The crusaders fought for fun, money and prestige, didn't they?
I don't know much about money part (to avoid miscommunication: I mean know as in KNOW and not AGREE). For fun and prestige: I believe so, "in the name of God" was pretty much a pretext/excuse. Yet, they were still fighting, as stated previously, to capture the Holy City. Yet they had overlooked one of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shall not kill." The plan was never well thought out in the terms of something people call "ethics."
Well, had they succefully invaded the land, they could've started taxation and other such lucrative businesses. This is of course in addition to the wealth that can be attained by robbing people on the way. The ethical implications of this are, of course, so obvious that I needn't comment on it.
You know,thay commandment doesn't work in times of war;just look at Moses's attempts to take the promised land himself.
Well, Yahweh was a bit harsh on his fellow gods.

Well lets just agree that we as a human species tend to do stupid things when blindly looking or following for the Answer.
By the way I was not changing the subject from changing the Crusade to Dead space, the topic started on the debate that people sometimes kill for answers. I was trying to prove my point from another story line.

A real good example would be the Dead Space series. The Government took a relic called "The Marker" from it resting place to try to decipher what secrets it held. But when they removed the Marker from it resting place it cause a psychotic release into the population turning them insane to the point where they killed themselves so that their bodies are left for the Virus to take it.
Even after that Government KNEW that when they removed the marker from its resting place is what cause the epidemic and when they KNEW that if they put it back it would stop the virus from spreading. But they still try to keep the Marker for themselves to decipher what the marking on it mean. They killed people who were not infected just because they were in their way.
In short, they Killed for looking for the answer the Marker was hiding. after watching a lot of game plays of the Dead Space series I'm pretty sure there might not be any secrets on the Marker.
Why do you start random words with capital letters?

That's not how English works. Also, you can say that every word he says 'is in context', and isn't just any other word.
Or "Killed" and "Government" - I don't see why those would start with capital letters.
By the way, you should use spaces after commas.

Yes that true, but...
couldn't find it to quote but someone on this Forum or the Old Forum said that this Forum is not our teacher from school. Basically saying that we aren't being judge on what we type in this Forum.
My idea of how I type is going to look different to those outside the U.S. They won't notices.

I too am eager to know what this answer that everyone is so head-over-heels for is.

I think he's talking about the well-known South African hip hop group.

Well, I can't tell you. Its not that I won't, its because the Understanding of the Universe I know can't be told, or described. Due to the Fact that the Answer can't be worded because there are no known Words on Earth that can speak the Answer in its absolute Truth.
The only way it can be understood is in the Human Mind. But it will only be understood depending on how free your Mind is. I am completely without Boarders. My previous Post on this Thread will help you guide your Mind if you really READ it.

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. What is the question that is being asked that begets the big special Answer?

Do you men the song? If you can understand it in your head, then you should be able to paraphrase. That would be especially helpful, since I'm not getting it and naturally the inner machinations of your mind are an enigma.
