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.

Edited by Schattenjager: 10/13/2015 4:18:52 PMDestiny actually reminds me of what hell would be like if I had to imagine something worse than the lake of fire. An eternal existence from which not even death is an escape, where I have a gun pretty much glued to my hands and as my only entertainment I am pretty much forced to kill multitudes of creatures that, like me, always just re-spawn again. The demons who run the show reside in the tower, laughing into their sleeves as they tell me how special I am and what great accomplishments I've achieved when I know I'm just like a million other sorry souls who have done the exact same shit for the tenth time. Ikora: "Oh no guardian there is a big evil villain *snicker* who is out to destroy all that is good *snicker* you are the only one who can save us! *Pfffffff ahahaha!* " Me: "Why are you laughing?" Ikora: "*Ahem* Oh no it's nothing, just thinking of a joke Cayde told me earlier" Me: "So if I kill him will he be gone and everyone will be saved?" Ikora: "Yes, of course he will *hehe* he totally won't just re-spawn and be right there to trigger the incentive device *ahem* I mean raid gear drops over and over again". Me: "....Really?" Ikora: "Yeees, you can trust me *snicker* have I ever let you down?.... Don't answer that....." Well that might be the conversation I would have if I could talk... but Guardians are all mute so I can't even tell Ikora to go -blam!- herself before I inevitably just go out to shoot immortal aliens in the face over and over again. Best I can do is give her a little dance like a good little guardian.
