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.

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.
