Rhys Owens makes the case that having a comedy at the basis of your worldview may be the ideal form of idolatry. Is he havin' a laugh? Yes he is. And we should all join him.]]> http://dudespaper.com/the-solitary-slacker-and-dudeism.html/feed/ 3 http://dudespaper.com/the-bosom-of-the-pacific.html/ http://dudespaper.com/the-bosom-of-the-pacific.html/#comments Sat, 22 May 2010 09:15:47 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/the-bosom-of-the-pacific.html/ As we've often said, it's no easy thing to take er easy.

Kris Harrison stands up for nothing as he argues that nihilism isn't as bad as Uli, Franz and Dieter would make us otherwise believe. Rather than being a philosophy for dipshits with a nine-toed woman, it is in fact a very Dudely way of looking at the world.]]> http://dudespaper.com/abiding-and-nothingness.html/feed/ 9 http://dudespaper.com/on-dudeism.html/ http://dudespaper.com/on-dudeism.html/#comments Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:11:54 +0000 The Dudespaper http://dudespaper.com/on-dudeism.html/ Rev. Rhys Owens takes a deep philosophical look at Dudeism, its discontents, its malcontents and its very contents, thank you. This smart feller has marshalled the entire force of history and laced it with just enough Thai stick to make abundantly clear that Dudeism fits right in there. Is it a church? Is it a steeple?

Rev. William Hoffknecht discusses one of the cornerstones of Taoist iconography - a painting called "The Vinegar Tasters" and finds that just as it illuminates the personalities of Confucius, Buddha and Lao Tzu, it also does so for Walter, Donny and the Dude. Is there a literal connection? Well dude, we just don't know.

Andrea Favro shares with the assembled Dudeocracy the Dudeist version of the best-selling book "The Secret." Only we don't need any mystical mumbo jumbo to control the universe.

We've already revealed this in The Dudes Prayer and in the Tao Dude Ching. Rev. Bradley Ducak provides a new revelation: The Dudeist version of Psalm 23 in the Bible.

Aidan Tolhurst bowls us over with this thoughtful look at what makes bowling such a sacred sport, perhaps the most Dudeist sport in the known dudeiverse.
