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.

1 ReplyIt also has ties with Hinduism, Buddhism, Old Norse mythology, Roman history, etc. If you can't see more than one connection, especially the bible, you need to educate yourself. Odin bless you.

I mean, as much as I would [i]really[/i] like to believe this, destiny kinda has a stereotypical storyline. A lot of stories have these similarities

Edited by Tysolas: 10/13/2015 4:37:31 PMYes, but the bible and Destiny are both fairly generic Good vs. Evil stories. The judeo-christian myths were preceeded by Zoroastrianism, and Destiny draws on other games, like Dark Souls, plus sci-fi and fantasy literature. Wouldn't the Speaker be more like the Pope?

1 ReplyIsn't the Key of Gnashing Teeth a reference to what the wealthy man said his servant that buried the money instead of increasing it? I think it was from the book of Matthew

Here's the thing: The Bible is one of, if not the best selling books of all time. It is studied not just in a religious context, but also from a literary perspective. The stories are well known, and many of them follow the form of classical literature. It's possibly the single most used source of inspiration in storytelling. There are elements of it EVERYWHERE. You're reading too far into it. Those of you who don't like his idea as a whole, and think that the Bible and elements thereof need to stay out of your favorite things: You better stop liking things. It's everywhere.
