The Fremen highly value purity of the soul, but also ritual violence (slaying of former leaders). This seems unique to them rather than instilled by the Bene Gesserit missionaries. This ritual violence is upset by Paul, which according to modern sensibilities appears to be a positive change.

This waiting, as well as the prophecy set up to perfectly match the Bene Gesserit, are man-made tools to control the population.

Now, assuming a God figure exists, a Creator, that creator has insofar been abandoned conceptually. Religious pining focuses on the coming of the Messiah, not the fulfillment of God’s will. This instills a sense of waiting hated by Chaani (Zendaya) and the Northern Fremen

I do believe this water is analogous to the human soul and corruption of state. The water of Fremen is considered holy, as it is derived from their own. The water of outsiders is corrupted. Ok, simple enough.

The human soul is heavily valued as seen by the untouched pool of human water which would have given much needed resources to the Fremen if utilized. The water of outsiders is seen as corrupted by chemicals.

@Anon2024 my main points will be outlined in a series of comments : 1. The lack of a perceivable God-figure worshipped by the masses 1. a. The lack of a perceivable moral code resembling any sort of philosophical exploration of human existence outside of a tool-like state

Yep! I’m strongly religious in a weird way (my mother HEAVILY drilled in a sense of suspicion and what she called “using the brain God gave you) so maybe that’s why I fixated on the religious imagery and compared it to my own understanding of faith and the greater world of religious, specific...

I love their stuff so much (do not go searching for the Tom and Jerry animatics, you’ve been warned ((please do it’s awesome (((don’t, I have the link for you right here ;) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLANkGqAUKVKwqTZL826M-mWWoXlBMZobM&si=Tq9UQJEIlSqGCUPS))))))
