Hoje é dia de São Jorge e tivemos a agravél companhia de fogos de artifício que finalmente foram apagados pelo dilúvio que nos assola. Dilúvio esse que colocaria qualquer guerreiro fremen em parafuso dançando na chuva e agradecendo aos céus, ou melhor São Jorge...Tudo bem, Shai-Hulud é indiscutivelmente o Deus supremo, mas se eles fossem adeptos da Bíblia Católica Laranja, com certeza São Jorge estaria lá e a preferência seria indiscutível. Seria interessante ver guerreiros fremem sobre vermes gigantescos com adesivão de São Jorge na lateral....Salve Jorge! Shaaaaiiii-Huuuluuuuuuddddd....Mais um desenho antigo de um fremen entrando em combate com um Sadaukar pelado.
Segue a descrição da Bíblia Católica Laranja para maior erudição sobre o universo de Duna.
The Orange Catholic Bible (abbreviated to O. C. Bible or OCB) is a fictional book from the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. Created in the wake of the crusade against thinking machines known as the Butlerian Jihad, the Orange Catholic Bible is the key religious text in the Dune universe and is described thus in the glossary of the 1965 novel Dune:
ORANGE CATHOLIC BIBLE: the "Accumulated Book," the religious text produced by the Commission of Ecumenical Translators. It contains elements of most ancient religions, including the Maometh Saari, Mahayana Christianity, Zensunni Catholicism and Buddislamic traditions. Its supreme commandment is considered to be: "Thou shalt not disfigure the soul."
The appendix to Dune also notes that the chief commandment of the Butlerian Jihad remains in the Orange Catholic Bible as "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."[1] It is further explained in the Dune appendix that the passage "Paradise on my right. Hell on my left, and the Angel of Death behind" describes human life as a journey across a narrow bridge.
In Dune, Doctor Yueh gives Paul Atreides his copy of the Orange Catholic Bible during their initial trip to Arrakis. This copy is a space-traveler's miniaturized edition of the tome, set in tiny print on fragile pages made from "filament paper." It is described as "black, oblong, no larger than the end of Paul's thumb" but contains eighteen hundred pages. Yueh instructs Paul in its use:
It has its own magnifier and electrostatic charge system ... The book is held closed by the charge, which forces against spring-locked covers. You press the edge — thus, and the pages you've selected repel each other and the book opens ... the charge moves ahead one page at a time as you read. Never touch the actual pages with your fingers. The filament tissue is too delicate.
