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 RepliesI don't think there's anything inherently "good" about light, nor is there anything inherently "bad" about darkness. I'm of the opinion that all of it is interactions between different forms of exotic matter. The particles that make up the "light" are probably differentiated by them emitting photons. There's a warlock bond that splits quarks. An armband has more capabilities than the LHC. There's really no way that could happen beyond weird interactions between exotic matter. If you can shrink the LHC down to an armband, and there isn't any fanfare, why not create other synthesizers? Why not implant tiny light synthesizers in people, and use them as weapons? Putting a brain behind the use of exotic matter to eliminate your enemies? Honestly, there's probably less difference between the light and the darkness than anyone realized. Sunbreakers (the class) are created when a Titan messes around with the Forge, a particular Vex construct on Mercury. Why are the Vex experimenting with altering light? More importantly, why are the Vex minds able to be used and comprehended by humans (well, technically, human simulations, but perfectly accurate human simulations)? Are they actually a futuristic human creation? (There's a lot more I could say about that. No time to explain.) But, getting all the way back to the topic, its very possible that there are Bible analogs. Most English fiction has at least one of three intellectual ancestors: The Bible, Shakespeare, or the Iliad/Odyssey.

Well you're in for a rude awakening because if it weren't for RSPN then the traveler would have left us to die and could be evil

8 RepliesFail. Quit asking for hate dude. This is BEGGING for it. Plus the traveler an speaker are both tremendously suspect as the ultimate evil who -blam!-ed up the hive and pissed off every other race in the Galaxy. They're just using us, but we're not quite to that point in the story yet. You've made some super basic observations and not done any homework at all. You're basically comparing god and jesus to the devil.

Edited by Salvatoretrip: 10/12/2015 11:48:55 PMFeel like this is bait, but I'll bite , for fun He kinda is right, but it's more related to Islam, like the traveler is Allah , and we are his jihad soldiers , fighting to rid the universe of infidel alien races . No I totally understand . [spoiler]really a joke; I am no way connected to any legal towel head stuff [/spoiler] You can compare it to any religion. In his defense Bungie does like the number 7, and 7 is used a lot in the bible

2 RepliesEdited by Golbez: 10/12/2015 11:48:21 PMTo be honest. If you try reaaaal hard enough, you can form a connector between things that have no correlation with each other. The dog breathes; I breathe; the dog is I And that's called reaching, little one.

1 ReplyThere [i]are[/i] certain parallels to religion, but I feel like those sorts of ideas are not so deliberate, but simply ingrained into our culture.

1 ReplyI really like this relation that you have formed between them, but when you think about to any good vs evil situation can be related to the bible.

1 ReplyI'm am not Christian at all but there are lots of similarities between religion and Bungie games in general. Read the grimoire! I don't want to go through the comments because I'm sure I'll see some really disrespectful stuff. I, for one, respect and admire all religions even though I don't align myself with any.

1 ReplyThe traveler didn't sacrifice himself ,when the hive attacked the fallen centuries ago the travelers rune way and leave then to die ,and he tried to do the same thing with us when the darkness arrived ,but Rasputin trowed a anti matter bomb on the traveller so he couldn't run away ,and that bomb was the collapse not the darkness The darkness arrive is not the same thing as the collapse
-
3 RepliesThe traveler didn't sacrafice anything. He tried to leave when the darkness came. Rasputin shot him and prevented him from leaving and the Traveler made ghosts to resurrect guardians to protect him.
-
1 ReplyIt is apparent to me that the game themes are derived from many religions. Ancient Egypt, Nordic, Christianity, etc.

2 RepliesSo then what about Rasputin? He's the one who crippled the traveler.

4 RepliesEdited by Squirrels, Kell of Acorns: 10/12/2015 11:32:48 PMWe don't know the whole of the story yet. The Traveller may not be as inherently "good" as we are led to believe. Humanities savior looks closer to being Rasputin and the AI willingly had no problem letting a large number of humanity die for to save a few. We also know that the Traveller had some connection to the Fallen and then were abandoned by the Machine God and replaced by Servitors. Are there similarities? Sure, it's hard to have anything created in the Judeo-Christian Western world not have concepts that can be compared but I'm not sure this is a complete perfect allusion to Christianity. I'm really fond of folklore and religious studies, especially how they shape the "literature" of cultures they inhabit, so it's an interesting discussion.

Edited by TheBeanMan00: 10/12/2015 11:23:43 PMDestiny draws from multiple religions and has aspects of several beliefs. Based on what we currently know yes it has a lot of similarities with the bible but the traveler could be evil who knows.
