World Religions

I realized today during class that a table-top game I play, Warhammer 40K, bears a remarkable resemblance to certain figures and events surrounding Christianity. It was funny to realize that like  the Inquisition actually ahppen,and aren’t just the imaginings of some pessimistic nerd coming up with a get rich quick scheme. For example, in 40K, there is an all-seeing organization that roots out heretics and aliens called the Inquisition. This also occured in the Medieval Times, with real inquisitors persecuting what they believed to be heretics. Also, The Crusades of the Catholic church bore a remarkable resemblance to the Black Crusades of Abbadon the Despoiler in 40K. Its funny to look at history and realize just how much influence it has on modern day entertainment. I also noticed elements of Zoroastrianism in a book I recently read, Nightwatch, and elements of Judaism in another element of 40K, the Space Marines.
