Dudeism

More of a philosophy than a theology quite curious to the members on the board's opinion of this way of thinking. I know it started as a way of a)mocking religion and b) promoting some Taoist philosophy. I find it interesting that Mark Townsend who's an Anglican priest uses dudeism as a tool as do various other Christians. For me it's in the same spirit as Alan watts, and considering watts started out as a priest it's all one big circle.

According to Townsend, he's is a priest in an "Independent Catholic Church."

I was just going with what was on his website.

He formerly was a priest in the Church of England, but left it for a splinter from a splinter of the Old Catholic Churches. His website makes clear that he left the CofE.

More like two over one. The Dirac Relativistic Quantum Wave Equation shows this parallel nature. Physics is the template for all that follows. The Strong Nuclear force is Proton (+) and Neutron. It is invariant symmetry and abides in symmetry laws that are unchanging. Electrons (-) are translational symmetry, breaking symmetry to create individuation. The weak force is Eve being refined. Adam is held by the Neutral. Of course, Adam was divided, but you must realize who divided him. Elohim and Ruach are one. Yahweh is the Son's Ego. Satan is the Son's accuser (conscience). Duality is oddly one thing divided, just as temperature is one thing (both hot and cold). The Son has risen. Three strands instead of two.

Ecclesiastes 4

8 There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!

9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
