I mean, look at Christianity. "Eternal soul" "live forever in the kingdom of heaven" "and ye shall never perish" and so forth and so on.

I agree...however, Christianity speaks of heaven. HoO disregards the idea of heaven as an "empty [foolish] promise". I don't feel comfortable labeling HoO as a religion, in my mind, religion is normally viewed as a positive thing, going more for the good of humanity. I don't think kidnapping/murder are too good for humanity. In my opinion, HoO is a cult.

All signs point to it being a cult:

brain washing
wearing all white
general CRAZIES!

Just my opinon.

In my theory, her adoptive parents had received her as a baby to raise for the order as a potential candidate, and when the time came and she was found to be the "Chosen One," they had gotten attached to her, as parents do, and couldn't go through with giving her up to be sacrificed.

That could be why the Watchers are so careful around her, and why they all seem not to want to hurt her. She's a prize specimen.

This reminds me a bit of the short story "The Lottery", but in an extended form. Also the movie "The Wicker Man", but in this case <spoilers> I don't think they're really after Daniel or Jonas or Sarah or Taylor.

The Wikipedia article on Human Sacrifice is awful to read, but interesting.

With the idea [and your probably right] that she was discovered to be this special DNA trait holding infant, it raises the question that, if this WAS infact discovered at birth, it's possible that gyneocologists are totally in the Order.
Who is the one that delivers the baby? Who is the one that does all those tests at birth? [the OBGYN]
Ladies...guard your vaginas! [haha!]

Actually, I've worked on a hospital OB-Gyn floor, and in a newborn nursery, and the lab does the tests. The doctor orders them, but it would be theoretically possible for someone in the lab to do a test on a baby without the doctor even knowing, especially if they were in cahoots with a nurse or two.

gotcha...you get my point though. obviously, the hospital [dr.s/nurses..ext] she was born at, is/was HoO affiliated.

Yes, or it could have been a regular hospital that had 1-3 Order employees who were working on this project of testing newborns for the trait.

Or perhaps she was born into the HoO already, but lost those parents and was adopted later (for whatever reason). Then she could have been taken from the hospital straight to whoever does the testing.

Just a random idea, I do not think there is much to it.

Or maybe . . . she wasn't born at all *gasp!*
