I just think its ridiculous that there has to be that much crap. Not to trash talk other religious ideas but if a guy can claim he is the last prophet of god and tell people he has mystical plates with messages from god and still be a "real religion" we can't we be able to perform a marriage... That's my hang up.

Well once we've spent a couple of thousand years infiltrating every aspect of society and are finally in control of most of the civilized world, then we will be able to make the rules.

Wow. That's pretty lame man.

But you have to admit, it IS very dude-like.

How so? Doesn't sound like slacking to me!! ;-)

Getting others to do all the hard work sounds like a master stroke in slacking to me!

Oh wait was that sarcasm again?

I found a list of ministers from the Church of the Latter-Day Dude on the minister index of the Ohio Attorney General website. So, if they are now saying that they do not accept Dudeism, they are full of crap! All you have to do is refer them to their own list of ministers registered with their office.

As a matter of fact, here is a screen shot of the list off of the state's website (if I can post images on my first ever forum post...).

Good find, dude!

Dude, that's a major breach of privacy, showing people's names and addresses....

steve44147 · « **Reply #67 on:** September 06, 2012, 05:35:48 PM »

It's all public record available for anyone to see on the Ohio Attorney General's website. So, it is not an invasion of anyone's privacy. If they didn't want people to see it, then they could have chose not to have their information added to a public directory. It's no more of an invasion of privacy than the white pages.

True, it could be, but since it's already online, their privacy is moot. But you bring out out a good point, Hominid dude. The only reason a government would have that online is so that a person could check to see if a dude's credentials were valid, otherwise; "hey, this is a private residence, man." Another example of NOTHING being private to fucking government these days!

No breech of privacy, just something called the Sunshine Laws ("any records made or received by any public agency in the course of its official business are available for inspection"). By registering with the state as a minister, that made all of the information you submitted public record. When I registered, I used a PO box, so no one would show up at my "private residence."

steve44147 dude, I made a slight edit of the post so as to keep it a private residence as possible, that should do it I think, dudes. No worries, just doing my janitor duties. A few burgers, a few beers, our troubles are over, dudes.

rev-jaholbrook · « **Reply #71 on:** September 06, 2012, 06:28:54 PM »

So there are dudeist ministers registered with the state? Blam-o! Those guys should be good right?

steve44147 · « **Reply #72 on:** September 06, 2012, 06:40:13 PM »

Wow. Amazing...

Smart to use a PO box. The others on that graphic didn't. As "legit" the Sunshine Laws may be, we should err on the side of caution and not participate in the same indiscriminate behaviour as our governments, specifically, splashing personal information all over the place. As dudes, our attitude to privacy shouldn't reflect the fascist big brother assholes who don't give a shit about the individual. Would you want someone knocking on your door asking "Donny, is this your homework???" ;-)

Good move DB...

Good idea, Dude.

Yeah, the whole public record thing bums me out. Gonna have to have a public license in a few years, and I don't like that my home address will be given out. I need to get one of those boxes.
