Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 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 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 12, 2002 Author Share Posted March 12, 2002 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 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 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 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 The OCB isn't catholic, it is a mixture of every religion and then a whole lot was removed and revised anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefud Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Was that attack a Jihad or just a `simple` war? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acriku Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 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 ::)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 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 Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Religion doesn't play a large part anymore. It is mostly a myth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 The Harkonnens God is probably solaris ;D that's what I like about 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 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 Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 But still,. It can be attacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 And your point is? .... Don't put it on Arrakis then, put it on Caladan or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 The point is, * Watches a March of Revolters walk on the sand. * Somebody call timenn! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Temple on the sand can be easy eat by worm...if worms like those things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
