Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 What is the dominating religion in the Dune novels?Like it is christianity now, but whats in Dune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 The Orange Catholic religion is the "main" religion. There are others like Zensunni. The OC Bible was made from Christianity, Buddhism, and some others that I can't remember. *P.S. Christianity isn't the dominating religion now, but no religion bickering ;)* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 20, 2002 Author Share Posted April 20, 2002 Okey, I will not coment on the christianity thing. But are there christians in Dune, or only OC worsipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inhuien Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I don't think that Herbert makes any direct references to Christianity as we know it now, He does however have members of the Jewish faith in his books, the last couple if memory serves.

nemafakei Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 There was a huge thread on it not so long ago... It's in page 2 or 3 of the list. The first 40 or so posts were useful... the rest started to become a debate on religion, so the main religion thread itself was started.

Nefud Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 That's what I wanted to say...The OCB is: the "Accumulated Book" the religious text produced by the Commission of Ecumenical Translators. It contains elements of most ancient religions, including the Maometh Saari, Mahayana Christianity, Zensunni Catholicism and Buddislamic translations. (this was from the Terminology of the Imperium from Dune) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 There's a whole appendix on religion at the back of Dune anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted April 24, 2002 Author Share Posted April 24, 2002 I have read that Appendix. It explained very much, but not everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 If Dune and the Appendixes weren't enough then what could we do?? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
