Offensive content in the Septics Perfected Strike, the jab at "In God We Trust"
I just wanted to point out (though I think that the devs know it already) that it seems you guys tried to take a jab at the phrase "in God we Trust" in the septics perfected strike (dialogue right before the fight at the end of the strike). Not only that, but also a jab at the idea that "all things are possible with God."
Now, I understand everyone is going to think "man you are sensitive," but honestly I find it offensive and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Believe me, this sort of thing would not be here if those phrases were Islamic or Hindu in origin, or of any other religion. And if Bungie took a jab at Islam they would hear about it (I don't mean a violent response, in case you thought that). What's up with this? Yes I am a Catholic, and yes I am offended. Does that matter to you guys at Bungie? Consider removing that particular bit of dialogue please, it seems off color and unnecessary, and the fallen are not doing anything like either of those things I mentioned above.

Edited by BattleCry1986: 6/12/2017 8:01:49 PM@CATH0LICS0LDIER You're saying it's offensive to use the phrase, “In siva we trust” because it's a reference to what? Christianity? Now are you ready for a history lesson? First of all, "In God we trust", is not a Christian saying. It is an American phrase that Dwight Eisenhower officially declared as the United States official motto as a way to differentiate the United States from the Soviet Union. He was a very popular President, and wasn't the first person to use the phrase in conjunction with the idea of freedom. That happened in 1812 when the Star-Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key. Maybe you didn’t know this, but before it was even a country many people came to America seeking religious freedom. This has been something that the United States has been proud of for Decades appearing all over the government. Right or Wrong, the phrase “In God we trust” has little to do with any particular religion, and much more to do with the country. You know something else? The phrase is actually pretty neutrally written as far as religion goes. This is probably why it was chosen as the American motto. The word “God” is vague, it doesn’t exclude the Islamic or Hindu religions as you said. The only people it excludes is the Atheists. Even at that, the phrase is still a statement of fact from the 1800’s perspective So, no. This isn't some shot at your religion. It isn’t offensive… Unless referencing American History is offensive. ...Or, unless you consider the use of the word “God” offensive? Even if you do, Destiny never references God with a capital "G", you know the creator of the universe. Destiny puts heavy focus on the little "g" god, as in a super powerful being. It's semantics.
