Sorry Rev Ed C, I did not mean "christian" as in the Christian Religion, but in a christian manner with Popes and Bishops and Dogma and all the other rules and sacraments and other shit that come along with christianizing a philosophy or belief.I was Not accusing you of being a Christian...god forbid! , but of thinking in a "christianizing" way.
Quote from: Hominid on January 08, 2012, 11:06:27 PMThanks for writing that CCK, you've help remind me of my core beliefs about all this. I agree that there may indeed be some that want to over-think and over-complicate the whole thing; that they take Dudeism (and themselves) too seriously. Which is a trait of the religious; those who like the belief more than what the belief teaches. I think it's good that this is the 'slowest growing religion in the world", which to me says that there's little to no proselytizing. Hominid, man, much like CC, I respect you, but sometimes I worry about the things you say. Many, many times you've pointed the finger of seriousness towards me. Err... I don't see it myself. If anything, my special lady complains I'm not serious enough ... which sometimes gets me in serious trouble If this forum isn't a place where we can toss the philosophical pigskin around, what is it? We have a plethora of different boards for different subjects. And, several times I've suggested to people that if they don't want to get involved in these discussions and musings they don't have to I don't partake in discussions that doesn't interest me, so I expect that is my or any other "brit"'s lighthearted musings are not to the taste of others they'll ignore them. If you want to get involved and discuss, please do, but please don't complain that we're too serious. You don't get the joke, swap channels and find a sitcom more to your liking Sometimes I worry I oversmily... sometimes I worry I undersmily because they all get ignored. Is there one for a friendly ogre? Not looking to ruffle feathers here... just speaking my corner, because once again, I feel a little boxed into it

Oh please tell me we're not going to have to do this again
Ok, on a more serious note...would Dudeist I.D. cards help move us forward?
Would an ID card get me discounts on bowling, oat sodas, smoke, vaginal artwork, rugs, the rent, white russians, caucasians, theater, jelly saddles, beepers, in-and-out-bugers (those are good burgers), speed of light tours (bunch of assholes), ralphs, robes? I'm thinking 15%
Well actually Popes and Bishops and Dogmas are a feature of Catholicism and other offsprings of Christianity and not of JCD religion. I see what you mean cck but you know I like splitting hairs. See it like the satellite thing from Rev. Ed, at least that's as I see it. As for the ID cards I find them cool, and useful if someone has to show proofs of ordination without having to go around with the certificate. Imdo.
