......We should enlighten them! I think we can cal it dudevangelism!
I'm sorry but surely evangelism is diametrically apposed to the way of the Dude? Seems like too much uptight thinking for me.As a cleverer man than me once said.“A Dude fills his house with oat soda and burgers from In-N-Out. He sits out front with the door open. If a reactionary, or a nihilist should walk past and not notice, what the fucdoesn'toesn’t bother them. But should a stranger pass and notice, and approach the Dude, he invites him in for a beverage.”That for me is the way of the Dude, that is how Dudeism should be transmitted. Not shouted from roof tops and evangelised. Too much unchecked aggression.
That's certainly an interesting one. I myself have my ordination patch sewn onto my satchel, which goes most places with me.
The main trouble would be, if we were to implement something like that, to make it universal. Most Dudeists possibly don't read the forum or the Dudespaper, and so you'd have to email everyone on the ordination register, which sounds like a whole load of hassle.
Also, I think anyone shunning the patches and the like isn't really going to be big into advertising. I guess you just have to respect the privacy of a Dude who doesn't like to show it. We are in the most casual religious movement in the world, afterall.
I think if you're looking to meet other Dudeists in the street, or in pubs and bars, you're just gonna have to rely on the signs, or chance making a fool out of yourself:"But what if I do... this!?" *complex hand gesture*"Huh?" *strange looks*
I for one have not many any brother shamus', but I live in hope.Maybe we should set up a club group down here in the PO postcode?
May have to start a new thread for this one. Klaus Korters and myself have been mates for years, and I've just sent him a message about "Dudes Day" perhaps we could have a local chapter meeting (has Pompey got a bowling alley?).
I've started this thread in response to discussions started elsewhere:
