If the dude was a god, what would he be a god of?

slackers

slackers

Hmmm, now that is a good point you bring up. Maybe it would be more fitting to call  the dude (in the parlance of this message board and the religion of Dudeism) "The Patron Saint of Slackers."

dude, the dude is not a slacker.

think about it...

-he figured out the whole kidnap thing
-he helped is fucking lady friend conceive
-he did get his team into the next round robin

this is hardly the work of a slacker.  am i wrong?

i'd say dude is the saint of abiding.

I think it's fair to say you can be a slacker in certain areas of your life while being a bit more industrious and achieving in others.

This is just, like my opinion, man. But the dude was able to be an achiever and at the same time a slacker. Not many dudes can do this, and many have failed trying. And this is my point, dude.................while totally slacking off (e.g., do you have a job, sir? ...a job?...is this, what day is this?), the dude was able to secure a new rug from the big Lebowski, cop a feel of Bunnie's toe on the way out, establish yet another place to use the john if he was in the neighborhood, and waltz out of Lebowski's pad right under the nose of Brandt with his new rug while on the way to a cash machine. He did abide for sure, and he achieved at the same time, but did so while slacking. Fucking a, man, the dude was a master at being the dude....an abiding slacker.

an abiding slacker...?  interesting.  is that some kind of eastern thing? 

so, what you're blathering about is,....  as it pertains to being a slacker, the dude abides..?

You got a point there Dude 1967, that's fucking interesting.

I am going to have to agree that the Dude is the patron saint of abiding.

As practitioners of the Deist religion of Dudeism, we are not really in a position to assign god status to anyone because it would distract from the Great Integrity of the Dao of the Dude.

As Dudeists, we are charged with Abiding by the Dao of the Dude, and for those who Abide, may they forever reside with the Dude in the Great Integrity for all eternity.

The Dude is an emanation and representation of the path to the Great Integrity and he gives us a personification of the Great Integrity through his exhibition of Dudeness.

He's not a slacker, he just takes'er easy, sits back, and goes with the ebb and flow of the Great Integrity.

And that is some kind of eastern thing!

[Andrea D.]

I'm totally agree, he's not a slacker, he's some kind of contemplative dude.
He just help in the way he can and is a good friend.I just think in a world complete of dudes like The Dude...What a wonderful world.Don't you think?
The dude minds.
