"While the book will focus on Zen, some fans of the Dude have already found religion: Dudeism. From a website dedicated to the ideas and teachings of the character created by the Coen brothers: "Life is short and complicated and nobody knows what to do about it. So don?t do anything about it. Just take it easy, man. Stop worrying so much whether you?ll make it into the finals. Kick back with some friends and some oat soda and whether you roll strikes or gutters, do your best to be true to yourself and others -- that is to say, abide." The site claims 100,000 ordained Dudeist priests worldwide."

100,000 abiding dudes; the fellowship grows! Looking forward to reading the dude's prose.

actually that's an old figure - it's up to 160,000. of course, the majority aren't active dudeists, probably ordained as a lark. but all the new projects (the dudeist social network, abide university, etc) will aim to keep people more engaged. hopefully!
