... and now i must go have a good cry, because i'm an emotional wreck today
Rev. Ed, I'm 40, but 25 inside.
Hang on in there, Brandi! After every run of gutters, be sure to expect a damn-good strike
Hey busmum sorry for that. Or maybe it's just a needed thing. Anyway you'll surely know how to abide. Don't you?Hoping I haven't said a total bull***t.

I braid my beard daily, my hair occasionally and wear a big celtic design belt buckle and a celtic pattern bolo-tie most days. And yet, through all my (falsely) acquired celtic pride, I missed that perfect image.

It seems to me that Dudeism needs The Dude lest it wander into the mysts of ... ummm ... not human things?That is what we are saying...Dudeism needs The Dude...Abideism does Not.Abideism is what The Dude does.Abiding is what makes The Dude...The Dude, but it is Not The Dude.

True; the dude abides, because he is dude. In other words, he naturally abides because is is already dude like. Abiding comes more or less natural. But, the dude is the dude, and abiding simply happens as a natural result. Abiding is abiding, dude is dude. They dovetail, but they are not the same....this after many glasses of wine. Fabulous stuff, man.
Personally I am reticent to define "abidism" as anything different other than the act of being Dude.I fear that an increase in doctrine will only lead to (as others have voiced previously) a position where we have the "Abidiists" being the new Dudeist Pharisees.Doctrine = Dogma = Stagnation
