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.

Destiny definitely has philosophy in the game and the whole light vs dark good vs evil thing going on just like most fictional religious books have so I see how you could make that correlation.

1 ReplyThe Speaker is supposed to be the false prophet, and the Travelers the anti-Christ. You were right in saying the Bibles present, but in reality there are many references to Revelations and the other Prophetic books.

This is called an archetypal pattern

15 RepliesI would go through all the evidences disproving your book, seeing how it claims to be 100% true, one false thing it says proves anyone that claims it is completely true is false. Here is one: earth (through carbon dating and other methods) is itself 4.75 billion years old. Not 6,000 Six -blam!-ing thousand. Are you kidding me

1 ReplyI think you would find Destiny is based on numerous aspects of various religions

Though you probably aren't trying to look at the game too closely I can only think of this question to your statement. So Christians are zombies that horde a dead god from the ones that originally had it?
-
It's not exactly a rare type of story. The chosen hero goes on an adventure to help people who're suffering and along the way they grow and make allies and destroy evil.
-
1 ReplyNot the same at all. It's simply the classic good vs evil plot
-
So many nut jobs lol. The bible and god is more of a way to put faith into something. Not faith to believe but to believe in faith. Scientific proof it doesn't exist doesn't mean to try and destroy someone else's belief. Mainly insecure children making obscene and unnecessary comments to boost their esteem. Cool point of view on this bud, good way to give an understanding using destiny lol, odd but cool.

Edited by ChaosForOrder: 10/13/2015 12:10:25 AMI believe but don't see the similarities. There are honestly many more similarities with Christianity and other religions. There are also MANY blatant rip offs that the new and Old Testament have taken from much older religions and belief systems..... Again, I believe but I don't see it with Destiny.
-
4 RepliesHow ironic... It turns out that the Traveller is the evil entity and the Speaker is a false prophet. The Light is actually the destroying element and the Darkness is simply reacting to having their world's destroyed by the Traveler and are seeking revenge. We have been lied to by this false prophet and duped into creating more destruction and suffering with promises of there one day being a most wonderful plain on which to exist when 'The Light Prevails'! Yeah, sounds about right...

Don't try to connect things like this, for yourself or anyone else... If you think that, fine just don't post it, you will get nothing but bad comments. Believe what you want, I'll believe what I want. I won't tell you what you can believe and I expect the same. But in all honesty posts and shit like this is part of what makes Christianity look bad and get mocked...

12 RepliesEdited by Azurai: 10/12/2015 11:53:03 PMYou can find a million parallels between everything if you look hard enough. Although the speaker = the bible is rather accurate, as both are full of crap.
-
With that logic, you can draw parallels with the bible and just about any epic/adventure story.
-
Wow, uh, I didn't expect the comments section to blow up in such a short time...
-
Everything can be compared to religion. These are good similarities though, I'm not trying to criticize 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.
