged to meet together to encourage each other and make each other better ministers of Christ. Essentially what the world views as a "Religion". In the Old Testament God had the nation of Israel as his people, and those who didn't follow him as he saw fit were cut off. In Jesus' day the Jewish nation rejected Jesus as messiah, so the nation lost God's favor. Now people of all nations are called to God to be his people, but His standards haven't changed. Those not living how he wants them to will again be cut off. I think we can use all the encouragement and help building up the fruitages of the spirit we can get. You're right again tho, it isn't about Christendom, it's about knowing the truth of the Bible and living how God and Jesus would have us live. Definitely takes an in-depth study of the Bible to do so, hence the need for meeting in groups to study, not just to pay a church to tell us we're going to heaven no matter what then go about our business.

Religious people are crazy... And retarded.

[JonathanEFearn]

Anyone else find it kind of ironic that Irene didn't want to become a zombie because it wasn't 'christian like' but committed suicide?Rules change. In a world where dying just physically harms the one that dies, it is easy to pass negative judgement on those that take their own life because of the emotional damage they inflict on their loved ones.

But in a world where the dead get back up and try to kill the living, it is selfish to not take the necessary steps to prevent reanimation. Any religion or society that doesn't adapt will be eaten.

As an aside, in Mira Grant's Newsflesh Trilogy (Feed, Deadline, and Blackout), the Catholic Church retroactively raised everyone that died to the Rising (or KA Amplification) as a Martyr, especially those that blew their own brains out after having a blood test come up red. The definition of suicide changed. Just killing yourself is suicide, but offing yourself after testing positive wasn't suicide.

[Merc]

I'm not sure if in the situation Suicide would be a bad thing. After all, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

In a scenario where you're bit, you have a chance to inflict something terrible onto other people without even meaning to, if you don't do something. Suicide would be the best option in a theological sense.

[steross1981]

When she shoot herself I said your going to hell like she can even hear me lol

I dont actually think you go to hell for suicide. At least in the catholic religion. Christopher Hitchens speaks about this at one of his debates. He also mentions that fairly recently someone high up in the church stated that Limbo does not exist. It was a mistake or mistranslation or something to that effect, so all the babies that have died unbaptised in the past did not go to Limbo or purgatory( is that the same? im unsure) and all the poor parents that lived their lives believing their child never made it to heaven were wrongly informed.

Dudeeee... one zombie breeds legions of them! :eek:

Remember the walkers outside the pharmacy? Doug said they most of them got infected while they were trying to arm themselves. Which, similarly, explains why Larry was freaked out by the thought that Duck was bitten as well.

Irene must have watched the entire thing unfold first hand, so yes - I think she thinks she's doing humanity a favour.

*is now depressed for some reason*

[Milosuperspesh]

my point is she has met the true death. she was locked away. she has no effect on the outbreak anymore..

where as there are still plenty of other walkers who are free to roam and kill..

[NessaT]

Yeah, I get what you mean. Still, it's the little personal struggles like these that give the episode much depth. It may have little significance on the larger scale of things, but in her world - she faced her monster and killed it.

Her character had an impact on me for that reason.

[Milosuperspesh]

no argument there irene made her choice that was best for her, religion aside..

i too felt moved by her plight i was thinking really ttg are making me choose this ? holy shit they are!

maybe not a good comparison but i'm not a anti gore/violence gamer i have bought and played naughty bear/manhunt and splatter house..and gta n saints row series, but having to choose that was refreshing but also a little messed up..

but ttg are breaking some new ground for them at least...

Since she thought those demonic creatures the walkers have none.

Also leave the whole religion discussion out of this community and game. We are gamers.

[Sunwalker]

Not all Christians consider suicide to be a mortal sin - especially in extreme circumstances. Even the idea of a mortal sin is mostly a Catholic thing. Besides, even if she did think it was a sin, she thought the zombies were literally satanic so she was choosing the lesser of the two evils.

You spoted something important: the concept of lesser evil. When the only choices are bad things, it is not a sin to choose the less bad one.

The source of confusion in this supposed "irony" is that people only usually consider one of the three conditions needed to commit a mortal. Since this concept came arount, I think it is worthy quoting what the Catholic Church says about mortal sins:

1857 For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: "Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent."131

1858 Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments, corresponding to the answer of Jesus to the rich young man: "Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and your mother." The gravity of sins is more or less great: murder is graver than theft. One must also take into account who is wronged: violence against parents is in itself graver than violence against a stranger.

1859 Mortal sin requires full knowledge and complete consent. It presupposes knowledge of the sinful character of the act, of its opposition to God's law. It also implies a consent sufficiently deliberate to be a personal choice. Feigned ignorance and hardness of heart do not diminish, but rather increase, the voluntary character of a sin.

1860 Unintentional ignorance can diminish or even remove the imputability of a grave offense. But no one is deemed to be ignorant of the principles of the moral law, which are written in the conscience of every man. The promptings of feelings and passions can also diminish the voluntary and free character of the offense, as can external pressures or pathological disorders. Sin committed through malice, by deliberate choice of evil, is the gravest.

Also about suicide:

2281 Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. It is gravely contrary to the just love of self. It likewise offends love of neighbor because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we continue to have obligations. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God.

Best regards!
