Dudeism insulted

[Hominid]

Uh, so no Lord of the Ringer cult? 

I can see it now - Lord of the Ringers wearing dirty underwear on their heads. "Shit Heads" I think they'd be called...

[cckeiser]

LOL! And we are off and running!

[Caesar dude]

I'm worried now that I might have had unprotected sects!

[Hominid]

Hm - typical for a sects addict...  I'm with ya!!!

[Caesar dude]

Is that a come on? Hmmmm... ok I'm game big boy! LOL

No, but as they say......................

This is splitting my belly, if that's the correct nomenclature.

thanks guys for the welcome. i'm afraid my trips to the bar are a bit to infrequent and then when i am here i forget what i've been talking about!?!
I am nearing the point of making my special lady friend my special lady wife and at a wedding fair (DO NOT GO IN SOBER!) i was asked if i had a minister, to which i automatically replied i was one. the lady did adopt a somewhat confused expression when i stated the religion and then thought i was joking.
as much as i detest celebrity endorsements, where's a Tom Cruise when you need one? someone to keep us in the public eye?
on second thoughts, maybe mr cruise is not a good example of how to promote a religion ;-)

I was just recently accused of being in a cult by a relative (on a Facebook post no less). I wanted to throw a coffee cup at her head, so I got out of my own way, poured another glass of wine, and composed a light-hearted response.  I  felt insulted, and that Dudeism was insulted.  I think she realized her mistake, because the thread is no longer there!

Anyone else have this happen?

At the risk of bringing this thread back on line:

Robert Anton Wilson: The Difference Between Cults & Religions

"The difference is the number of members and the size of the bank account"

Also listen for some interesting insight into his meeting with Ayn Rand that we discussed a while ago.

I thought Oliver was our poster boy (and media whore)!

[Hominid]

It seems that any (all?) religious endorsements by movie stars all point to Scientology, a known whacko cult. Not sure I'd want the same judgement; you know how people's minds work... "Oh, Brad Pit belongs to Dudeism? I *knew* there was something strange about him!"

... "Oh, Brad Pit belongs to Dudeism? I *knew* there was something strange about him!"

Has anyone asked him if he wants to join?

I was once accused of being a cunt. Is that similar?
