Destiny and the Bible
I have seen apparent similarities between Destiny and the Bible in general. For example:
The collapse is like the Fall of Man. The Guardians are like Christians fighting sin. The Speaker is like the Bible itself, since he is sort of like the Traveler's word, and the Bible is God's word. Also, with TTK's recent release, the Darkness closes in, but the Light fights back and wins, which is like Jesus' return. The different factions are like different theological views.
If you do not believe in Jesus, God, or that the Bible is true, please be respectful and do not post hateful comments and just make a fool of yourself. Believe what you want.
I also realize that this doesn't completely align with Destiny's lore, and you need to understand that I am making this understandable for the average Destiny player.
Have a nice day and God bless you.

2 RepliesThe "Fall" was old testament, not New testament. The Guardians are like Muslims fighting unbelief. The speaker is like the Mohammed, the prophet of Allah. TTKs recent release is like the people of Mecca rounding on Mohammed before he goes to Medina. The light versus the dark is a persistent theme in many of the world religions, not to mention intellectual movements which compare the "light" of reason to the "darkness" of ignorance. Most movements have a prophetic figure and adherents who struggle against the prevailing intellectual/religious moment. If you are immersed in Christianity, you will likely notice the alignment with your own world view. If you are not you might notice a lot of other alignments as well as the many, many points at which the comparison fails.
