I recently discovered the birth of a new religion and, filled with umm..zeal..yeah..I felt I must share it.
It is the Church of the Latter Day Dude (of which I am now an ordained minister) — also known as Dudeism.
Here is the link. http://www.dudeism.com
Here is an excerpt from the religion's manifesto. Fill free to grab an Oat Soda or a Caucasian, drive by the In and Out Burger and just, ya know, grab a bath and*edit* and, don't get stressed about the upcoming bowling tournament.
And, remember, the Chinaman is not the issue! Hope this religion really ties the room together.

THERE'S A RELIGION for its time and place...It fits right in there, helps us abide through all the strikes and gutters, the ups and downs of the whole durned human comedy. It really ties your life together.
And the religion for our time and place is Dudeism.
Of course, nihilists and reactionaries will probably dispute that—when they’re not throwing marmots into your bathtub or coffee cups at your forehead. That’s why you need to know how to respond when someone who is un-Dude asks you what the*edit* you’re talking about when you tell them about Dudeism.
Now, it’s a basic tenet of the Dudeist ethos to just say “*edit* it,” or “Yeah, well, that’s just, like, you’re opinion, man,” when someone micturates upon our faith. But we’re talking about unchecked theological aggression here, drawing a line in the spiritual sand, Dude. Across this line you do not—also, Dude, “faith” is not the preferred nomenclature—“worldview,” please.
So, What the heck am I Talking About?
Lost my train of thought there. Anyway, in defending whether Dudeism is really a religion, worldview, or what-have-you, a Dudeist must first address a very basic question: What makes a religion? Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn’t that what makes a religion? Or is it that along with a pair of testaments?
Well, Dude, we just don’t know. Religion is a very complicated thing. A lotta scriptural ins, a lotta ritual outs…a lot of ecclesiastical strands to keep in your head, man. There is a lot about religion that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to us. It can be quite stupefying, in fact.
