The most dramatic example of the dire consequences of blind faith and unquestioning belief can be found with the rise of the mighty and terrible God Emperor who successfully forced a religion of his own design upon the known universe. In this video I examine the religion of the God Emperor and the vital role it played in saving humanity from its otherwise inevitable destruction. Spoiler warning if you are unfamiliar with Frank Herbert’s Dune saga.
