Dudeism

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Dudeism

Unread post by billy.pilgrim »

The Religion thread is locked for some reason,, so Dudeism gets its own thread.

I may be turning away from the FSM now that I have seen the light of Dudeism

"Despite its appearance of being a mock religion based on popular culture references, “Dudeism” is a coherent framework of thought that promotes a modern form of Chinese Taoism which is an intersection of Lao Tzu’s philosophy, Epicurus’ thoughts and The Dude’s charismatic irreverence for the hyper-anxiety of modernity."

Life is short and complicated and nobody knows what to do about it. So don’t do anything about it. Just take it easy, man … that is to say, abide.” .

The religion thread seems to be open. Maybe God or Dude is trying to tell you something.

Is there a Trinity of Dudeism or does it just stand alone? The "just take it easy" philosophy of it all has a strong appeal to me. And does the "just take it easy" concept only apply to earthly existence or is it a perpetual everlasting "just take it easy?"

Sounds a bit like Congregationalism.

Weird. When I search "religon" in topic titles I get a different "The Religion Thread", but the working thread from your link doesn't come up in the search.
The last post is banni announcing that he's locking the thread.

Could this be a real time example of the power of Dudeism to separate itself from the lesser religions?

I thought that maybe banni excommunicated you ;) , but 1 FAT CAN was spamming the same The Religion Thread that GoCubsGo linked. banni moved her/his spam to:
What happened in your life that caused you to hate God so much?

When 1 FAT CAN persisted there, banni locked the topic:

Yeah, he was spamming it, now won't leave this one. I'm locking this topic.
If you just search "religion" rather than searching in "Topic titles only", you get the never locked The Religion Thread and also Guns, race, religion, terror, wingnut thread.

Good cover story, but I'm sticking with there having been an actual divine intervention by the Dude himself using the full and mighty powers of Dudeism that caused me to create this special thread separate from the other threads espousing the various lesser religions.

Yeah, though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, the Dude and his staff are with me. Hell, that's all you need to know. And maybe, this; Do unto the Dude as you would have the Dude do unto you.

Dude-Do? Ewww. A better Dude would take you on better hikes and he would leave his assistants at the office, including that creepy Rod.
