If the dude was a god, what would he be a god of?
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..?
far out, man. you're obviously privy to all this new shit... but that's what i pay you for..

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!
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.
He'd be a god of chill things...
bowling (duh)
smoking a "J"
mixed drinks
mid '70's Fords ... the Torino
chill bands... CCR, I dig though I like Rush and ELO more... still
This shit ain't too hard, folks.
I'm into it.

Okay I will explain it as I see it...
The Dude, was one of the original authors of the Port Huron Statement right?
And he was part of the Seattle Seven...
So when he was younger, he was an activist, possibly even a radical activist for the left wing...
So if the Left won, The Dude might have even become President of the US.
But all the hippies and activists were shut down, sold out, or what have you...the movement
is no more.
So now The Dude is a guy from another time (hence the significance of the Stranger as a character who reflects the Dude and is most similar to the Dude's temperment) who had ideals and hopes and dreams
of making the world a better place, but is now just trying to survive, get by, and take er easy in a world that wouldnt listen, and just tryin to hold on and ride the wave of life, strikes and gutters, man, strikes and gutters.....
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." ...Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo, man, that Dude Abides!

You got the whole Ralph Waldo Emerson thing going on, fucking a, Ralph was a dude for sure.
Yah, I cant help but think what those Dudes back in history would do if they had to live in the world today.
Maybe kill themselves. But more likely they would find each other and get together and take the world back from the no good sonumnabitches that stole it.
Anyway I like your style too, dbuddha, got the whole cheech and chong thing goin on.
Just one thing, d'ya have to use so many cusswords?

Coitus is ALWAYS the issue
It increases the chances of conception.
Well yes. What did you think this was all about, fun and games?
Definitely not a god. The Dude is fallible. He doubts himself. He questions. He does not claim to have all the answers.
He more closely resembles a prophet or saint. One who greatly exemplifies Dudeism, maybe even best exemplifies Dudeism, but is not necessarily perfectly Dudist.
But in the end, he is none of these things. He is simply The Dude.
"So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."
Not a slacker?
A the check he wrote for the half-and-half? Pretty slacker to me.
I'm not saying he's any "Bob" Dobbs, but, ya know, fuckin a....
Who's dude?God is still a god!

Dudes,
No shit - I have like this wild ark-of-the-covenant thingy going in my house.
The dude - indeed, all non-rug-pissing dudes, is a God.
Hey - if "God" is universal, then God and reality is the same word.
Hindus say namaste - translates to "thou art God"
Every man a universe, and the sacred attention we pay to each other - always with abiding respect in the true nature of the world. The illusion is that we are separate - we are all part of the same thing -
and if you believe in eternity and the heaven-dealio, then what part of right now isn't automatically a chunk of it?
Dude!

I agree with you, man. If he were god, then he would have known where Bunny was, and then we'd have no movie to base our beliefs on. Instead I think that the Dude is a prophet who is into that whole brevity thing. He knows how to live his life, it works for him. His life is like the words he speaks, simple, to the point, and hard for some to comprehend. Those who don't think that life needs to be more complex then it is.

Interesting, like a vagina! But seriously, Joseph Campbell siad something about that- that when strangers risk or even give their lives to save another, it violates every materialistic principle of reproduction, kin responsibility, self preservation, and natural selection. The only explanation is that those strangers realised then and there that there is no difference between the two. Both were one in the same infinite. They were in fact saving themselves. This is also the true meaning of the way of the cross, to be saved in abiding love- not a fourth century creed. Peace.
Namaste is actually, "the spirit in me greets the spirit in you."
But for our purposes, I believe it translates as, "I dig your style too, man."

Our lifes are in his hands?
Oh, man, don't say that..
