The beauty of Dudeism is its simplicity.
Once a religion gets
too complex,
everything can go wrong.
That’s why the
“To What/From What/By What Means” method of identifying a religion is a great way to summarize the Dudeist ethos for your un-Dude friends.
For example, if you apply this method to Buddhism
(a compeer of Dudeism),
you can easily answer what the point of it is.
From what is Buddhism trying to liberate us? ...Suffering
To what state of being is Buddhism trying to bring us? ...Nirvana
By what means does Buddhism attempt do this?
...The Noble Eightfold Path.
Isn’t that fucking interesting, man?
Now let’s apply it to Dudeism:
From what is Dudeism trying to liberate us? ... Thinking that’s too uptight.
To what state of being is Dudeism trying to bring us: ...Just taking it easy, man.
By what means does Dudeism attempt to do this? ...Abiding.
(...from the "Take It Easy Manifesto")
