Abide University is a center for higher learning with a lighthearted approach towards mind and meaning.
We offer free undergraduate and advanced degrees and a community of like-minded learners and thinkers.
Our philosophy is that if it doesn’t help improve quality and enjoyment of life, it’s not a part of our philosophy.
We welcome everyone to contribute to our knowledge base, share leads, and create a lounge for limber minds.
Though not the most esteemed (nor accredited) university on earth, we aim to be the most easygoing.

Tao says a journey starts with a single step. A Dudeist would start this journey after a candle-lit tub bath, a joint and a White Russian (or two). The Dudeist couldn’t see it as a race. Or….well, it’s all….never mind.
That’s just, like, your opinion man
Dude, that’s so rad!
May I nominate Abe Lincoln, POTUS and champion wrestler as a “Great Dude.” Wrestling in dozens of matches,
Pres Lincoln lost only one match. At 6’4″ he towered over contenders to his throne.
I second this
He also had monster arms. They were longer and bigger than normal and he was great at grappling.
As a 16 yo boy, Lincoln was traveling down the ‘sippi river with a friend. They were attacked by river bandits, and ole Abe fought them off with an axe handle.
Plus, man, he was a vampire killer.
I support a posthumous and honorary Dude-ship for a personal hero and inspirational figure in my life, Abraham Lincoln!

In silence there is nothing listening and nothing being heard.
Do we log in using the same info as we used for our ordination? If so, how do we’re figure out which one we used, if we have multiples and it’s been years? LOL
Sorry for the late reply. https://www.aui.me and http://www.dudeism.com are completely different websites. Also, you can’t log into dudeism.com – there is no log in feature.
This degree really holds the room together.

G’day Xander, fellow Aussie dude here! Very new to this abiding lifestyle and curious if there are any face-to-face or online groups for Australian dudes?

What if I’ve never seen the movie?
Than you have to watch it dude cuz it’s epic. If you don’t have anywhere to watch it go on almost legal platform TinyZone and write The Big Lebowski. I’ve been using it for a long time and didn’t got any viruses.
