religion

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Sardauker's are pharoaphic yeah, (I think *looks at nema*) Besides. Where did they get the Pyramid and tomb idea's off anyways *Looks at Egypt*

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

What are you talking, Sard. Pyramid on Salusa? Pharaonic means that they treat ruler like Pharaoh.

Or you are again in great mood :)

Hmmm, what religion had Guild ???

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I have just found out that the atreides are christians. In the hospital, when Rombhour was really injured, Leto tried to recall a praying from O.C. Bible.

And that makes the noble Atreides Christians.

[Nefud]

I think you cannot say that 'the Atreides are Christian', because, when Leto said something to Rhombur it was from the OCB, and not from the Bible...

I think the Sardaukar hane no religion after all...

You can be fanatic, without having a god...  ;)

The Tleilaxu have some sort of True Belief or somethin, because they start to spread their religion to the Universe and it's quite different from the religions I know.

And about the religions: why do you guys think, that if someone's being nice then he/she's Christian??

I think Buddhism too speaks about loving life and all the other living creatures! And furthermore, Buddhism started no war against other people not being Buddhist,

unlike the Christians and the Islam in the Medieval ages.

And something about the Jihad: in the Koran, Allah says, to use the Jihad to strike BACK at the enemy who attacked you, and not to be the first to strike. The Islam bears other religions parallel with itself.

And if you listen to the news of today you can hear or read that the religious leaders of the Islam say, that they will only start a Jihad against the USA if it attacks them...

[jacobdouds]

The OCB isn't catholic, it is a mixture of every religion and then a whole lot was removed and revised anyway.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I don't wanna start an eternal discussion about religion, but the Muslims attacked the Byzantics first, and during the crusades the Christians just helped their allied, Byzantine, to regain their territory, which the Muslims took.

and the muslims attack Hinduists too in India, so present they are the most hostile religion. Don't get me wrong, I ain't saying that all muslims are like that, some muslims are extremly tolerant.

[Nefud]

Was that attack a Jihad or just a `simple` war?

[TMA_1]

Baron you couldnt be more wrong that they are christians. that isthe stupidest thing I have heard on the post yet. thats all I will say I odnt want to start a flame war.lol

[Acriku]

Did the Harkonnens follow the OCB? I doubt it, but if not that what did they have for religion? Or do they think the current Baron was Godly enough  ::)?

[nemafakei]

A lot of the imperium seems to be agnostic. And the Atrides aren't definitively OC. There are quotations from the OCB from many (BGs, incidental characters...), because it is a book for the age after the machines, but religion is more subdued... the element of religion is les important than the human>machine element.

[jacobdouds]

Religion doesn't play a large part anymore. It is mostly a myth.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

The Harkonnens God is probably solaris ;D that's what I like about 'em

[Vanguard3000]

Orange Catholicism is the "main" religion in the Imperium.  As Jacob said, it's many religions clumped into one (most religions, after all, do have very similar teachings), revised, edited, etc.  Also, it contains the Butlerian Jihad strictures (the chief commandment being "Thou shalt not create a machine in the image of man").

Although, that's not to say there aren't other religions.  The Bene Tleilax were of the Sufi religion, the Fremen were Zensunni, and so on.  They also make mention of Buddislamic monks on Lankiveil in HH, as well as the High Priest of Dur (probably O.C.), who coronated Shaddam IV in HA.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Even if religion did played a role in Dune, Whats the use of building an temple on the Sand of Arrakis. While the Fremen or some other threats keeps attacking it.

[Acriku]

Why would they build a temple on the sand? That's the dumbest thing ever. If anything on Arrakis, let it be on the cliffs, or shielded rock, etc.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

But still,. It can be attacked.

[Acriku]

And your point is? ....

Don't put it on Arrakis then, put it on Caladan or something.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

The point is, * Watches a March of Revolters walk on the sand. * Somebody call timenn! :)

[Nefud]

Sardauker-Kirov: what's your point with the Temple?  ???

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Just never mind. I dont want to start a Thread war about "Sand religion or Sand temple's "  ;)

[nampigai]

Don't worry I don't think it will come that far :P

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Maybe it will, Who knows...... The Arrakis Temple Jihad!!!.

Hehehe *Looks at his avatar and laughs *

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Temple on the sand can be easy eat by worm...if worms like those things...

[Acriku]

What would be the reason for it on Arrakis anyways? It would deface the religion puttin a holy temple on a pile of dirt IMO.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well, maybe some Fremen need that stuff. But if I know Fremen, they can do it by their own. They don`t need temples-worm-food standing on the sand. By the way, sand is always in move, so how temple can stand in one place?
