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?

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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

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

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

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

    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.

    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*

    Did anybody find it odd that Irene said becoming a walker was unchristian and they were satanic but then she wanted to/did kill herself??

    She's taking the elevator to the ground floor!

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

    And for future reference

    I hear ya, Cap. I had what I thought was a great post explaining the reasons behind our having only limited decisions. In less than 1 minute it got moved and buried in the limited choices thread. *sigh* Mods and their movin' stuffs. Sheesh. (Don't any Mods get yur panties inna wad. I'm just goofin'!;))

    Hey, perhaps we can get one to rename the Ep 2 predictions thread to include anything after it too. Something like, "Episode 2 Predictions.. and beyond!!":D ...or something... hehe

    probably be better just to have an individual episode discussion that way people know whats in that thread otherwise we could confuse people with future episodes and if they all in one things could bet messy and the thread would be VERY long and newcomers may not have the patience to read through 10+ pages

    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.

    '

    mod's merged it :)

    so next time how about using a search for it or just scroll down the thread list ?

    as for your post your not religous you call it the ultimate sin ?

    there are different sides to christianity and ttg didn't really make which party she belonged too.

    yes sucide is bad for the soul but she does say she'd rather do it her self than comeback as one of the satanic creatures aka walkers..

    yeah i reckon anyone would think 'desperate' in a zombie outbreak and then going for maggie...she's a looker but a bit to nutty for me...

    and doing it in a pharmacy shop front hell to the no...

    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.

    I'm not sure what classification I am but I would have {If I had the choice} Escorted Irene back into the room. Let her lay down on the bed. Say a prayer for her put the gun to her head and pull the trigger blowing her brains out then tuck her in and leave.

    As a Baptist Christian for 5 years going I've always been told the ultimate/unforgivable sin is along the lines of saying God does not exist, and never has
