They're Ninjas. And they work for the Pope. :spoooooky:

In (some semblance of) seriousness, "Super Secret Papal Ninjas" are something I thought of when I was watching a Discovery special on the Swiss Guard. They're actually a combination of SpecOps force and Secret Service - and since their primary job is to guard the Pope...

At any rate, there needs to be Super Secret Papal Ninjas in a video game. I imagine them throwing crucifix-shaped shuriken.

At first I heard the term "Papal Ninjas", I thought of the Inquisition. But they're more akin to the Papal KGB than anything else.

I picked Christianity, because movies about angels and demons are somewhat cool (eg. prophecy, demon knight, etc, etc). When the priest dude smites a vampire with a cross that's kinda cool too, and a vampire movie wouldn't be the same w/o it. I find that sort of Christian myth entertaining and interesting, the same way I find greek myth interesting.

How dare one call the glorious Orthodox cathedrals and their bastard children Muslim! EASTERN EMPIRE FOREVER!

I voted Christianity. :D

(I also like the Orthodox cross...that crooked bar makes it unique IMO)
Islam thanks you for your efforts, it made our later conquest of everything you fought to retake and defend much easier.
Precisely, Islam got the crap beaten out of it for six-hundred years by the same people! EASTERN EMPIRE FOREVER! It took the help of some Venetian idiots to conquer Constantinople.

NOt even maurading Christians kicked them out of the middle east. They did lose Israel, but they still have the rest of the middle east, the land their ancestors llived in MANY many generations ago, thats cool.

Islam is more cool; with Islam you can have the Christian mythic stuff in the background-- Islam has angels and devils too, but also genies! And the Assassin Cult would whup ass on Papal Ninjas... you also get a batch of devoted followers willing to (effectively) use kamikaze attacks, and Paradise for the Muslims is soooo much better.

Christianity: Robes, harps, clouds.
Islam: Oasis with food and 70 beautiful virgins.

Harems, Arabian Nights, magic lamps, etc, are better than Popemobiles and guilt-laden repentance. Although the Christians have a distinct advantage with the alcohol issue...
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."

In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

But not ninjas.

BULLSHIT! Nobody, and I meannobodycan beat a ninja. Ninjas are, for all intents and purposes, living and breathing mini-versions of God Himself!

A ninja would cut those Muslim spirits fucking heads off. Ninjas transcend all boundries.
Christianity: Robes, harps, clouds.
NINJAS!
Islam: Oasis with food and 70 beautiful virgins.
Ninjas could easily raid a nearby Islam harem and steal all their food and virgins!Even in the netherworld, they are watching...
Harems, Arabian Nights, magic lamps, etc, are better than Popemobiles and guilt-laden repentance.
Ninjas are better than all of the above.

And ninjas.

Islam can sentence you to death if they even THINK you're mocking their religion.

The worst Christianity can do to you if they think you're mocking their religion is call you obscene.

They're secretly dispensing ninja assasins to their home. The next day a look-alike of them will begin tending to the duties of the deceased, so as to not arouse suspicions. Then after the old memory-erasing/new memory implanting procedures are finished the person has effectively vanished without a trace...and everyone is none the wiser. :twisted:

If they're virgins then that means that those that follow Islam can't screw them? Then what is the use? Look but don't touch? :)

Actually, some have proposed it translates into seventy crystal raisins. :P Islam is cooler in some aspects because you can't just screm JIHADDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!! while blowing up people for Christianity. But I mean the French bastards with the broadswods have smite the Muslim scum then the Muslims smite the bastards. It'sa cycle.

ottoman mosques are mostly converted byzantine (roman) cathedrals and churches. The remainder are built in the roman archetextural style.
