What would the Dude do?

That is the central spiritual, if not theological, concern of the Church of the Latter-day Dude, the totally not-fake religion based on the ethos of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, the slacker savior of Joel and Ethan Coen's 1998 cult masterpiece "The Big Lebowski."

Organized (or rather, disorganized) in 2005, the Church of the Latter-day Dude, aka "Dudeism," which prides itself for being "the slowest growing religion in the world," has ordained more than 120,000 Dudeist priests worldwide -- including yours truly.

Dudeism has evolved (yes, slowly) over the last six years from its birth as the brainchild of founder Oliver Benjamin, a journalist and native Californian who splits his time between Los Angeles and Chiang Mai, Thailand. But the transmission of Dudeist beliefs and practices have been largely an informal affair that has escaped formal codification.

Well, Dude, that is about to change with the publication of "The Abide Guide: Living Like Lebowski," the official Dudeist Bible, if you will, assembled by Benjamin and Dwayne Eutsey, who is better known in Dudeist circles as "The Arch Dudeship" and founder of the Dudest monastic order known as The Brotherhood Shamus.

5. I would have thought that the Dude was a SubGenius.

He'd have a unique appreciation of J. R. Bob Dobbs and the pursuit of Slack.
