Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 The Harkonnen has the Atomic Religion... Hailllll the Atomics!!!! ;D Isnt that right Gunseng? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 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. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 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.

jacobdouds Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 The christianity faith, along with almost every other faith, has been abolished. This is 25'000 years in the future after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 What makes you say that Christianity no longer exists? What are you basing it apon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 Of course Christianity exist, Atreides are probably christians, since Harkonnen seems to be Satan worshipers ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobdouds Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zaeroastrians, christians, eastern philosophy and religion, hindism, islam, zenzunni, unitarians and many more. It gives a list in there. Its really weird.lolIt 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:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Shai Hulud is a god, damnit!Anyway, not ALL religions merged for the OC bible.There are the following divisions:OC: All Christan denominationsZensunni: Far Eastern + Sikhism + some IslamBuddislam: Speaks for itselfTleilaxu religion: Islamic + ?Sardaukar Fanaticism: Pharaonic?Can't think of any more at present.

Mahdi Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 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 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Leto II is the God. God Emperor.Nema, why you think that Tleilaxu were islamic? They were fanatics, that`s true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 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? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 If I remember correct this all takes place in Dune:Chapter House or is it Heretcs of Dune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
