[on the topic of online evangelism]
I'm sorta the same way LucciusJulius when I'm playing Halo on X-Box live, a great ice breaker to talk about my faith is to say: "You know Master Cheif isn't the only one who gave his life to save humanity."

Troglodyte says: Dem onleen war games is fer pussies an dem long-haired hippies. Not us manly men! We fight reel wars! Wiv reel blood n gunz!
Rot says: Master Chief is not real. Neither is Jesus. So I guess you two have something in common.
"You know Master Cheif isn't the only one who gave his life to save humanity."
Quite right, so let's pause a moment and give thanks...

...to Harry Stamper, Oscar Choi, Max Lennert, Freddy Noonan and those other brave, brave heroes!
@ David B. Nice, thank you.
I'm not a gamer, but can't you put someone on ignore?
You're right. In fact, there's a large number of heroic men and women have sacrificed their lives in an effort to defend our freedom from those whom would like to take it from us. An example of said freedom being freedom of and from religion.
Take it somewhere else. A video game is neither the place nor the time for this.

I've played on Live now and again and I'm pretty sure saying such a moronic thing isn't such a hot idea. Particularly in an FPS.
Hmm, let's attempt to follow JoeGForce's 'logic' to its conclusion:
Jesus gave his life to save humanity.
Master Chief gave his life to save humanity (well, that's what JoeGForce seems to think, at any rate).
Samus Aran can kick Master Chief's ass (hey, just please go along with me if you don't agree).
Therefore, Samus can kick Jesus' ass.
Intriguing.
Tis a breach of etiquette to speak of STAR WARS when one watches Star Trek .
Don't stick another fantasy into the middle of the fantasy in progress, knave. It hurts the groove. Kthnx.
Yup. There's also Aerith, Tidus, Ramza....
But videogame jokes aside, I'm suddenly glad that I don't own an X-Box.
There are a few problems with your statement.
1. You spelled 'Chief' incorrectly.
2. Master Chief didn't die. Try watching to the end of the credits next time, genius.
3. Master Chief is fictional, and this analogy pretty much begs the listener to point that out.
4. Master Chief was successful, as evidenced by the fact that - within the Halo universe - all life in the galaxy was not wiped out. Jesus was not successful, as evidenced by the fact that billions of people are, by your definition, burning in Hell. Bummer.
5. Technically, Jesus didn't die either. I always figured that the whole concept of the Resurrection cheapened the idea of Jesus 'dying for our sins' in the first place, but whatever.
This guy isn't particularly fundy, he's just really irritating. Probably harmless, but come on; nobody wants to hear that sort of thing while they're trying to enjoy themselves. Stick to a Christian chatroom.
What everyone else said, plus, no, it's really not a great ice breaker. That's about the most awkward thing you can say to somebody you've just met. Effectively: "I may only have known you over five minutes of minimal conversation, but I feel comfortable enough to question your faith and relationship with God, which cannot possibly be any better than mine."
Ass.
And they will reply, "well, it's a fictional character, we're not believing it as Gospel(no pun intended)". Man, they go there to play.
Dammit, if there's one thing I hate more than fundies, it's people who spoil endings!
Fundies giving away the ending of a game I haven't played yet as part of an attempt to get me to believe in their skydaddy may just be the most annoying thing I've ever encountered.
Not this specific guy, but I saw a guy like this in an online FPS once. He was my teammate and friendly fire was turned off, but I marked his position with a smoke grenade for enemy fighters to see. He yelled "Religious persecution!"
If I ever played with this guy (which is fairly improbable as I don't own an XBox,) I'd most likely go "Uhm... yeah, that Neo guy did that, didn't he?"
And for the record: Samus PWNS master chief, end of story xD
And now, an announcement from an old veteran...
ATTENTION LOSERS!!!
Whenever you are playing
on the Internet, if you
talk, it will be about
the Campaign!!
We, the warriors of
this age, have accomplished
more in one average
life-span than any God
has ever done!!
We have defeated ninjas,
zombies(both viral and
undead), Vikings,
Spartans, werewolves,
stormtroopers, Nazis,
vampires, demons,
the Old Ones, and
even Samurai!!
What "god" can claim all that?
Either show me His stats, or shut up!!
VIOLATORS SHALL BE DESTROYED AND
DISMEMBERED BY I, GRIMM THE DESTROYER!!!
By the way, ANTI ATHEISM, cap locks fail.
And since everything you said was retarded
in the extreme, so do you(fail).
Loser.
Except that:
1) The Master Chief was never given the choice, since he was kidnapped at age 6 and turned into a weapon.
2) In canon, the Master Chief is alive at the end of all 3 Halo games (ODST is a midquel. Halo Wars and Halo Reach are prequels, but both feature Spartan IIs.)

And on a past anime forum I was on, a great way of being banned by the admin/mods was to evangelise in forum posts/PMs.
Three letters: T. O. S.

So easy, even a baby understands.
Master Chief is just as real as god, you know ?
Also, he is much more badass.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
