Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. From Matthew 5, New Testament, Bible

Along those lines of discussing the nature of good and evil it is also a mistake to place them as opposites. I’d like to explore that topic of how good is itself something to be dwelt and mediatated upon because it is connected to reality Himself. However I will leave that topic to another day. Back to Dune… it does seem like an unwritten rule in modern culture: you don’t mix Christianity and science fiction (I guess i broke that in making this video...
