religion

[Emperor Harkonnen]

So, what kind of religions are there in the dune novels?Are all Christians or are there muslims there too?

If so what religion has House Harkonnen got?

(hope not Islam)

By the way what is buddislamic, and orange catholic bible?

[Sardauker-Kirov]

The Harkonnen has the Atomic Religion... Hailllll the Atomics!!!!  ;D

Isnt that right Gunseng?

[quoudam72]

Frank Herbert had a religious melting pot in the Duniverse. He borrowed from one religion and mixed with another religion most are borrowed from the Native Americans and Eastern influences. As far as Buddhislamic is as it says a variant of the two religions. I am not sure which doctrines are used from either religion to form the central doctrine. I'll let Nema explain the Orange Catholic bible.  :)

[nemafakei]

Damn, how come I get the hard one?

Ok... the Butlerian Jihad necessitated some rethinking of moral values... christians likely stopped fighting among one another and attacked the common enemy, the machine on moral/religious grounds... I guess they found that they had so much in common that after the war they would create a common holy text based on new values they had to adopt during the Jihad. So even the Catholics and the Orangemen, sworn enemies, agreed. We have an OC bible!

Most houses seem to be agnostic or mildly religious with no particular tendancy.

LoL

Haill the Atomics

LoL

I always thought that Atreides were Christians. But it haven`t been wery important there since Paul and Leto bring new religion

[jacobdouds]

The christianity faith, along with almost every other faith, has been abolished. This is 25'000 years in the future after all.

[quoudam72]

What makes you say that Christianity no longer exists? What are you basing it apon?

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Of course Christianity exist, Atreides are probably christians, since Harkonnen seems to be Satan worshipers ;D

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well...

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Merly a joke, Gunseng. Don't get too offended

[jacobdouds]

Saying that the Atreides are Christian just because they are Goo9d and Noble is bean very Religist Thorup. The christians merged with all other religions to make the O.C.B.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

I have always thought the Ordos as atheists...

[TMA_1]

Well it says that the religions completely merged in the DE. The zaeroastrians, christians, eastern philosophy and religion, hindism, islam, zenzunni, unitarians and many more. It gives a list in there. Its really weird.lol

It even talks of hte books in the orange catholic bible. the christian old testament and new testament as well as the apocriphal books as well like the gospel of thomas. The koran, Then the zaeroastrian book and the veda as well as confusionist writings and zenzunni books. a lot more then that:)

[jacobdouds]

We are not aethiasts, our god is the solaris. $ $ $ $

Lot's and lot's of $olaris.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

*sees Jacob bowing down and praising money*

Riiiiight.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I don`t bow to anything.

Money aren`t for bow dawn, money are for spend

[jacobdouds]

Money is the god and way of all. Bow down and worship it, or be condemned

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Like i said before.

Make us :P

*Sticks out his tongue Tayron Anime style*

[Emperor Harkonnen]

No, spice is the god. Spice controls the universe

[nemafakei]

Shai Hulud is a god, damnit!

Anyway, not ALL religions merged for the OC bible.

There are the following divisions:

OC: All Christan denominations

Zensunni: Far Eastern + Sikhism + some Islam

Buddislam: Speaks for itself

Tleilaxu religion: Islamic + ?

Sardaukar Fanaticism: Pharaonic?

Can't think of any more at present.

[Mahdi]

Judism survived as well.

And the O.C. is no longer an important document.  Near the first of Dune, when Paul gets the bible, and when he quotes it to Jessica, it talks about it being one of the ancient ways that people don't study anymore, except the Bene Gesserit.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Leto II is the God. God Emperor.

Nema, why you think that Tleilaxu were islamic? They were fanatics, that`s true...

[quoudam72]

I know you asked Nema but I will just say this, it's the way the Rev. Mother (I do not remember her name at the is moment) describes how their religion is it seems to be Islamic influenced to a certain point. Their way of praying seems Islamic and some of the prays seem to be Islamic just deleted or rearrangement of the words. Although I have still to understand what other religion FH mixed into forming the Bene Tleilaxu. Maybe Nema can shed some light on this subject, Nema?  :)  

[nemafakei]

That's mostly my line of thinking too, Fed. Fen Adjidica said something as well that impressed me as very islamic... I can't remember what it was now.

[quoudam72]

If I remember correct this all takes place in Dune:Chapter House or is it Heretcs of Dune?
