Lash the outsider to the stake and he shall fuel the bonfires of Beltane for the next fortnight!

*quaffs from his wooden goblet and put his feet up on a stump*

Ahh, he does warm my cockles nicely

To quote from one of several great Jethro Tull songs on the matter of Beltane:

"Pass the word and pass the lady, pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, pass the cup of crimson wonder."

And all by the light of a Keiser-fueled fire.  Ahh, good times

Thanks for the apologies, meekon. As far as shielding children, I'm not for or against it in a blanket way, but it depends on the content and how old children are. Ins and outs to be explained, as it looks like others have taken up this line of discussion.

But finally, this is a line crossed:

What is "imotive"? Do you mean "emotive"?

I absolutely did not mean any disrespect when I asked what "imotive" was. I thought it was either a word I never heard of, or else a typo. I never considered it could be a result of dyslexia and apologize for not being aware. It was only a question and not a cut--truly! I asked because I wanted to understand what you were saying.

It's OK I haven't had a christian infiltrator to eat recently so the inner Walter tends to come out occasionally (yes i mean occasionally, to the rest of you, it could be worse).

BTW christian Dudeists I'm OK with (no problem there). I just don't want to see Dudeism turned in to a christian offshoot, that's all.

Copy that. Glad we're ok.

Awww all sweet again! Meekon you makeme  laugh a LOT!

Touchy little Pagan! (sarcasm and joking font)

But I know exactly where you were coming from....you should try some of the forums I monitor...rarely post cos I would end up verbally destroying some of those redneck grammar nazis... (was going to write grammer....but thought better of it!)

Glad you two are dudelike with each other once more. 

Peace to all.

Wow man all this really ties the mind together .........

[poppa Fabian]

i would submit that the hurdles to have Dudeism recognized on a societal level could be handled quite easily. Even more so with organized documentation of relation between the actions of those in the story to the actions of the believer. in this you can prove 'faith', and thus 'religion'.
I would also refuse to accept minor religion as a term, as quantity of believers does not prove right.
