Right!<br>It's only an interesting gateway for discussion<br>and written in the 60s<br>so the propheticness of Herbert is quite disturbing, though...<br>and it makes some interesting points<br>but you seem a bit too quick to lol off the whole thing as chaff, believe me I agree, most of it IS chaff, silly crap, but some of it,<br> "Muad'Dib says, "The time will come when all (who are a part of the system - like the [collar and] Tie-fighters in Starwars) will turn against us and seek our lives. We must reach the safety of [the] Rock." Inside which there are wind-traps and reservoirs containing millions of decalitres of drinking-water. Exactly as there are blast-traps at the entrances and reservoirs inside The Rock of Gibraltar. "<br>"He then returns to the physical-dimension and cries, "Father, The Sleeper [Christ] HAS AWAKENED" and he becomes the Dune Messiah. Then in the safety of the long-hall under "The Mountain of Rock" his followers call him "Mahdi", "Mahdi", "Mahdi". Mahdi is an Arabic name for the Christ - the Chosen One, from the outer-world (The Universe) who has come (to Earth) to lead all men to TRUE freedom and to fight the Jihad or Holy-War against the kings of the Earth to cleanse the world of their evil, satanically-inspired empire, and systems of government; that create mass poverty and a very wealthy, very small, minority; exactly as is prophesied by Christ himself, in his own Prophetical Book of Revelation/Apocalypse that he gave personally to his apostle John. <br><br>Whoa, do I sound like a nutty Christian fundamentalist yet?????<br>well, i'm not, I believe this guy has been decieved into thinking something, <br>I also believe that he's on the right track in his way of connecting all these sci-fi movies to Biblical things...<br>your talk of the<br>reading middle class, it resonated with me though I can't help feel a bit elitist in that I do read and between the lines at that as well.<br>This UK website is funny though and the original title of my post was "something quite silly" but I changed it for some reason.<br>oh well<br> <p></p><i></i>
