Moving Dudeism Forwards

[DigitalBuddha]

since dudeism is a digital religion for most of us will never meet each other, surely the forum is our temple or mecca or what have you?

Or maybe a place of Dudeist fellowship? A Dudeist fellowship hall and family restaurant.

Well done you win todays worst pun award, it did make me grimace when I read this.



Though thinking about it we do have enough Dwarven looking individuals to do the Hobbit.

As you know I'm pretty much for the idea of spreading Dudeism around and going with it in the physical world, so to say. And obviously I think that the Abide University and Abiding Centres are a fucking cool idea. But first we should probably arrive at a definition of what Dudeism is...First we need to lay down as simply as possible what Dudeism is (tenets, principles...) and then we should have clear guidelines about Dudeism Centres. I know it's boring but given that this is not 'Nam rules are needed. Just as the forum does to keep away spammers. Few simple rules and everyone is, and remains, happy.

Clearly, imdo.  

I definitely agree with everything in your post, but felt these points should be focused on.  Everything needed for a basic understanding of Dudeism is on the main site, but somehow it needs to be assembled into a single uncompromised first draft if Dudeism is to be seriously recognized as a legitimate religion by the uptight thinkers in our various governments worldwide.  I wonder if Dudes Benjamin and Eutsey thought it would be this exhausting when they started this...  

Edit:  Leave it to the new guy on the lanes to fuck things up.  After doing a little light reading in some of these threads, I now realize Forumdude is already well-versed in what it would take for Dudeism to become a legit religion, at least here in the U.S..  I take comfort in that, and have faith that it will happen if and when it should.  Until then, I'm just gonna keep takin' 'er easy for all the sinners.

Yeah, but do we have enough clean-shaven guys to be the halfling??   


ps, on topic: Nice to see some people flogging this old dead horse.  I'm enjoying the perspectives of the newly vocal members of our group

Rev. Al you're fucking correct again. And surely DL knows what to do and where Dudeism should go, our debates are anyway useful, I guess, to help having ideas and such, and to clarify our train of thoughts and keep it limber. At the end if he's the Tiger Dude there's a reason, even if these open the door to debating if we are golfers or caddies.  I'm kidding obviously.

Also I'd add that the uncompromised first draft on Dudeism should be useful also for "newcomers" or those who have never played golf to undestand what we are talking about. As you correctly say DL will do what's needed when it's needed. I guess he talks pretty often with the Stranger but wander if he prefers beer or sarsaparilla. 

Rev. Ed, the horse isn't dead, he's just chilling out a little.

I've always thought the Valhalla to be a pretty cool place to stay, free beers, viking ladies and so on, but the Lord of Pins could be another good concept. My beard is just a centimeter long as if longer my moustaches would interfere when I'm eating or drinking. Can I be half dwarf and half halfling? Or, given my preference for viking ladies just stick with Dudehirrims?

Yeah, that's bad terminology on my part, that didn't come across as a I meant it to sound!  I mean it was nice to see it brought back to life, not to imply that it was dead and gone *slaps on forehead*.

Just goes to prove, you can try and achieve six impossible things before breakfast, but never try and write eloquently on a forum before work

perhaps the heisenberg principle applies: by trying to fix or fully undertand one aspect of dudeism, we lose all understanding of the other parts.
is it not the nature of dudeism just to be ... and be happy with it? dude forbit we should examine it too closely and find it is naught but the perverse drug fuelled projeny of oliver

abide dudes.

[Andrea Da Fino]

Well Rev. Ed, I've understood what you said, I tried to come out with a kind of joke but messed it up. My poor English. 

milnie, well, on one side you're probably right, on the other we can't look at the moon thinking it's the sun. We can appreciate its beauty anyway but lose the correct frame of reference. Or understand one thing for another. Like the difference between the uncompromised first draft and all the following papers, they might be good but they are not the original one.

Does it appear that I've lost my train of thought somewhere? 

[Sailing Dude]

Dudeism is ok the way it is. We all bring our past knowledge into our pristhood to spread the word and knowledge has no boundries otherwise were a dead ended society and start critizing and drawing lines in the sand this will not stand.

[Andrea Da Fino]

Yes dude you're right, but how would you answer to the question What is Dudeism? Or Who is a Dude?  Or both?

[Sailing Dude]

So are you trying to JUDGE Dudeist   I think in Dudeism that would not abide.
