Dudeism

Dudeism is a modern religion based outwardly on principles espoused implicitly by the character of "The Dude" in the Coen Brothers' 1998 film "The Big Lebowski." Despite this recent catalyst, Dudeism has been around in one form or another for cenuturies. It is heir to a long line of Dudeist apostles who have influenced humanity thoughout history, most likely beginning with the Chinese sage Lao Tzu (legendary author of the Tao te Ching). The principles of Dudeism are peacefulness, non-covetousness, immunity to peer pressure, right thinking (sometimes aided by a strict drug regiment, sometimes not), modesty in appearance, honoring thy friends, not worrying about s**t because life goes on, and most importantly, earnestly cultivating the facility to abide (remain true to one's self) regardless of unforeseen unfelicitous circumstances. Ordained ministers in its official organization, The Church of the Latter-Day Dude, are commonly referred to as "Dudeist Priests."

I used to believe in Buddhism until I found out there were so many rules and everybody wears the same clothes and they're all skinheads, man. Now I'm into Dudeism. What day is this? A weekday?

Post Dudeism

Post Dudeism is a movement started at the University of Hyderabad by His Awesomeness Mr McAwesome and Big D. This movement has got nothing to do with Dudeism. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one group people to move beyond the established norms and ways, the natural choice is to form a movement which is ahead of time. This need was felt by many people, though McAwesome and Big D were the first ones to start this movement. Started as a social networking group, this movement has fans and followers all over the world.

Don't cry like man. We're in the age of post dudeism. Be a a post dude.
