Dude, I like the idea of creating a model for setting "franchise" locations. Does anybody have any ideas on creating a model like this. I don't know the requirements for creating a "church" or whatever but if a dude could legally make his house a dudeist retreat or church or league or whatever I think it would be a great way to get the name out there and solidify our presence as an official "religion" and make it easier for dudes to find us. I also don't think too many dudes would mind the tax exemptions. After all its tough to abide sometimes when you gotta worry about feeding Uncle Sam's monkey.
Hmmmmm, they look the same. Have to say, though; great places to put your rug!
I'm just a kid walkin' into the middle of a movie here, but hey - maybe we all need to smoke a J, drink a Caucasian, and take'r easy. Dudeism isn't about spilling so much ink (pixels?) to TALK about a belief system and how to evangelize the rest of the world, and find meeting places. Shoosh, I seen that fail a few times before. Here we are, once again, the "haves" and the "have-nots", cause we're supposedly so enlightened. Religion is un-dude.It's LIVIN' it that makes you a dude. Hence the word "abiding". If yer a livin' example of it, people will be attracted to you and ask questions. Abiding will spread on its own. "Grass roots" I think they call it where I come from. Otherwise, them folks lookin' at all this chatterin' from the outside will tend to tell you to shut the fuck up, 'cause yer just makin' noise.And I know you see this comin' - This is all just, like, my opinion man.Now, I'm gonna take my own advice and shut the fuck up.
