Of Religion and Herbert

While I was walking back from work today, I was wondering about Christianity and Islam, two of the fastest growing religions in the world. And I thought to myself that maybe the reason these religions are succeeding is because they do not ask a great deal of you, and are simple.

At which point, I mentally felt a slap — it was the resounding voice of Lady Jessica chiding me and chastening me for my stupidity as I recollected a particular quote:

Paul Muad’dib: “The Fremen have a simple, practical religion.”

Lady Jessica: “Nothing about religion is simple.”
