NO! I'm talking about the religious articles from Journey to the West! There is a Sutra (which is a Buddhist Scripture or parchments with sacred text inscibed on them. Journey to the West is what the movie The Forbidden Kingdom and the TV show Dragon Ball are loosely based on.
I disagree. Aliens are living beings, not Gods themselves (only revered as such by the natives). They would have the same "creator".Montana Smith said:Indiana Jones and the Kama Sutra?
I don't think that the Indy series is locked down to any "one true God", since the Inter-Dimensionals opened everything up, and the world can still remain supernatural and unexplained to him.

sandiegojones said:It may be tough to reconcile the "one true God" of Raiders with multiple pagan Gods (at least with aliens God is still likely their creator), but since they had already done voodoo and black magic in "Doom" I think it can work.
Whatever they come up with, I'll surely be very curious to see it!

Another fruit reference! A clue? I'm desperate here...Ford: "George Lucas is working on a new idea. If it bears fruit and Steven Spielberg and I both respond to it, I’d be happy to do it."

RedeemedChild said:Hopefully the next Indiana Jones movie will be centered around the Journey to the West epic and have Dr. Jones and Mutt on a quest to India in search for the Sutras of Enlightened and shards of the Celestial Chalice and the long lost Monkey King.
I still disagree.Lance Quazar said:There is no "One True God" in the Indy series. "Doom" was about Hinduism, not voodoo.
And it was just as valid, just as "real" as the Judeo Christian beliefs in 1 and 3.

Mickiana said:The character of Indiana Jones is more of a skeptic. He is more amoral, reactive and instinctual than anything else really. In Raiders he is a skulking treasure hunter with an aloof academic interest in artifacts and pays little or no personal heed to superstitious beliefs, as a professor of Archaeology should. His character is infuriating in this way to people who would have him be something loftier, but if he is heroic it is because he is forced to, even if it is himself forcing it. If he makes an allowance for the supernatural he certainly shows no belief in it or at least any in depth analysis. He is a realist and believes in his physical place in the universe. And as a true academic he believes in no particular god as this would be a betrayal to the higher religion of his Archaeology.

Lucas was influenced by black magic, voodoo and Mesoamerican ritual human sacrifice for Temple of Doom (this was confirmed in a History Channel special). That is not Hinduism. He made up a cult ritual based on 18th century rumors of the Thuggee.
If you are referring to the power of the stones, yes they were based on Hindu beliefs, but you could say their power comes from "God". The Sankara stones are known as Shiva lingam. The name Shiva = "Supreme God". Sankara was a person, not a God. I understand there are 5 primary Gods in Hinduism, but Shiva is the primary god.
I see the aliens in KOTCS more as enlightened beings, "created" by a supreme being. The existence of aliens doesn't mean God is not real. Neither KOTCS or TOD necessarily present different "Gods" than the one in Raiders and TLC, at least in my opinion.
