Totally Dude!
I just posted my story of how I discovered I was Dudeist my whole life and didn't know it.
As you have probably noticed on the main website, Dudeism has always existed, and my historical Dudes have shared their version of it through out history! In non-TBL terms, we are basically talking about Taoism/Buddhism/Epicureanism here: the core ideas being the same revelations that enlightened human beings have tried to share in the past.
Essentially, by using TBL as the metaphor, The Church of Later Day Dude has made manifest an contemporary American version of what is called in the far east: the way of liberation.
Or at least, that is how I understand it.
Of-course, that is just my opinion Dude.
