Well, here in the UK, building a Dudeist church or whathaveyou is going to suffer from abuse and vandalism.  What we need to relax isn't to have to put up with people taking the piss.

If anything, we need to build some sort of club, like a lodge to meet up in.  Make it a real place to relax.

Calling it a church or temple or anything similar will just make it seem like some religious parody to non-dudes, which only draws in the ASBO arseholes.  The thing is to keep any such place how we'd really like it to be, have it put down as a church officially, and hold regular meetings where we can discuss our business like a any other group of faithful.  I mean, any modern church has a church hall built in anyways, usually with a serving hatch from the kitchen for coffee morning, or in the case of this catholic church I was in for a wedding last year it had a bar!

I think we need to define the meaning of church anyway.  I mean, we're called a church as a whole, but surely we want our sacred building to be called something else, like an Alley, or a Lane, or a Bar, or a Club, or Lodge, or somesuch.  Afterall, we're not supposed to just be a parody of one particular religion, we're a new set of ideals founded on a culmination of respectable philosophies.  We want a unique indentity, custom designed to fit with our ethos.
That is entirely true dude! So yeah, what WOULD we want our sacred building to be called?

See I like the idea of League. Then we could have Local Leagues (eg The Local Portsmouth Dudeist League), Area Leagues (eg The UK South Coast Area Dudeist League), National Leagues (eg The UK National Dudeist League), International Leagues (The EU International Dudeist League), and of course the World Dudeist League.

I like the sound of leagues.
In a world were society tries to dictate every thing about you.
What you were, What you want to be, How to live.
What not to smoke, Don't drink to much, Get a job you bum.
Why can't it just let a dude abide, In a world were hate in standerd.
Abide any way.

I Don't care what its called. League sounds dandy. We don't need any new construction projects though. I wouldn't mind going to the league office after work for a nice White Russian with my fellow dudes. It's fair to say that that is the same thing as going to any local bar. But in a league building we could discuss different events and ideas that could only come to fruition with the help of many Dudley hands.
Abide, always Abide.

Oh Dudes!
I think I may be like becoming a missionary or something.
For the last month and with no reference to this thread, I have been organising a bowling league at work.
The Great Western Reading Depot Bowling League will have its inaugaral game at Wokingham on 21st Sep 2011,1400hrs.
I think I will keep the attire low key at first.Break into their uptight thinking gently.
