Please read the previous part in the series: Hard Lands, Hard Peoples “Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.” -Orange Catholic Bible, Dune Religion in Frank Herbert’s Dune is very interesting. You must remember that it’s futuristic science fiction, taking place thousands of years into the future when mankind has moved beyond Earth into the far reaches of the universe. All the religious beliefs of the old Earth were gathered into the Orange Catholic Bible(also called the Accumulated Book), a text of about 1800 pages. Before man left the Earth, the religions had already begun to fuse and create new denominations. Islam and Buddhism or Christianity and Buddhism. This book held the religious texts of the three major religions at the time: Mahayana Christianity, Maometh Saari, and Zensunni. By this time, they don’t really resemble the original Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam.
I don't think we get from A to B -- from alienated reconstructed deracination to ethnoreligious Aryan horseclans -- without what I would call 'chastisement'.

The beatings will continue until actual morality not moralism improves.
